Pontiac G6 Steering Column Safety Report | Sept 16, 2007
Reported on Sept 16, 2007
| POWER STEERING WAS GOING OUT ON MY CAR FOR NO GOOD REASON, SOMETIMES WHEN I WASN'T EVEN TURNING. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THIS CAR HAS ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING AND THAT AT TIMES WHEN POWER STEERING IS BEING USED TOO MUCH (EXAMPLE IN A U TURN AND YOUR KEEPING IT IN THE POSITION FOR LONG TIME) THAT IT CAN GO OUT AND ?SHOULD? RETURN AFTER A FEW TURNS OR MOVEMENTS. LATER THEY FOUND OUT THEY HAD TO RESET THE STEERING COLUMN (RE-SYNCHRONIZED THE SENSORS THAT WERE OFF) CAR WORKED FINE FOR 1 WEEK. THEN .. . FINALLY THEY SAY THAT THE STEERING COLUMN HAS TO BE REPLACED AND ITS GOING TO COST 700.00. SINCE I HAVE DONE THAT I HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS SINCE. NOW PONTIAC IS REIMBURSING FOR THE REPAIR. I DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE BUYING A PONTIAC. *TR | |
