Pontiac G6 Steering Electric Power Assist System Safety Report | May 16, 2007
Reported on May 16, 2007
| THE POWER STEERING IN THE 2006 PONTIAC G6 SEDAN HAS BEEN FAILING RECENTLY. AT FIRST, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS MUCH FREER WHEN TURNING LEFT AND VERY TIGHT WHEN TURNING RIGHT. THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT BUT IS OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY NOW. I AM NOW GETTING A TOTAL FAILURE OF POWER STEERING ALONG WITH THE POWER STEERING MESSAGE ON THE DISPLAY. WHEN THIS OCCURS I HAVE TO STOP AND TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART. SOMETIMES, IT OPERATES PROPERLY, BUT TODAY IT CONTINUED TO FAIL AFTER THREE DIFFERENT ATTEMPTS TO RESTART. ALL OF THIS OCCURRED IN THE SPAN OF ONE MILE. ALTHOUGH WAS NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, I HAVE VERY SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *AK | |
