Pontiac G6 Steering Electric Power Assist System Safety Report | July 22, 2010
Reported on July 22, 2010
| THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ON MY 2005 PONTIAC G6 IS GOING OUT. ITS BEEN HAPPENING DAILY SINCE THE FIRST TIME AND UP TO MULTIPLE TIMES IN A DAY. AND IM JUST CONCERN BECAUSE ITS HAPPEN WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR. IT STARTED LIKE A WEEK AGO WHILE DRIVING MY FATHER HOME FROM WORK I WAS GOING TO MAKE A TURN INTO MY COMPLEX WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE WHEEL LOCKS UP AND ALMOST MADE ME HIT A PARKED CAR. AT FIRST IT HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING WITHIN THE COMPLEX THEN 2 DAYS AGO IT STARTED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT ROUND 35 TO 45 MPH. WHICH CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS IF THERE ARE CARS AROUND ME DON'T WANT TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR ANYTHING. I WENT TO GO BUY POWER STEERING FLUID BUT WHEN LOOKING UNDER THE HOOD I REALIZED THERE WAS NO PUMP FOR IT. SO I STARTED DOING WEB SEARCHES FOR ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ON MY CAR. I CAME ACROSS SEVERAL WEBSITE TALKING ABOUT ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME CARE. THERE WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW THERE PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME SITUATION AND HOW MUCH THEY HAD TO PAY. AND THAT THERE SHOULD BE SOME SORT OF RECALL FOR THIS CAR BECAUSE THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND EVEN MORE IF ITS HAPPENING TO ALOT OF PEOPLE. *TR | |
