Pontiac G6 Steering Hydraulic Power Assist System Safety Report | Dec 22, 2006
Reported on Dec 22, 2006
| FIRST, THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, BUT THE POWER STEERING REMAINED OPERABLE. THEREAFTER, THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON TWO OCCASIONS, ONE WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AND THE OTHER AT ABOUT 70 MPH WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. THE FAILURE OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING AND THE POWER STEERING WILL COME BACK ON WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. SO FAR I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PREVENT ANY RESULTING ACCIDENTS, BUT IF THIS FAILURE WERE TO OCCUR MID-TURN THE RESULT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. *NM | |
