Pontiac G6 Steering Safety Report | Jan 01, 2007
Reported on Jan 01, 2007
| 2006 PONTIAC G6 - STEERING COLUMN NOISE & THUMP -- FEELS LIKE STEERING WHEEL IS GOING TO STICK + YOU CAN FEEL IT IN THE BRAKES. BEFORE WARRANTY WAS UP, THEY REPLACED THE STEERING SHAFT. PROBLEM WENT AWAY TEMPORARILY. JUST AS MY WARRANTY WAS UP, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I HAD TO FIGHT FOR THEM TO REPLACE IT AGAIN. ANOTHER DEALER WAS WILLING, AND REPLACED THE STEERING SHAFT AGAIN. IT ONLY TOOK ONE MONTH BEFORE THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. NOW I JUST LIVE WITH IT. I WOULD SWEAR MY CAR STEERING IS EVENTUALLY GOING TO LOCK OR BREAK AND KILL SOMEONE, BUT PONTIAC SWEARS IT'S TOTALLY FINE. YOU WANT AN INCIDENT DATE, BUT I CAN'T GIVE YOU A SPECIFIC DATE BECAUSE THERE ARE TOO MANY. THIS IS CONSTANT. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. THEY RECALLED THIS ISSUE ON THE GM LINE OF TRUCKS AS A SAFETY PROBLEM, BUT NOT ON THE CARS. NOW I THINK I'VE READ THAT THERE MIGHT FINALLY BE A PROPER REPLACEMENT PART, BUT I DON'T FEEL LIKE IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR IT. GM SHOULD RECALL THIS PROBLEM. IT'S RIDICULOUS TO HAVE A POPPING, STICKING, CLUNKING SOUND & FEELING EVERY TIME YOU TURN YOUR STEERING WHEEL RIGHT OR LEFT. *TR | |
