Pontiac G6 Steering Safety Report | Nov 01, 2007
Reported on Nov 01, 2007
| I OWN A 2006 PONTIAC G6. IT IS TO MY KNOWLEDGE THAT SINCE MAY 2007 PONTIAC HAS BEEN UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR LOSS OF POWER STEERING IN THE 2005-2006 MODELS OF THE G6 WHICH INCLUDES AN ESTIMATED 170,000 VEHICLES. MY COMPLAINT IS WHY HAS THERE BEEN NO RECALL? MY VEHICLE BEGAN HAVING THIS POWER STEERING PROBLEM WHEN IT HIT 45000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT PAY FOR THE PROBLEM. EVEN THOUGH MY CAR IS OVER WARRANTY, THIS IS PONTIAC'S PROBLEM. IT IS THERE RESPONSIBILITY. MY POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT WHILE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. THE LOCAL DEALER EXPLAINED THAT I NEEDED A NEW STEERING COLUMN BECAUSE THE SENSOR ALONE COULD NOT BE FIXED. THEY STATED THAT THIS WOULD COST MY AROUND 800-1000 DOLLARS OUT OF POCKET. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND LOOKED UPON VERY CLOSELY!!!! SOMEONE IS GOING TO END UP WITH A SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH. IF IT IS ME, BE READY TO BE SUED IMMEDIATELY. *TR | |
