Pontiac G6 Steering Safety Report | Dec 01, 2007
Reported on Dec 01, 2007
| I HAVE A PONTIAC G6 2005 THAT I HAVE HAD SINCE APRIL 2005. STARTING THIS YEAR I NOTICED A RATTLING SOUND COMING FROM THE STEERING. I FOUND A TSB (TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN) ABOUT IT STATING IT WAS A LUBRICATION PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS WHERE THE LUBRICATION WAS NEED YOU HAD TO TAKE THE STEERING APART TO LUBE IT. WHAT? IN OTHER WORDS THE WARRANT WOULD NOT COVERED THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT WAS A LUBE PROBLEM. GREAT ENGINEERING. JUST STARTING THIS MONTH (DECEMBER 2007) I HAVE NOTICED MY STEERING HAS BEEN REALLY TIGHT TURNING AT SLOW SPEEDS, FOR INSTANCE, WHEN LEAVING MY DRIVEWAY, AND INCREASING IN FREQUENCY. I STUMBLED ON THIS WEBSITE AND BECAME CURIOUS AND FOUND THAT SO MANY G6 OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME SYMPTOMS AND NEEDED THE SAME FIX. I HAVE A VERY GOOD QUESTION, YOUR STEERING GIVES OUT WHILE DRIVING, IS THIS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE? HOW IS IT THAT THIS IS NOT A RECALL PROBLEM YET? IS BECAUSE NO ONE WAS KILLED YET? IT APPEARS THE SENSOR IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED, BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR | |
