Pontiac G6 Steering Safety Report | May 23, 2008
Reported on May 23, 2008
| I WAS TURNING INTO A GAS STATION WHEN MY STEERING WHEEL ABRUPTLY JERKED OUT OF MY HAND. THE CENTER CONSOLE DISPLAY IN MY 2005 PONTIAC G6 GT NOTIFIED ME THAT MY POWER STEERING HAD GONE OUT. MY CAR HAS ONLY 45,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP AND WORKED ON FOR SEVERAL HOURS BY A MECHANIC, HE STATED THAT IT NEEDED TO BE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE HE DID NOT HAVE THE PROPER EQUIPMENT TO FIX IT. UPON STARTING IT UP LATER THAT NIGHT, IT DROVE PROPERLY WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM WITH THE POWER. *TR UPDATE (10/5/08): VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER BUT ABLE TO TURNE. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE ENTIRE STEERING [COLUMN] ASSEMBLY UNDER A HIDDEN WARRANTY 7 YEAR 70,000 MILES. IT IS WORKING GREAT NOW. | |
