Pontiac G6 Steering Safety Report | June 17, 2008
Reported on June 17, 2008
| IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING I LOSE POWERING STEERING. I HAVE TALKED TO SOMEONE ABOUT THIS, BUT THEY SAID THAT THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING SINCE THE CAR HAD JUST PASSED THE MILEAGE THAT WAS SET. THIS PROBLEM WAS A CONSISTENT PROBLEM BEFORE THE MILEAGE THAT WAS SET. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON AND SINCE IT WENT AWAY AFTER I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON I THOUGHT IT WAS NO BIG PROBLEM. IT THEN AGAIN HAPPENED THE FOLLOWING MONTH AFTER THAT INCIDENT WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON I95. I THEN DID A GOOGLE SEARCH ON THE PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL IN AFFECT SINCE 2007 AND THIS IS WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR. GM IS REFUSING TO FIX THE PROBLEM THAT THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR CAUSING. NOW I HAVE A CAR THAT IS I CAN'T GET FIXED JUST BECAUSE THEY DID A POOR JOB IN PUTTING THE INFORMATION OUT TO THE PUBLIC EFFECTIVELY ABOUT THE FAULT. I DO NOT FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED DURING MANUFACTURING PROCESS. *TR | |
