Pontiac G6 Steering Safety Report | July 10, 2008
Reported on July 10, 2008
| BOUGHT A 2006 PONTIAC G6 GT AUG1, 2007 WITH 34,000KM ON IT. SUMMER OF 2008 IT STARTED TO MAKE A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL AT LOW SPEEDS IE: PULLING IN OR OUT OF PARKING. TOOK IT TO GM DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE INTERMITTENT STEERING SHAFT AND THEY SAID STEP ONE WAS TO LUBRICATE IT. THAT WORKED FOR APPROX 1-2 DAYS. NEXT STEP WAS TO REPLACE IT WHICH WAS DONE UNDER WARRANTY BY THE DEALER IN THE FALL OF 2008. IT IS NOW END OF FEB 2010 AND IY IS BACK AGAIN. THIS TIME IT PROGRESSED QUICKLY SO THAT IN LESS THAN 1.5 WEEKS IT HAS GONE FROM OCCASIONALLY TO CONSISTENTLY. HOWEVER, I WILL NOT RETURN TO GM FOR THIS REPAIR AS I HAVE NOW HAD 3 OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR AND NONE OF THEM WERE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR | |
