Pontiac G6 Steering Safety Report | Dec 05, 2008
Reported on Dec 05, 2008
| I COMPLETELY LOST STEERING IN MY VEHICLE..I WAS WITH MY 16 MONTH OLD SON AND MY STEERING WHEEL WENT COMPLETELY LOOSE, THEN IT WOULD TIGHTEN UP SO TIGHT, IT WOULD TAKE ALL OF MY STRENGTH TO TURN THE WHEEL. I WAS GOING AROUND 20 MPH AT THE TIME OF THE SECOND INCIDENT. IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE, WE WOULD HAVE BOTH BEEN KILLED. THIS HAPPENED AROUND 4 WEEKS BEFORE WHILE TRYING TO LEAVE THE PARKING LOT OF A LOCAL COLLEGE. THE STEERING WHEEL TIGHTENED AND IT TOOK ME AND MY PASSENGER TO TURN THE WHEEL TO EXIT THE LOT. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS CLEARLY A PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL OF THESE VEHICLES, AND PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED FROM LOSS OF STEERING. IT IS APPROXIMATELY $1000 TO REPAIR, SO MY CAR WHICH IS A 2006 IS NOW PARKED UNTIL GM WILL PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. *TR | |
