Pontiac G6 Steering Safety Report | Dec 21, 2008
Reported on Dec 21, 2008
| AFTER 64,000 MILES ON A 2005 PONTIAC G6, I STARTED HEARING A CLUNK NOISE AFTER TURNING STEERING WHEEL AND WHILE DRIVING ON EXPRESSWAY OVER 50 MPH, MY STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES. IT FEELS AS THOUGH THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOOSE AND SOMETHING IS ABOUT TO COME APART ON MY CAR. I WENT TO A MECHANIC TO GET NEW BRAKE PADS AND HE STATED THAT THE VIBRATION AND STEERING NOISE WAS BECAUSE MY BALL JOINTS WERE BAD. I HANDLE THIS CAR EXTREMELY WELL AND CAN NOT UNDERSTAND WHY BALL JOINTS WOULD BE BAD SO SOON. HE ALSO STATED THAT AFTER TRYING TO FIND PARTS, ONLY THE DEALER SOLD THEM AND THEY WERE A WHOPPING 215.00 FOR EACH SIDE OF CAR. MY WARRANTY EXPIRED AND THIS IS GOING TO BE AN OUT OF POCKET COST. IT ALSO SEEMS THAT I HAVE TO KEEP REPLACING THE BRAKES AND ROTORS OFTEN. ADDITIONALLY MY POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON SPORADICALLY MAKING IT HARD FOR ME TO TURN THE WHEEL. *TR | |
