Pontiac G6 Steering Safety Report | Jan 17, 2009
Reported on Jan 17, 2009
| I HAVE A 2006 PONTIAC G-6. I HAD JUST GOTTEN IT OUT OF THE SHOP, AS I HAD AN ACCIDENT AND IT NEEDED REPAIRS. I DROVE IT ABOUT 25 MILES, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND I HAD NO CONTROL OF MY STEERING. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT I WAS IN TOWN DOING ABOUT 25 MPH. I PULLED OFF OF THE ROAD, CALLED THE AUTO BODY SHOP AND TOOK IT BACK. MY INSURANCE CO. SAID TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER AND HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC (SPELLING), DONE TO SEE IF IT WAS DUE TO THE ACCIDENT. WELL, IT WASN'T, SO I HAVE TO PAY TO GET IT FIXED. THAT'S WHEN THE AUTO BODY SHOP LOOKED IT UP AND SURE ENOUGH, THIS SEEMS TO BE A REAL PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE OF CAR. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY; THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE? WHY ; AFTER OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, AND EVEN HAD ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES, HASN'T SOMETHING BEEN DONE? I MYSELF, COULD'VE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND HURT. WHY; DOES THE CONSUMER, AND ,OR, THE INS. CO. HAVE TO PAY THE PRICE FOR GM'S FAILURES? WHO IS GOING TO COME TO MY RESCUE AND PULL ME OUT OF THIS FINANCIAL BURDEN? I HAVE A CAR THAT I CAN NOT DRIVE. WHEN WILL IT HAPPEN AGAIN? WHY IS GM NOT HELD ACCOUNTABLE? *TR | |
