Pontiac G6 Steering Safety Report | Feb 25, 2009
Reported on Feb 25, 2009
| ON MANY OCCASIONS WILL I BE DRIVING MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 WHEN THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING GOES OUT. IT IS NOT LIKE YOUR NORMAL FLUID BASED POWER STEERING FAILURE. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO MAN HANDLE . THIS OCCURS PROBABLY ON A DAILY BASIS NOW AND THE ONLY WAY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM IS STOP THE CAR , POWER OFF AND RESTART. PROBLEM BEING OF COURSE STOPPING THE CAR IN MID DRIVE WHEN YOU SUDDENLY LOSE CONTROL. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND HAVE FOUND MANY, MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUES. MANY OF THEM HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN IN ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THE FAILURE, SO FAR I AM LUCKY KNOCK ON WOOD. I HAVEN'T PURSUED A SIMPLE FIX AT THE DEALER WITH THIS BECAUSE OF SEEING HOW THE ISSUE IS NOT BEING RESOLVED FOR OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR | |
