Pontiac G6 Steering Safety Report | Mar 18, 2009
Reported on Mar 18, 2009
| I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING ON MY 2005 PONTIAC G6 GT. IT FIRST STARTED WITH THE STEERING TIGHTENING WHILE MAKING A STIR. I THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT. BUT THREE DAYS AGO THE POWER STEERING WAS COMPLETELY GONE. I THANK GOD I WASN'T ON THE FREEWAY. I COULD HAVE CAUSED A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. I MANAGED TO TAKE IT TO A SHOP AND SUGGESTED REPLACING THE POWER STEERING FUSE. THAT WASN'T THE FIX. I CONTACTED A GM DEALER AND THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $100 TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. ALSO I WILL PROBABLY COST ME ANYWHERE TO $350 TO $500 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS DEALING WITH THE LOST OF STEER POWER WITH THE G6. SOME CARS WERE BRAND NEW. ACCORDING TO THE POSTING SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE CONTACTED GM CORPORATE WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT, BUT WITH NO SUCCESS. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT HAS TO BE ADDRESSED BY GM. THESE CARS NEED TO BE INSPECTED. THIS COULD RESULT IN CASUALTIES. PLEASE CAN ANYTHING BE DONE TO HAVE GM TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM? I FOUND A WEBSITE THAT HAS SEVERAL COMPLAINTS LIKE MINE. THE SITE IS WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM. *TR | |
