Pontiac G6 Steering Safety Report | Aug 07, 2009
Reported on Aug 07, 2009
| MY PONTIAC G6 POWER STEERING SIGNAL WAS COMING OWN FOR REPAIR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR AND FOUND THAT I NEEDED A NEW MOTOR PUMP. THE MOTOR GOT REPLACED, BUT THAT SAME NIGHT I GOT THE SAME MESSAGE ON MY DASH ABOUT POWER STEERING. I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO DEALER FOR ANOTHER LOOK AT THE CAR AND THEY FOUND THAT MY STEERING COLUMN NEEDS REPAIR. I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT MY STEERING WHEEL NEEDS REPAIR CONSIDERING MY CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. MY WARRANTY DID NOT COVER THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM, SO I CALLED GM TO REPORT THE PROBLEM AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. THIS IS A FACTORY PROBLEM DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE CAR HAS ONLY 47,000 MILES AND THAT ITS NOT COMMON FOR THESE TYPE OF PROBLEMS EARLY IN THE MILEAGE. MY CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE DUE TO ACCIDENT CONCERNS, THIS COULD REALLY CAUSE DEATH BECAUSE IT POPS ON OUT OF NOWHERE AND LOCKS YOUR STEERING WHEEL. IMAGINE BEING ON THE HIGHWAY AND EVERYONE IS GOING 50-60 MPH AND YOU LOOSE CONTROL OF YOUR CAR AL OF A SUDDEN. THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE RECALLED, AND I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAS HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM EARLY IN THERE MILEAGE ON PONTIAC G6 MODELS (2006). THIS HAS TO BE TAKEN SERIOUS OR SOMEONE COULD LOOSE THERE LIFE AND THINGS COULD GET REAL BAD FOR GM. *TR | |
