Pontiac G6 Steering Safety Report | Sept 09, 2009
Reported on Sept 09, 2009
| POWER STEERING GOES OUT ABOUT 4 TO 5 TIMES A WEEK FOR ABOUT 7 MONTHS. DOES NOT ONLY GO OUT AT SLOW SPEEDS BUT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ALSO. WHEN STEERING GOES OUT IT IS VERY HARD TO STEER, AND IT ALSO JERKS. MY HUSBAND IS 6'4 AND HE PULLED A MUSCLE IN HIS BACK WHEN IT WENT OUT WITH HIM DRIVING TO WORK ONE MORNING AND I HAVE INJURED BOTH WRIST. THESE CARS ARE HARD TO STEER REGARDLESS OF SPEED. I HAVE 2 CHILDREN 8 MONTHS AND 3 YEARS OLD AND HAVE HAD TO FIGHT THE CAR TO A STOP MORE THAN ONCE WHEN THEY WERE IN THE CAR. I BOUGHT THIS G6 CAR USED 1 YEAR AGO IN AUG.2008. THIS STARTED AS A ONCE AN A WHILE PROBLEM WITHIN A MONTH AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR. NOW IT HAPPENS ON A DAILY BASIS. THREE DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS SAID THAT THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM, AND WILL DO NOTHING NOT EVEN TRY TO DIAGNOSE IT. BUT THEY HAVE TO KNOW ITS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH. EVEN IF GM CLAIMS THIS ONLY HAPPENS AT SLOW SPEEDS IN PARKING LOTS AND DRIVE WAYS WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE INCLUDING CHILDREN AROUND THESE CARS. THIS IS NOT ONLY A SAFETY RISK TO THE DRIVERS OF THESE CARS BUT OTHER DRIVERS AND PEDESTRIANS AROUND THEM. ITS LIKE A CAR IN MOTION WITH OUT A DRIVER! DRIVE CAR AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE NOT EVEN TO WORK AS I CATCH A RIDE WITH MY MOM. I HAVE GIVEN YOU THE LAST DATE INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED AS OF THIS COMPLAINT BELOW.*TR | |
