Pontiac G6 Steering Safety Report | Oct 10, 2009
Reported on Oct 10, 2009
| WHILE TAKING A RIGHT TURN DRIVING TO WORK THE POWER STEERING IN MY G6 WENT OUT CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO LOCK UP SENDING ME INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I LUCKILY WAS OUT AT A LOW TRAFFIC TIME AND WAS ABLE TO AVOID BEING HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE STEERING AFTER THAT POINT WAS POSSIBLE BUT EXTREMELY HARD TO MANAGE AND SHARP OR QUICK TURNS WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE. I REACHED MY DESTINATION WHICH WAS CLOSE AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. WHEN I RESTARTED THE ENGINE THE POWER STEERING ALERT THAT HAD FLASHED ON MY RADIO WAS OFF AND THE POWER STEERING SEEMED NORMAL AGAIN. AFTER RESEARCHING I'VE LEARNED THAT THIS HAS BEEN ON ONGOING PROBLEM AND I CAN EXPECT THAT IT WILL HAPPEN TO MY CAR AGAIN WITHOUT WARNING PUTTING ME IN DANGER WHILE DRIVING. *TR | |
