Pontiac G6 Steering Safety Report | Oct 30, 2009
Reported on Oct 30, 2009
| IN OCTOBER MY 2008 PONTIAC G6 STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE POWER STEERING. MY POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND IT WAS HARD TO KEEP MY CAR IN ONE LANE. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE THEN. THE POWER STEERING PROBLEM COMES AND GOES BUT IT IS ALWAYS DIFFICULT TO STEER (LIKE DRIVING AN OLDER MODEL CAR WITHOUT POWER STEERING). I DRIVE 90 MILES ROUNDTRIP TO WORK AND TRAVEL ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO KEEP MY CAR IN ONE LANE. MY STEERING WHEEL POPS. WHEN I STOP MY STEERING WHEEL MOVES BACK AND FORTH RAPIDLY ON ITS OWN. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP LAST WEEK AND THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD COST AROUND 550.00 TO REPAIR. I TOLD THEM I WOULD NOT PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT WAS A DEFECT. IF PONTIAC HAS RECALLED THE G5 AND THE G8 SHOULDN'T THEY RECALL THE G6. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. MY CAR HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR OVER 5 MONTHS. PONTIAC SHOULD REPAIR ALL CARS WITH THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR | |
