Pontiac G6 Steering Safety Report | Nov 02, 2009
Reported on Nov 02, 2009
| MY CAR STEERING IS STALLED ALL OF A SUDDEN WHILE I WAS TAKING AN EXIT FROM THE FREEWAY. IT HAS BECOME VERY HARD TO PULL OVER THE CAR TO A SIDE. I WOULD HAVE RUN INTO ANOTHER CAR IF THE OTHER CAR DID NOT STOP AND HONK AT ME. TODAY I WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD IF THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON A FREEWAY. THERE IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IN THIS PONTIAC G6 CAR. WHEN TAKEN TO THE REPAIR SHOP THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND ANY ISSUE. FINALLY AFTER COUPLE INTERACTIONS WITH THE REPAIR SHOP, THEY FOUND A PROBLEM WITH STEERING SHAFT. LATER, I GOT TO KNOW THAT THIS PROBLEM IS BEEN THERE FOR A WHILE AND GM HAS NOT ORDERED A RECALL AND FIXED THE ISSUE. I DO NOT MIND SPENDING MONEY AND FIXING IT, BUT THE PROBLEM IS, THAT THERE IS NO FIX AND EVEN AFTER CHANGING THE SHAFT. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THE PROBLEM WILL NOT REPEAT. GM HAS TO DO A RECALL AND FIX THE ISSUE AT THE BOTTOM. *TR | |
