Pontiac G6 Steering Safety Report | Nov 07, 2009
Reported on Nov 07, 2009
| MY PONTIAC G6 2006 HAS A FAULTY POWER STEERING MALFUNCTION THAT ALMOST RESULTED IN A HORRIBLE CRASH. THE CAR STARTED UP FINE AS USUAL, THEN ON THE ROAD, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS MAKING IT UNABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL AT ALL, AND THE POWER STEERING WHEEL LIGHT COMES ON. I DRIVE ON A FREEWAY EVERYDAY AND IT ALMOST RESULTED INTO A FATAL CRASH, IF I HADN'T PUT ON MY HAZARDOUS LIGHTS IMMEDIATELY. THE POWER STEERING WHEEL, TO MY SURPRISE, DOES NOT USE FLUID RATHER IS ELECTRONIC. THEREFORE HIGHLY EXPENSIVE, JUST FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, AND THEN FOR REPAIR. I STRONGLY URGE FOR THIS DEFECT TO BE NOTIFIED AND BE RECALLED FOR ITS DANGEROUS POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES WHILE ON THE ROAD. *TR | |
