Pontiac G6 Steering Safety Report | Dec 09, 2009
Reported on Dec 09, 2009
| WHILE MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN AT AN INTERSECTION, THE STEERING POPPED AND LOCKED UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN. THE CAR RAN INTO THE OPPOSITE LANE WHEN THE STEERING LOCKED. I CAME ABOUT A FOOT AWAY FROM HITTING A TRUCK THAT WAS COMING FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. I IMMEDIATELY PARKED THE CAR AND MOVED THE WHEEL BACK AND FORTH. THE WHEEL LOCKED IN BOTH DIRECTIONS, THEN WOULD RELEASE AND CONTINUE TURNING. AT ONE POINT, A POWER STEERING ERROR SHOWED ON THE CD PLAYER. I TURNED THE CAR OFF A FEW TIMES AND TRIED TURNING THE WHEEL AGAIN, AND ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME IT WOULD MALFUNCTION AGAIN, THE OTHER TIME IT WOULD BE NORMAL. FOR ALL THE SAME COMPLAINTS ON THIS VEHICLE, SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. *TR | |
