Pontiac G6 Steering Safety Report | Dec 15, 2009
Reported on Dec 15, 2009
| THE POWER STEERING IN MY PONTIAC G6 DOES NOT WORK CONSISTENTLY. AFTER I REVERSE OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND THEN TRY TO TURN THE WHEEL IT IS OFTEN VERY TIGHT. THE POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR LOCKS UP COMPLETELY. RESTARTING IT HELPS BUT CONSTANTLY RESTARTING A CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF TURNING IS A SAFETY HAZARD. MORE RECENTLY INSTEAD OF LOCKING UP THE POWER STEERING OF MY CAR HAS BEEN SO LOOSE THAT I FEEL I DO NOT HAVE CONTROL OVER IT. FROM ONE DAY TO THE NEXT I DO NOT KNOW HOW MY CAR WILL HANDLE, AND I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY, ESPECIALLY WITH SNOW COMING. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE SHOP, I WAS TOLD, THERE IS ONE OF THREE THINGS WRONG WITH THE STEERING AND TO FIX IT WOULD BE EXPENSIVE. OUR SUGGESTION WOULD BE TO DRIVE IT UNTIL IT GETS EVEN WORSE AND THEN BRING IT BACK TO BE FIXED. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2006, G6'S. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. IT IS DANGEROUS. I WAS REALLY EXCITED ABOUT GETTING THIS CAR. I LOVE THE FEATURES AND DON'T WANT TO GET RID OF IT, BUT I NO LONGER FEEL THAT I HAVE CONTROL EVERY DAY. THE POWER STEERING VARIES TOO MUCH. *TR | |
