Pontiac G6 Steering Safety Report | Feb 26, 2010
Reported on Feb 26, 2010
| I HAVE A 2006 PONTIAC G6, SE1 WITH A V^ ENGINE. THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING COLUMN SHAFT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AT ABOUT 30,000 MILES. IT STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN AT 50,000 MILES. COME TO FIND OUT WHEN THEY REPLACED IT ORIGINALLY, IT WAS REPLACED BY A DEFECTIVE PART. BETWEEN THE 2 MILEAGE AMOUNTS, GM RE-ENGINEERED THE SHAFT. GM WOULD NOT REPLACE THE PART, THEY SAID IT WAS MY PROBLEM, THAT I HAD TO PAY FOR IT. NOW AT 64,000 MILES, MY POWER STEERING MOTOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $600.00. SEEMS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM, BUT DON'T WANT TO STAND BEHIND THERE PRODUCT, UNLIKE TOYOTA. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT A LOCAL DEALER SAID THEY HAVE A RECALL GOING ON NOW FOR A CHEVY COBALT WITH THE SIMILAR PROBLEM. GM NEEDS TO STAND UP AND TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THERE PONTIACS. I'VE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON LINE, SOME HAVING STEERING WHEEL LOCK UP AT HIGH SPEEDS, AND ACCELERATION. THIS MUST NOT END IN TRAGEDY FOR ANYONE. *TR | |
