Pontiac G6 Steering Safety Report | Mar 26, 2010
Reported on Mar 26, 2010
| I BOUGHT A 2006 G6, 23,000M, IN MAY 2006. WITHIN THREE MONTHS I WAS HEARING A CLICKING WHEN I TURNED THE RIGHT WHEEL. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER (STILL UNDER WARRENTY) AND THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM. AS SOON AS THE WARRENTY WAS OUT, THE SAME NOISE WAS BACK IN BOTH WHEELS. RECENTLY THE STEERING HAS BECOME STIFF WHEN BACKING OUT AND TURNING CORNERS. THIS MORNING ON THE WAY TO WORK IN THE POURING RAIN, I THOUGHT I WAS HYDROPLAINING WHEN I REALIZED IT WAS THE STEERING LOCKING! WHEN I GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE THE WHEEL WAS WHOBBLING AS IF IT WAS SEVERELY OUT OF ALIGNMENT. I HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THE PUSH FOR A 2006 G6 RECALL BECAUSE OF STEERING PROBLEMS BUT UNTIL THIS MORNING THOUGHT I WOULD LET OTHERS FILE COMPLAINTS. NOW I'M AFRAID OF MY CAR. PLEASE DON'T WAIT UNTIL A DEATH HAPPENS TO RECALL. IT MAY BE THAT G6 OWNERS ONLY RECOURSE IS TO SEEK A CLASS ACTION SUITE AGAINST GM BUT HOPEFULLY MY AND ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS WILL LET NHTSA REALIZE THIS ISSUE IS SERIOUS AND GM HAS FAILED TO ADDRESS IT!! | |
