Pontiac G6 Steering Safety Report | June 30, 2010
Reported on June 30, 2010
| I OWN AN 2008 PONTIAC G6 2.4L I HAVE NOT HAD MY 2008 PONTIAC G6 FOR A FULL YEAR YET AND THE FAULTY STEERING ISSUES STARTED SHOWING UP IN JUNE. STEERING TO THE LEFT IS VERY LOOSE WHILE STEERING TO THE RIGHT IS VERY TIGHT. WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN I FELT I LOST SOME CONTROL OVER THE STEERING. TOO MUCH PLAY ON THE STEERING AND I WAS NOT SURE HOW MUCH I NEEDED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO MAKE MY TURN SAFELY. I BECAME VERY FOCUSED ON THE STEERING PERFORMANCE AFTER THAT AND NOTICED THAT LEFT TURNS WERE LOOSE AND THE STEERING WHEEL MOVED LOOSELY WHILE ON RIGHT TURNS THE STEERING WHEEL WAS RIGID AND COULD NOT BE MOVED AND REQUIRED MORE FORCE IN MAKING THE TURN. I HAD THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT ASSEMBLY REPLACED IN JULY.AND THE ISSUES ARE STILL THERE. I HAVE TAKEN TO THE GM DEALER AND THEY STATED THIS IS HOW THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SHOULD WORK HOW CAN INTERMITTENT AND UNPREDICTABLE LOSS OF CONTROL OF YOUR VEHICLE DUE TO MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION NOT WARRANT A RECALL?!!! *TR | |
