Pontiac G6 Steering Safety Report | Aug 13, 2010
Reported on Aug 13, 2010
| PULLING OUT OF MY ROAD AND POWER STEERING JUST GIVES OUT.. I CAN BARELY TURN THE WHEEL TO AVOID CRASHING INTO THE DITCH ACROSS THE STREET. IM 8 MONTHS PREGNANT AND THERE WERE CARS COMING AT ME AT 55 MPH. I MANAGE TO TURN AROUND AND GO HOME, MY BOYFRIEND CHECKS IT OUT AND THE MANUAL SAYS POWER STEERING FLUID. NO POWER STEERING FLUID IN THIS CAR, ITS ALL ELECTRICAL. HE TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT WAS FINE. NOW MY CAR IS AT THE DEALER AND I'M PAYING 80 DOLLARS AN HOUR TO DIAGNOSE THIS WELL KNOWN PROBLEM. I COULD HAVE DIED IF I WERE DRIVING, I'M NOT THE HULK, I CANNOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE IF THE POWER STEERING JUST DECIDES TO GIVE OUT ON ME. WHAT IF I WERE ON A BACK ROAD WITH LOTS OF TURNS? I WOULD HAVE CRASHED RIGHT INTO A TREE. THANK GOD I WAS JUST PULLING OUT WHEN IT ACTED UP, THANK GOD THE CARS WERE FAR ENOUGH AWAY TO SLOW DOWN FOR ME. *TR | |
