Pontiac G6 Steering Safety Report | Sept 21, 2010
Reported on Sept 21, 2010
| THIS WAS THE FIRST OCCURRENCE OF STEERING PROBLEMS - A THUMPING NOISE WHEN TURNING LEFT AND ACCELERATING - INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT, IT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. ON 07-18-2012. I WAS DRIVING THE CAR WHEN I FELT IT WOULD NOT PROPERLY TURN- HAD TO FORCE STEERING WHEEL. ON 07-19-2012 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MAKE A 130 DEGREE RIGHT TURN. SHE WOUND UP IN THE OPPOSING LANE OF TRAFFIC. THE CAR WAS REPAIRED THE NEXT DAY, THE STEERING RACK GEAR HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS VEHICLE HAD ONLY 39,002 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE CAR WAS NEVER IN AN ACCIDENT AND WAS VERY WELL MAINTAINED. I TALKED TO CUSTOMER SERVICE AT GENERAL MOTORS, PONTIAC DIVISION BECAUSE I FEEL THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE. I ASKED FOR SOME REIMBURSEMENT, WHICH THEY REFUSED, BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO GET THIS REPORTED. I HOPE THIS GETS LOOKED INTO AND PERHAPS A LIFE SAVED. THANK YOU *TR | |
