Pontiac G6 Steering Safety Report | Jan 16, 2011
Reported on Jan 16, 2011
| I OWN A 2005 PONTIAC G6 GT THAT I PURCHASED IN 2005. AROUND 2007 WAS THE FIRST OCCURRENCE OF THE POWER STEERING LOCK-UP . I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS PERFORMED AND I WAS SENT ON MY WAY. I REGULARLY MAINTAIN MY CAR AND TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT. IN THE LAST YEAR THE PROBLEM HAS BECOME WORSE (HAPPENED 5-6 TIMES LAST YEAR AND AGAIN THIS MORNING) AND I WAS TOLD BY GM THAT IT IS EASIER TO FILE A LAW SUIT THAN FOR THEM TO RECALL THE CAR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND VERY INCONSIDERATE TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. WHAT HAPPENS IS, THE POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON ACROSS THE RADIO, THE MAINTENANCE WRENCH SHOWS ON THE DASH AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL. THE CAR THEN HAS TO BE SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED TO RE-GAIN CONTROL. *TR | |
