Pontiac G6 Steering Safety Report | Jan 25, 2011
Reported on Jan 25, 2011
| I OWN A 2006 PONTIAC G6 GT AND HAVE HAD THE POWER STEERING LIGHT COME ON WHILE DRIVING AND MY WHEEL LOCKS UP COMPLETELY AND I CANNOT TURN IT. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED THEN THE LIGHT ONLY CAME ON. SO I FINISHED MY SHIFT AT WORK AND THEN DROVE TO AUTO ZONE TO BUY FLUID. ON MY WAY THERE, THE WHEEL LOCKED UP AND I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY, UNABLE TO TURN OFF OF IT. FINALLY I PUT MY CAR IN NEUTRAL, TURNED IT OFF, THEN TURNED IT BACK ON. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO BUY FLUID BUT THE POWER STEER IS ELECTRIC IN G6'S. I WAS TOLD THAT MY ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND I'M NO LONGER UNDER THE WARRANTY BY MY DEALERSHIP. I'VE BEEN RESEARCHING DIFFERENT SITES ONLINE AND MANY, MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR G6'S. THIS IS A SERIOUS AND VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM CONSIDERING THE STEERING WHEEL OF THE CAR LOCKS COMPLETELY AND WILL NOT TURN WHILE DRIVING IT. I DON'T HAVE $700+ TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED AND I REFUSE TO PAY FOR AN ISSUE ON MY CAR THAT IS CLEARLY THE MANUFACTURER'S MISHAP CONSIDERING MANY, MANY PEOPLE HAVE FAULTY POWER STEERING. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BEFORE PONTIAC IS THE NEW TOYOTA AND BEGIN CAUSING DEATHS BECAUSE OF IT'S FAULTY VEHICLES. *TR | |
