Pontiac G6 Steering Safety Report | Mar 22, 2011
Reported on Mar 22, 2011
| AS I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE POWER STEERING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. LIGHTS OF THE CAR FLICKERED AND THEN THE STEERING COLUMN LOCKED UP. I COULD BARELY MOVE THE WHEEL EVEN AFTER PULLING WITH MY WHOLE BODY. I AM AN ABLE BODIED 25 YEAR OLD MALE AND FOUND IT RIDICULOUS AND DANGEROUS THAT I COULD BARELY TURN THE CAR GOING 55 MPH WHILE USING ALL MY STRENGTH. I GOT OFF THE FREEWAY AFTER ALMOST EXHAUSTION. I THEN TURNED THE CAR OFF. RESTARTED IT AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. PER A SPECIAL POLICY #10183 THEY CHANGED A FEW SENSORS AND THAT WAS IT. THEN ON 1/20/12 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR WHEN THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED WHILE AT 65 MPH. LUCKILY SHE WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD SAFELY. I HAD TO GO PICK HER UP AND THEN ATTEMPT TO DRIVE THE CAR BACK WITH ITS MALFUNCTIONING STEERING. AGAIN SAME PROBLEM, STEERING WHEEL BECOMES ALMOST IMMOVABLE. THESE ALL NEED TO BE REPLACED. GM HAS BUILT A VERY FAULTY PRODUCT THAT WILL KILL SOMEONE...ITS JUST A MATTER OF TIME. THIS STEERING WHEEL IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. *TR | |
