Pontiac G6 Steering Safety Report | June 01, 2011
Reported on June 01, 2011
| AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM A PREVIOUS OWNER, THE POWER STEERING WOULD LOCK ON ME AND I AM UNABLE TO STEER ANYMORE. THIS WOULD HAPPEN ANYWHERE FROM GOING 10MPH TO 70MPH. THE ONLY WAY THAT I COULD STEER AGAIN IS TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON AS I AM MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL TO UNLOCK IT. THANKFULLY I MANAGED TO PREVENT ANY ACCIDENTS BUT IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS. I TOOK THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS FIXED BUT FEW WEEKS LATER SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD BE DRIVING ON A MAIN ROAD AND RIGHT BEFORE I HAVE TO TURN IT LOCKS ON ME SO I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD TO UNLOCK IT. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT IT. I CANNOT AFFORD TO KEEP SPENDING MONEY TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH A G5 AND THEY DID A RECALL ON IT. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THE SAME PROBLEM IS HAPPENING TO G6 NOW AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I CALLED GM SEVERAL TIMES BUT THEY SAID BECAUSE THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM MY 10 YEAR POWER TRAIN WARRANTY WONT COVER IT AND THEREFORE THEY WONT EVEN TAKE A LOOK AT IT (UNLESS I PAY OUT OF POCKET). NEVER AGAIN WILL I BUY A GM CAR. *TR | |
