Pontiac G6 Steering Safety Report | Sept 09, 2011
Reported on Sept 09, 2011
| THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON IN THE RADIO. AFTER I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT, THE STEERING WORKING AGAIN BUT IT SOON FAILED AND WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS OF RESTARTING CAR TO GET IT TO WORK. IT SEEMS TO DO IT MORE WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT. IT NOW DOES IT FREQUENTLY AND THE CAR STEERS SO HARD WHEN IT HAPPENS, IT WOULD BE EASY TO LOOSE CONTROL AND CRASH. PONTIAC SAYS THIS IS NOT A SAFETY RECALL AND THEY WILL NOT HONOR WARRANTY ON MY CAR. NHTSA DID INVESTIGATE THIS UNDER ACTION NUMBER PE07023 BUT PONTIAC STILL STATES IT IS NOT A SAFETY PROBLEM. I DISAGREE AND FEEL PONTIAC SHOULD CORRECT THIS PRIOR TO AN ACCIDENT HAPPENING. *KB | |
