Pontiac G6 Steering Safety Report | Jan 05, 2012
Reported on Jan 05, 2012
| PURCHASED USED 2006 G6 IN MAY 2007. FIRST NOTICED CLUNKING AND POPPING NOISE IN STEERING A MONTH AFTER PURCHASE. LOCAL DEALERSHIP DID NOT HEAR ANY NOISES WHEN THEY CHECKED IT OVER! OVER THE 4 1/2 YEARS THAT WE HAVE OWNED THIS CAR, THE NOISES NEVER GO AWAY. STEERING SEEMS LOOSE AT TIMES. DRIVING HOME FROM WORK TWO DAYS AGO AT 70 MPH ON FOUR LANE INTERSTATE, THE CLUNKING NOISES GOT WORSE AND MY FRONT DRIVER'S TIRE FELL OFF MY CAR. I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR AND GET IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THANKFULLY, THERE WAS NO ONE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE OR NEAR ME WHEN MY TIRE WENT FLYING OFF. SURE WOULD BE NICE IF PONTIAC WOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE STEERING/SUSPENSION PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. HAVE READ FAR TOO MANY STORIES ABOUT SERIOUS INJURIES, WHICH I COULD HAVE CAUSED WITH MY G6. I JUST GOT LUCKY THERE WAS NO ONE AROUND ME WHEN IT HAPPENED. *TR | |
