Pontiac G6 Steering Safety Report | Jan 11, 2012
Reported on Jan 11, 2012
| I WAS TURNING MY 07 PONTIAC G6 GOING APPROXIMATELY 10-15 MPH AND THE WHOLE STEERING SYSTEM LOCKED UP, THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS IN THE OTHER LANE WHILE TURNING SINCE MY TURN NOW HAD TO BE WIDE. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE DISPLAY SAID POWER STEERING , I PULLED CAR OVER TO THE SIDE AND TURNED HAZARD LIGHTS ON. I MADE A PHONE CALL TO MY BROTHER WHO TOLD ME TO TRY TO GET TO THE NEAREST PARKING LOT, I WAS EXTREMELY UPSET AT THIS TIME AS EVEN DRIVING STRAIGHT TO THE NEAREST LOT WAS HARD FOR ME TO CONTROL AT A LOW SPEED. I MADE IT AND PHYSICALLY COULD NOT TURN CAR INTO A SPOT. MY BROTHER CAME TO PICK ME UP. THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF FOR ABOUT A HALF HOUR, WHEN HE RESTARTED THE CAR THE POWER STEERING SEEMED TO WORK AGAIN, AS I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE HOME, HE DROVE IT HOME FOR ME WHICH WAS ABOUT A HALF HOUR AWAY. TURNING TO THE RIGHT FEELS LIKE IT WANTS TO GIVE OUT AGAIN. I CONTACTED GM PONTIAC WHO SAID TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE INSPECTED. TODAY I TOOK IN AND WAITING FOR A CALL BACK FROM THE SERVICE CENTER. I HAVE READ MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS REGARDING SAME ISSUE AND I AM TRULY AFRAID TO DRIVE CAR AS THIS IS BOUND TO HAPPEN AGAIN, I HAVE 3 CHILDREN THAT I WILL NOT PUT IN CAR NOW UNTIL SOMETHING IS DONE. GM NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT THAT THEY MADE. AS OF RIGHT NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME NO RECALL ON THIS YEAR AND MODEL. SERVICE PERSON AT THE DEALER SAID SOME VIN# ARE INCLUDED IN THE OTHER MODEL/YEAR RECALLS HE WOULD HAVE TO CHECK MINE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE LIVES ARE LOST DUE TO THIS. I PAID MY CAR OFF UPFRONT WHEN I PURCHASED IT AND DO NOT FEEL THE NEED TO PAY FOR IT AGAIN. ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANKS. *TR | |
