Pontiac G6 Steering Safety Report | Jan 24, 2012
Reported on Jan 24, 2012
| I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE CROWDED INTERSTATE, HEADED HOME FROM WORK AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. I COULD NOT TURN TO GET TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND COULD NOT STEER SO I HAD TO STOP. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED IT AND LUCKILY THE STEERING CAME BACK. I WAS PAST BY SEMI TRUCKS HONKING AND ONE SLAMMING ON HIS BRAKES BEHIND ME TO KEEP FROM HITTING ME. ONCE I DROVE THE CAR HOME I TOLD MY DAD WHAT HAPPENED AND HE CHECKED THE CAR. HE REALIZED THAT THE CAR HAD ELECTRIC STEERING. HE DECIDED TO LET THE DEALER LOOK AT IT. THEY OFFERED NO EXPLANATION BUT RATHER A REPAIR COST OF $1,200.00. HE THEN LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THERE WERE HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR CASES BY JUST GOOGLING PONTIAC G6 STEERING PROBLEMS . THIS IS WHEN HE DECIDED THAT I NEEDED TO FILE A PUBLIC SAFETY COMPLAINT. *KB | |
