Pontiac G6 Steering Safety Report | Apr 11, 2012
Reported on Apr 11, 2012
| WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON, THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE POWER STEERING WOULD NOT WORK. I WOULD TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT AND IT WOULD BE FINE, BUT ONCE I WOULD GET GOING IT WOULD QUIT WORKING AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK SINCE 4/11/12. IT IS GETTING MORE AND MORE DANGEROUS. WITHOUT ANY WARNING, AS I'M DRIVING THE POWER STEERING JUST GOES OUT. I HAVE CONTACTED GM REGARDING THIS AND THEY TELL ME THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.MY BREAK LIGHTS ALSO STAY ON IF THE BREAK IS NOT PUSHED DOWN AND WHEN YOU PRESS THE BREAK PEDAL DOWN THE BREAK LIGHTS GO OFF. MORE RECENTLY, WHEN SOMEONE SITS IN MY PASSENGER SEAT THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON. I CONTACTED GM AGAIN AND AGAIN THEY TOLD ME THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT AFFECTED AND NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS. MY CAR IS AFFECTED, BECAUSE I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I LIVE IN THE DFW AREA AND THE BREAK LIGHT ISSUE AND THE POWER STEERING ISSUE ARE CAUSING HUGE PROBLEMS FOR ME. IT IS TERRIFYING EACH TIME I HAVE TO GO ANYWHERE. AT THE DROP OF A HAT THE POWER STEERING JUST QUITS. GM DOES NOT SEE THIS AS AN ISSUE AND I AM REPEATEDLY GIVEN THE BRUSH OFF. | |
