Pontiac G6 Steering Safety Report | Apr 27, 2012
Reported on Apr 27, 2012
| MY PONTIAC G6 HAS DEVELOPED THE CLASSIC POWER STEERING FAILURE. GOING DOWN THE ROAD AT 35 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN AN ALARM CHIMES THREE TIMES, POWER STEERING IS DISPLAYED ON THE RADIO DISPLAY, THEN A CLICK IS HEARD IN THE DASH, THEN THE POWER STEERING FAILS COMPLETELY, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 AND 2006 PONTIAC G6, AND IN MY OPINION, A SAFETY HAZARD TO THE DRIVER, OCCUPANTS, AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. GM HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THIS PROBLEM AND WILL REPAIR DEFECTIVE VEHICLES FOR 10 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES. I CONTACTED GM, AND WAS TOLD NO COVERAGE WOULD APPLY DUE TO THE CAR HAVING 125,000 MILES. THEY SAY THE CAR CAN SAFELY BE OPERATED, BUT WITH GREATER EFFORT. MOST PEOPLE TODAY, INCLUDING MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, WILL PANIC AND NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO WHEN THE POWER STEERING FAILS. GM NEEDS TO REPAIR THESE CARS BEFORE MORE ACCIDENTS OR DEATHS OCCUR. YOUR SAFETY MAY BE AT RISK ! *TR | |
