Pontiac G6 Steering Safety Report | Oct 19, 2012
Reported on Oct 19, 2012
| STEERING COLUMN HAS LOCKED UP THREE TIMES WHILE TURNING INTO PARKING PLACES. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I LOSE TOTAL CONTROL OF MY STEERING ABILITY. THE MESSAGE SCREEN SAYS POWER STEERING FAILURE AND THE CAR NOTIFIES ME WITH A SIGNALING SOUND THEN THE YELLOW SERVICE LIGHT COMES ON WITH THE WRENCH. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AFTER MANUALLY MANIPULATING THE STEERING WHEEL AS MUCH AS I CAN INTO PLACE IN THE PARKING LOCATION. THEN WHEN I START THE CAR BACK UP THE POWER STEERING WORKS, THE INDICATORS ARE OFF AND THE CAR DRIVES FINE. I DO CHECK POWER STEERING FLUID LEVELS AND THIS HAS NEVER BEEN A FACTOR AS THE FLUID LEVELS WERE ADEQUATE. I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT SIMILAR ISSUES BUT LUCKILY MINE HAS NOT RESULTED IN A MAJORS INCIDENCE SO FAR. *TR | |
