Pontiac G6 Steering Safety Report | Jan 06, 2013
Reported on Jan 06, 2013
| I BOUGHT MY PONTIAC G6 2006 FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP IN DEC. 2011. I HAD SOME PULL IN THE STEERING WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT. I HAD MY CAR CHECK FOR ALIGNMENT ISSUES, THE ROTORS CHECK AND BRAKES CHECKED. ALL WERE OK. WAS TOLD BY MECHANIC IT WAS NOTHING TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT. 5 DAYS AGO MY STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING REAL BAD WHEN BRAKING. SUNDAY JAN. 6,2013 FOR THE FIRST TIME MY POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND STEERING WENT OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING . WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO STEER. LUCKILY MANAGED TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF CAR. I TURNED OFF MY CAR WAITED A MINUTE AND WHEN I TURNED BACK ON MY CAR I HAD MY STEERING BACK. I COULD OF HAD A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND I HAVE A TEENAGE DRIVER WHO ALSO DRIVES MY CAR. IT OCCURRED AGAIN ON MON JAN. 7,2013. STEERING WAS OK THEN JUST OUT OF NOWHERE STEERING STOPS WORKING AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. I CONTACTED GM DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT ON RECALL. AND THAT THEY ONLY HAVE POWER STEERING ASSIST COVERED UP TO 150,000 MILES. I NOTICED THERE WAS RECALL ON THE 2005 PONTIAC G6 POWER STEERING. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THERE ARE ALOT OF COMPLAINTS OVER THE SAME ISSUE I HAVE ON THE 2006 PONTIAC G6. I AM WONDERING WHY NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. *TR | |
