Pontiac G6 Steering Safety Report | Oct 28, 2013
Reported on Oct 28, 2013
| I WAS DRIVING DOWN WATT AVENUE AND SUDDENLY MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I WAS UNABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE WHEEL BUT THANKFULLY I WAS JUST GOING STRAIGHT AND NOT TURNING. THE PROBLEM HAS SINCE GONE AWAY BUT THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS INCIDENT THAT OCCURRED AND I SUSPECT IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I HAVE CONDUCTED RESEARCH ONLINE TO SEE IF THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER DRIVERS, DRIVING A PONTIAC VEHICLE AND IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING WITHIN THIS VEHICLE AND I URGE THE NHTSA TO FOLLOW UP AGAIN ON THEIR INVESTIGATION A FEW YEARS AGO AND DEMAND A RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING FOR THIS MODEL AND YEAR. CONSIDERING THE POWER STEERING WAS BUILT INTO THE TRANSMISSION, THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT CAN'T JUST BE FIXED BY ADDING POWER STEERING FLUID. IF THE NHTSA DOES NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM AND ISSUE A POSSIBLE RECALL, THERE WILL BE MORE ACCIDENTS AND SOME MAY END UP FATAL. *TR | |
