Pontiac G6 Steering Safety Report | Nov 01, 2013
Reported on Nov 01, 2013
| THE STEERING WHEEL ON MY VEHICLE HAD COMPLETELY LOCKED UP WHILE I WAS TRYING TO TURN ON TO A BUSY HIGHWAY. I HAD TO DRIVE STRAIGHT ACROSS A FOUR-LANE HIGHWAY SO I COULD SAFELY STOP TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON SO THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD UNLOCK. I WAS TOLD ABOUT THE RECALL THAT GM HAD PUT OUT BACK IN 2010 BECAUSE OF THE EXACT SAME POWER STEERING ISSUES. AFTER BEING TOLD BY TWO DEALERSHIPS THAT MY CAR DID NOT FIT THE CRITERIA BECAUSE IT WAS ONLY SPECIFIC VIN NUMBERS. I THEN DECIDED TO CALL GMS PONTIAC CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE TO VOICE MY CONCERNS AND ASK WHY A VEHICLE THAT IS DOING THE SAME THING THEY RECALLED VEHICLES FOR CAN'T FALL UNDER THEIR RECALL AND SERVICE BULLETIN THEY ISSUED. AFTER TALKED TO SOMEONE FOR QUITE A WHILE AND CONTINUED TO BE TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. SO MY CONCERN IS THAT EVEN THOUGH MY SITUATION MAY HAVE NOT BEEN AS SEVERE AS OTHERS, IT COULD HAVE BEEN. AND WHEN I GO TO THE MANUFACTURER OF MY VEHICLE WITH A SAFETY CONCERN I THINK THEY NEED TO BE A LITTLE MORE CARING AND ACTUALLY TRY TO HELP. ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE!! | |
