Pontiac G6 Steering Safety Report | Jan 30, 2014
Reported on Jan 30, 2014
| I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, I JUST GOT ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE MESSAGE ON THE RADIO SCREEN POPPED UP AND SAID POWER STEERING FAILURE. I COULD NOT MOVE MY STEERING WHEEL, IT WAS VERY HARD TO TRY AND GET MY CAR OFF TO THE SHOULDER. IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING ANY FASTER OR IN THE LEFT OR MIDDLE LANES ON THE HIGHWAY, I WOULD DEFINITELY HAVE BEEN HIT OR HIT SOMEONE. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE, GM HAS TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANYT BUT MY QUESTION IS IF I'M NOT THE FIRST PERSON TO REPORT THIS ISSUE AND THERE HAS BEEN MANY OUT THERE LIKE THIS, WHY HAVEN'T THEY SENT OUT NOTICES TO INFORM THE DRIVER OF THIS ISSUE? SINCE THEN, MY POWER STEERING HAS WENT OUT TWICE AND SINCE GM WON'T COVER COSTS TO REPAIR THIS MANUFACTURER DEFECT, I AM FORCED TO TRADE IN MY CAR OR SELL IT. I DON'T THINK I WILL BE BUYING ANOTHER GM CAR BECAUSE OF THE LAX ATTITUDE THEY HAVE TOWARDS THIS ISSUE. | |
