NHTSA Complaint #10190795 — 2005 PONTIAC G6

POWER STEERING FAILURE MULTIPLE TIMES. AGGRAVATED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TELLING ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE SYSTEM, EVEN AFTER BEING PROVIDED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLITIN PUT OUT BY GM. LAST FAILURE ALMOST RESULTED IN A CRASH INTO A MATTRESS STORE DUE TO FAILURE AT THE APEX OF A TURN.*AK UPDATE (10/13/08): THE POWER STEERING BECAME INOPERATIVE DURING A RIGHT HAND TURN, AS IF THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF. AT THAT POINT THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE BECAME ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. I WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETE MY TURN, HOWEVER I WAS ABLE TO "COAST" TO THE CURB AND OUT OF TRAFFIC. THE POWER STEER STEERING STAYED INACTIVE FOR MULTIPLE ON/OFF STARTS. THEN ONE OF THE STARTS IT STARTED TO WORK. THE POWER STEERING COLUMN / RACK WERE REPLACED WITH A RE-MANUFACTURED UNIT.
