NHTSA Complaint #10190827 — 2005 PONTIAC G6

ABOUT 7 MONTHS AGO I NOTICED A SIGNIFICANT DECREASE IN POWER ASSISTANCE FOR THE STEERING WHILE I WAS PARALLEL PARKING. I HAD TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT LOOKED AT ,AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THEY DID NOTHING. THIS CONTINUED FOR ANOTHER 5 MONTHS AND IT PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE. THEN THE STARTER STOPPED FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, AND THE STARTER GOT REPLACED. THEN THE HEADLIGHTS AND HEAT/ AIR CONDITIONING BLOWER BEGAN DIMMING WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP ALONG WITH THE POWER ASSISTANCE GOING AWAY. SO I TOOK IT THE DEALER, AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP. THIS TIME THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED. THOUGHT THAT WOULD DO IT, BUT A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER THE POWER STEERING PROBLEM CAME BACK. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. SO THEY GAVE ME A DATA LOGGERHEAD RECORD THE PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING, SO IT PUSHED THE BUTTON AND RECORDED THE PROBLEM. TOOK THE DATA LOGGER BACK, AND I HAVEN'T HEARD BACK FROM THEM SINCE LAST WEEK WHEN I TOOK IT BACK. THIS CAR WAS A NIGHTMARE AND UNSAFE CAR TO DRIVE.*AK
