NHTSA Complaint #10362336 — 2006 PONTIAC G6

WHILE DRIVING MY G-6 PONTIAC TO WORK, I TRIED TO TURN THE CORNER, & I HAD A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST, & WENT INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC BECAUSE I COULDN'T TURN THE WHEEL HARD ENOUGH. I RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL FROM PONTIAC WHICH STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING ASSIST IS COVERED UNDER A SPECIAL COVERAGE PROGRAM. MY CAR DID NOT QUALIFY BECAUSE IT HAD TO MANY MILES. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD & SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL INSTEAD. YOU HAVE ISSUED A RECALL ON THE 2007-2009 MAZDA3 AND MAZDA5 POWER STEERING VOLUNTARY SAFETY RECALL . HAVE YOU NOT GOTTEN ENOUGH COMPLAINTS ON THE G6 PONTIAC, OR DOES IT TAKE A LOT OF ACCIDENTS OR LOSS OF LIFE FOR A DIFFERENT VEHICLE TO GET THE SAME RECALL. I HAD TO SPEND $708.00 TO GET MY VEHICLE FIXED. I SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO PUT OUT THAT KIND OF MONEY. I DIDN'T GET ANY SATISFACTION FROM GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION, BUT I DO HOPE YOU CONSIDER ALSO MAKING THE G-6 PROBLEM A TOTAL RECALL. *TR
