NHTSA Complaint #10437791 — 2005 PONTIAC G6

I HAVE NOTICED THAT ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEIR 2005 AND 2006 G6 ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSISTS. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND I WAS TAKING THEM TO SCHOOL WHEN THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON. I COULD BARELY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I COULD NOT IMAGINE IF WE WERE ON THE MAIN ROAD AND I WAS GOING A LITTLE FASTER. I NOTICED THAT YOU DID AN INVESTIGATION AND CLOSED IT BACK IN 2007. WELL I BOUGHT MY G6 A YEAR AGO AND DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM OR ABOUT THE ADDITIONAL 70,000 MILE WARRANTY FOR SYSTEM FAILURES EVEN AFTER RUNNING A CARFAX REPORT. THIS IS NOT AN EARLY LIFE PROBLEM AS MY G6 HAS 114,500 MILES ON IT. THIS WAS VERY SCARY. I THINK THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT GM NEEDS TO FIX WITH A RECALL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IT WOULD BE DIFFERENT IF THIS WAS A CHEAP PROBLEM TO FIX, BUT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT $800 TO $1,000 TO FIX. THAT IS RIDICULOUS. *KB
