NHTSA Complaint #10444723 — 2005 PONTIAC G6

MY SON WAS TRAVELING HOME AND DISCOVERED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME HARD TO CONTROL. DUE TO RECENT SHOULDER SURGERY IN DECEMBER, IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT FOR HIM TO CONTROL THE STEERING WHEEL. IN AN EFFORT TO GAIN CONTROL, HE PLACED PRESSURE ON THE SHOULDER AND SAFELY GOT THE CAR OFF OF THE ROAD. DUE TO THE PRESSURE ON THE SHOULDER, HE WAS TAKEN TO THE ORTHOPEDIC CENTER TO HAVE HIS SHOULDER EXAMINED FOR ADDITIONAL INJURY. AFTER REVIEWING OVER 132 COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND THE RECALLS THAT WERE MADE FOR THE 2005 PONTIAC G5 BUT NOT THE 2005 PONTIAC G6. MY WIFE AND I ARE VERY DISTRAUGHT THAT THE G6 WAS NOT PLACED ON THE RECALL LIST AND THAT OUR SON WAS SO CLOSE TO LOSING HIS LIFE. WE PURCHASED THE PRE-OWNED VEHICLE IN MAY 2011. SINCE THERE HAS BEEN SO MANY COMPLAINTS AND CLOSE ENCOUNTER WITH BODILY INJURIES AND/OR DEATH, WE HAVE ALSO CONTACTED THE GM MANUFACTURE TO DETERMINE WHY THE PONTIAC G6 WAS NOT PLACED ON THE RECALL LIST. WE ONLY WANT THIS PROBLEM REPAIRED TO ENSURE THAT OUR SON IS DRIVING A SAFE VEHICLE AND THEREFORE ARE REQUESTING AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER. *TR
