NHTSA complaint: 2006 PONTIAC G6 — STEERING
ON 11/26/2013, AFTER I MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN I HEARD A POP AND LOST POWER STEERING. I WAS TURNING INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION WITH 3 LANES IN EITHER DIRECTION, WHEN MY CAR LOST POWER STEERING AND I ENDED UP IN THE FAR LEFT HAND LANE WHEN I SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE RIGHT LANE. THE CARS BESIDE AND BEHIND ME (TRAVELING 40MPH) WERE ABLE TO SWERVE AROUND ME AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A NEARBY PARKING LOT ONLY RUNNING OVER A CURB. MY VEHICLE WAS/STILL IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE POWER STEERING MODULE POWER LOSS RECALL. NO ERROR CODES WERE FOUND AFTER I HAD IT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP LOCALLY AND I WAS CHARGED $400 FOR AN IGNITION SWITCH THAT WAS "LOOSE" TO SEE IF THAT FIXED THE PROBLEM. ON 10/9/2014, THE SAME THING HAPPENED WHEN I WAS TRAVELING 50 MPH WITH MY INFANT SON IN THE CAR AND WE ALMOST CRASHED AS I WENT OFF THE ROAD. I HEARD A LOUD POP AND ALL POWER STEERING ASSIST WAS LOST. *TR
