NHTSA complaint: 2006 PONTIAC G6 — STEERING
RENTED THIS G6 2006 FROM ENTERPRISE RENTAL CO. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THIS CAR WHILE HERS WAS IN THE SHOP FOR REPAIRS. SHE WAS DRIVING ON A WINDING ROAD AND THE STEERING WENT OUT. SHE LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR WHILE TRYING TO TURN THROUGH A CURVE. THE CAR FLIPPED INTO THE AIR AND ROLLED 3 TIMES BEFORE LANDING IN A DITCH. AS A RESULT SHE HAD 2 COLLAPSED LUNGS 20 BROKEN RIBS, BOTH SCAPULES WERE SHATTERED AND BROKE COLLAR BONE FROM THE SEAT BELT AND A SNAPPED RIGHT ARM. DUE TO THE LACK OF INFORMATION ON THE SO CALLED BLACK BOX THE CAUSE WAS BLAMED ON MY WIFE'S DRIVING. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED, AS I ALMOST LOST MY WIFE. *TR UPDATE: THE CAR WAS GETTING FASTER GOING DOWNHILL. SHE TRIED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AS HARD AS SHE COULD BUT COULDN'T. THE CAR IS BEING HELD. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS ACTING UP THE NIGHT BEFORE THE CRASH.
