| 2008 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | APPROACHING A BUSY INTERSECTION, MY PONTIAC G5'S BRAKES FAILED TO WORK. I COULD TELL THE HYDRAULICS SYSTEMS WAS WORKING AS I COULD HEAR METAL ON METAL BUT IT DID NOTHING TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE'S CDR SHOWED THE VEHICLE ACCELERATING AT FULL THROTTLE ALTHOUGH I KNOW MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AS EVIDENCED BY THE METAL ON METAL SOUND. PLUS A WITNESS SAW SMOKE COMING FROM MY VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO TURN PRIOR TO GOING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND AIMED FOR A FIRE HYDRANT TO TRY TO SLOW DOWN. IT DID NOTHING TO SLOW THE VEHICLE, I TRIED TO TURN RIGHT TO JOIN THE TRAFFIC DIRECTION, BUT THE STEERING DID NOT WORK. I THEN HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TR |
| 2008 | SUSPENSION | THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE STEERING IN THESE CARS. STEERING WILL STILL LOCK UP, AT LOW VEHICLE SPEEDS. THE RECALL TWO YEARS AGO HAS NOT HELPED THE SITUATION. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE STEERING COLUMN AND STEERING RACK WITH THESE CARS. SUSPENSION/STEERING CLUNKS AND RATTLES LIKE IT IS ABOUT TO FALL OFF! VERY UNSAFE! *JS |
