| 2006 | STEERING | I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 55MPH ON A HIGHWAY ON MY WAY TO WORK. THE DISPLAY HAD INDICATED "POWER STEERING" ABOUT 15 MILES BEFORE, WHEN I LEFT FOR WORK. AS I ROUNDED A CORNER OF THE HIGHWAY MY STEERING SEEMED TO LOOSEN UP COMPLETELY, THE WHEEL TURNED BACK AND FORTH, I DROVE INTO THE ONCOMING LANE AND THEN THE SHOULDER, AND ALMOST INTO A DITCH; I COULD NOT REGAIN CONTROL OF THE WHEEL. AFTER ABOUT 30SEC OF THIS BEHAVIOR, THE STEERING CALMED DOWN AND LOCKED UP SO THAT I COULD NOT TURN. LUCKILY I WAS THEN ABOUT THREE BLOCKS FROM WORK BECAUSE BY THE TIME I PARKED I COULD NOT TURN AT ALL. IT IS IN THE SHOP RIGHT NOW, HOPEFULLY IT WONT BREAK ME TO FIX. UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE ABOUT 70,000 MILES NOW AND NO WARRANTY! WITH THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS I'VE READ AND THE DANGER THAT THIS PUTS PEOPLE IN (NOT TO MENTION THE FINANCIAL HARD SHIP) THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AND SOMEBODY NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY; SOMEBODY'S GOING TO GET HURT. *TR |
| 2006 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | PURCHASED A 2006 PONTIAC G6 GTP, I HAVE RECENTLY CAUSED MANY CLOSE CALLS OF HARMING PEOPLES LIFE DUE TO THE FAILURE OF SHIFTING OF MY TRANSMISSION IN A FAIRLY NEW VEHICLE. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND DOES NOT GO INTO GEAR SOMETIMES AND WHEN ENTERING THE HIGHWAY EVERYDAY IS A CHALLENGE IF I WILL MAKE IT OR NOT. THE VEHICLE DECIDES IF IT WILL GO OR NOT AND I DON'T BELIEVE THIS 2006 VEHICLE SHOULD BE ON THE ROAD OR OTHERS TO BE SOLD UNTIL THIS ONGOING PROBLEM ACROSS THE NATION TO BE SOLVED. IT HAPPENS AT 65,000 MILES ON ALL VEHICLES THAT HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE. *TR |
