| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My 2006 pontiac g6 was involved in an accident on the interstate. traffic had slowed down to about 25 mph and the vehicle behind did not notice and struck my vehicle at about 60 mph. this force pushed my vehicle into the vehicle in front of it. the driver was wearing their seat belt and shoulder strap at the time. during this incident, the steering wheel along with the main shaft came free of the column and was sitting in the driver's lap when the vehicle came to a stop. the airbags did not deploy and the wiring harness was still attached to the steering wheel. my main concern was that, with the steering wheel in the driver's lap with the shaft sticking straight up, the driver could have been impaled with the shaft through their jaw and up through their skull if the airbag had deployed at that time. i do have a digital picture of the steering wheel placed loosely back into the column if you need to see it. *jb |
