| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2005 pontiac g6 gt: within the first year of ownership, we had the vehicle into the dealership twice for a leaking panoramic roof. the second time it leaked, the dash shorted out. then at about 36,000 miles we started hearing popping noises when steering at low speeds. at around 42,000 miles the popping noises got significantly worse. it was at this point, we decided to take the vehicle back to the dealership for service. the man at the service desk seemed to know right away what was wrong with the vehicle without even diagnosing it. he told us that he had seen this problem in a lot of g6s. i asked him if it was something to worry about and he said no. he told me it would cost $550 to fix it and that the cost would be on me as i was out of warranty on mileage. after i returned home i decided to do some surfing on the internet to see if anyone else was experiencing g6 steering issues. i found page after page of people experiencing similar steering issues. in fact, i noticed that the nhtsa was even investigating gm for g6 power steering failure affecting some 176k vehicles. frankly, this scared me to death! so much so, that the very next day i went down to the local honda dealership and traded in the g6 for a 2008 honda accord ex-l (5-star rating). i took it in the shorts on the trade-in, but i cannot tell you how happy i am to get rid of this nightmare! parting question: since when is ?power steering failure? not worthy of a recall. shame on gm! *tr |
