• 12/29/2016· STEERING

  MY CAR HAD A PREVIOUS RECALL OF POWER STEERING PROBLEMS, AND THAT RECALL WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED IN EARLY 2014. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN OCTOBER 2015, NOW A LITTLE LATER THAN A YEAR, I HAVE THE EXACT PROBLEMS OF THE RECALL. WHICH IS "YOUR VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH EPS MAY EXPERIENCE A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST THAT COULD OCCUR AT ANY TIME WHILE DRIVING. IF THE POWER STEERING ASSIST IS LOST, A MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED ON THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER AND A CHIME SOUNDS TO INFORM THE DRIVER. STEERING CONTROL CAN BE MAINTAINED, AS THE VEHICLE WILL REVERT TO A MANUAL STEERING MODE, BUT WOULD REQUIRE GREATER DRIVER EFFORT AT LOW VEHICLE SPEEDS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN AN INCREASED RISK OF A CRASH.". MY CAR HAS THESE EXACT ISSUES EVEN THOUGH IT HAD BEEN "FIXED 2 YEARS AGO". I BELIEVE MY CAR WAS NEVER ACTUALLY FIXED IN A CORRECT WAY, OTHERWISE I WOULDN'T BE IN SAFETY HAZARD TRYING TO DRIVE A CAR WHOSE POWER STEERING LOCKS UP WHEN DRIVING. NOW I AM BEING FORCED TO ACTUALLY GET IT FIXED FROM A GM DEALERSHIP OUT OF POCKET. THIS POWER STEERING PROBLEM SHOULD BE FIXED FREE OF CHARGE, BECAUSE IF IT WAS ACTUALLY "FIXED" 2 YEARS AGO I WOULDN'T HAVE THIS ISSUE AND I AM NO BEING FORCED TO PAY $575 TO DRIVE MY CAR SAFELY. AS IT SHOULD ALREADY BE A SAFE CAR TO DRIVE IN AS GM ADVERTISES. *TR

  ON DECEMBER 23, 2009 THE POWER STEERING LIGHT FLASHED ON THE INFORMATION CENTER. NOT LONG AFTER, THE POWER STEERING FAILED TO WORK. THE POWER STEERING FAILED AS WE WERE MAKING A TURN, AND IT CAUSED US TO NEARLY HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. WE PULLED INTO THE NEAREST PARKING LOT, TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, AND THEN RESTARTED THE CAR. WHEN WE RESTARTED THE CAR, THE POWER STEERING BEGAN TO WORK AGAIN; HOWEVER, THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON ANOTHER TWO TIMES THAT DAY. SINCE THEN, WE HAVE PARKED OUR VEHICLE, AND HAVE NOT DROVE IT SINCE. WE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM, AND SOME OF THOSE COMPLAINTS REPORTED THE POWER STEERING LOSS TO CAUSE ACCIDENTS. IT WOULD BE A SHAME TO HAVE ONE OR MULTIPLE DEATHS OVER THIS ISSUE, AND IT IS A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE REMEDIED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. UPON RESEARCHING YOUR WEBSITE, WE FOUND A NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE07023 FOR A DEFECT INVESTIGATION PERTAINING TO THIS PROBLEM DUE TO AN INSUFFICIENT CRIMP IN THE STEERING COLUMN, BUT IT ONLY COVERED THE 2005 MODEL, NOT THE 2006. ABOUT THE BEGINNING OF 2009, THE RACK AND PINION WAS REPLACED, AND LATER A LUBRICATION UNIT WAS ADDED SOON AFTER THAT REPAIR. HOWEVER, SINCE THE POWER STEERING BECAME FAULTY, WE HAVE NOT MADE AN CURRENT REPAIRS. *TR

• 12/27/2025· STEERING,SUSPENSION,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  The electronic stability control has failed, due to sway bar links are worn out and causing wheels to vigorously wobble causing the Eps input circuit to shut down the system to avoid overloading the circuit and burning up the module , I believe the recall hasn't been fixed , Can you please consider the issue as dangerous and repair my car ... I am not trying to say this but I am homeless and dependent on the car for shelter as well as transportation... Please note don't use last statement to show sympathy on me ... I am doing ok today, Thank you, have a blessed day

I WAS SENT NOTICES FOR RECALLS TO THE CAR FOR "BRAKE LAMP MALFUNCTION" AND "TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE FRACTURE". ON DEC 15, 2014 WHILE DRIVING ON THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE FROM KISSIMMEE, FL TO DOWN TOWN ORLANDO, THE POWER STEERING IN MY CAR FAILED! THE ALARM WENT OFF AND THEN THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND TOLD THEM THAT THE CAR'S POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND THEN ASK THEM WHY I DID NOT GET A NOTICE OF THE RECALL BUT FOUND IT ON THE INTERNET; THEY TOLD ME MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED BECAUSE THE VIN NUMBER WAS NOT IN THE RECALL. THEY FIXED THE OTHER RECALL ITEMS BUT REFUSED TO EVEN CHECK MY CAR'S POWER STEERING. I CALLED GMC DIRECT AND SPOKE TO [XXX] (QUALITY CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE) DIRECTOR. SHE PASSED MY CONCERN ONTO ANOTHER DEPT. THEY CALLED AND TOLD ME THAT GMC WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME. THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT POWER STEERING HAS FAILED IN THE 2006 G6 BUT THAT SINCE MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT ON THEIR LIST THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME. I AM DRIVING A POTENTIAL DEATH TRAP. I AM UNEMPLOYED LOOKING FOR A JOB AND NEED MY CAR. I CANNOT AFFORD AN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE OF WHAT COULD COST $1500.00 TO REPAIR AN ERROR ON GMC'S SIDE. MORE PEOPLE ARE AT RISK IN THE 2006 G6 AND GMC NEEDS TO RECALL ALL CARS WITH POWER STEERING FAILURES. BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED BY THEIR LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY.
