Description of the problem | I own a 2007 pontiac g6. I was driving a couple weeks and my power steering light came across my radio with beeps, with the steering wheel shaking when in stationary and driving and then after a few minutes i would suddenly loose power steering. I would pull over and turn car off and turn back on and it would work for a few minutes then once again suddenly loose power steering. The last 5 days the power steering goes out immediately and i have no power steering. Due to the sudden loss of power steering at any driving speed, i would still have some ability to turn the wheel but it is not easy and makes things more dangerous while traveling or during a turn. When i took my car to mechanic, my car was diagnosed : torque sensor in the eps system. I started doing some research to see if this was a common problem. I came across a recall for the sudden loss of electric power steering in a 2007 pontiac g6 which was dated february 4,2015. I was reading the recall which was described as to what my problem is with my car. The recall nhtsa campaign number: 15v064000 i also came across a special coverage adjustment -loss of electric power steering. My care was not included in the gm torque sensor assembly recall. This is obviously a serious defect, when there is a recall and a special coverage. Gm told me they would not fix my car because it was not in recall and also told me that because the special coverage was expired they would not pay for repairs. I find this very disturbing, when at one point gm was fixing this problem in 2007-2010 pontiac g6. Gm told me i should have got a letter about this special warranty. I never received this letter, or i would have got this completed at that time. I feel this problem needs to be relooked at to keep people safe on the roads.. |
