Description of the problem | As i was driving on a main road at about 55mph, a "power steering" message displayed on the driver information center and a chime sounded. Steering control was then manual and i had to exert great force to steer at lower speeds. I figured right away that my power steering had gone out since i could not turn easily. I immediately chose to pull over to avoid putting myself or anyone else at harm. Since then, the power steering goes in and out. It has happened at all speeds (parked at 0mpgh, at 70mph, at 25mph, etc.). It is not safe and i am hoping nhtsa can help me get this resolved. I have taken extremely good care of my vehicle which has 120,000 miles on it and have a perfect driving record. I searched for a recall via my vin # only to find out that gm isn't recalling the power steering on my vehicle. I can't understand why since there is a recall for just about every other type of pontiac g6, including 2007. Where do i go from here? I don't have the money to get this fixed right now and don't want to put myself or others at harm. |
