Description of the problem | My pontiac g6 has been nothing but trouble since i got it. There is a violent shake in the steering wheel and pontiac does have open recalls for the issue i am having for inadequate support of the u-joints and steering shaft but my car was not manufactured in the state the recall was issued. I also periodically lose power steering while driving which is also another recall but again pontiac says my car isn't affected by the recall. I am scared to drive my car we have replaced pretty much the whole suspension and bought new tires still have the problem. When it does go out completely and it causes me to have a major crash i pray to god my kids are not in the car and that i don't die or hurt someone else in the process of trying to get the car stopped. I do a lot of driving for my job and the shake just gets worse and worse pontiac said they could set me up an appointment to have it fixed which i would have to pay for but i shouldn't have to. They should be responsible for fixing this issue just because my car was made in a different state doesn't mean that they used different parts or put it together a different way. The pontiac g6 is a hunk of junk i'll never buy another pontiac product in my life if this one doesn't kill me. I know i am not the only one who has this problem as i have seen countless threads discussing the topic on g6performance. Com. The shaking starts at about 40mph and the faster you go te worse it becomes. Please if anything at all can be done to help i can't afford to keep sinking money in to this car nor can i afford to get a new vehicle |
