Description of the problem | My parents purchased the car for me on march 1, 2013 with 97,629 miles on it. We purchased the extended warranty and i had the intermediate drive shaft replace july 9, 2014 because i was intermittently hearing a popping nose when i turned or back up while turning. It has pretty much done this the entire time after a few weeks i had purchased the car. Even after getting it replaced last july, it was quiet for a few weeks and then started again. I am always concerned daily that something will happen while i am driving and i have 3 daughters from ages 5-15 that are with me. I drive them to school 15 miles away and pick them up. I would have thought after the repair of the intermediate shaft the first time, it would have stopped but it has not. It is a growing anxiety issue for me and i am a single mom and cannot afford to buy another car. This website has had 37 posts alone of this same complaint! Http://www. Carcomplaints. Com/pontiac/g6/2008/steering/steering_makes_a_popping_noise_when_turning. Shtml this is definitely an issue with pontiac g6's and needs to be recalled and fixed properly! Now that my extended warranty is up, i don't have the $300+ dollars to get this fixed again! |
