MY 2007 PONTIAC LOST POWER STEERING AND I COULDN'T TURN THE WHEEL AND HIT A BANK. GM HAD A INDEPENDENT PERSON LOOK AT IT. THEN A GM REP LOOKED AT THE REPORT AND SAID IT WASN'T THEIR FAULT. I ASK WHAT KIND OF EDUCATION SHE HAD AND SHE SAID THAT DIDN'T MATTER. THEY LOOKED AT THE CAR FOR 4 HOURS AND NO MILEAGE. *TR

THE POWER STEERING FAILURE LIGHT COMES ON AS WELL AS ALL THE OTHER WARNING LIGHTS AND GAUGES QUIT WORKING WHILE DRIVING WHICH MAKES IT A SAFETY CONCERN. WE HAVE RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM GM THAT THIS VEHICLE MIGHT HAVE A RECALL BECAUSE OF THE STEERING FAILURE BUT HAVE BEEN TOLD BY OUR PONTIAC DEALER AND GM THAT IT DOES NOT. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH FOR THIS ISSUE. FIRST TIME, THE DEALER SAID THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING. WITHIN A HALF HOUR OF LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP, THE CAR WAS BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ECM AND AFTER A FEW WEEKS THE ISSUE HAS RETURNED AND HAS BEEN A THE DEALER FOR A WEEK BUT THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIND PROBLEMS AND SEEM TO HAVE GIVEN UP. HAVE TALKED TO GM CUSTOMER SERVICE DURING THIS WHOLE TIME. *TR

WE HAVE A 2007 PONTIAC G5 URAD WITH 32000 MILES ON IT, WE BOUGHT IT NEW. IN FEB 2010 MY SON WAS DRIVING TO SCHOOL AND AS HE WENT AROUND A SHARP BEND IN THE ROAD, HE STATED HE FELT THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR SLIDING INTO GUARD RAILS. THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES SINCE, THEN WE GET A RECALL FROM PONTIAC ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM . I TOLD THEM ABOUT IT , THEY HAD A INDEPENDENT INSPECTOR LOOK AT IT AND A GIRL NAMED BRANDY CALLED AND SAID IT WAS HER DECISION NOT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I ASKED WHAT HER QUALIFICATIONS WERE AND SHE SAID IT DIDN'T MATTER WHAT HER EDUCATION WAS. *TR
