2007 PONTIAC G5 Complaints

POWER STEERING LIGHT TURNED ON DASH AND POWER STEERING WENT OUT. SON WAS DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT SO SPEED WAS LOW AND HE WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPOT. IF THIS HAD BEEN AT A HIGHER SPEED, WHO KNOWS WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. THE CAR HAS JUST OVER 36,000 MILES ON IT. SON IS SUPPOSE TO GET AN APPT TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE. HAPPENED AGAIN LAST WEEK. IT SEEMS THERE HAVE BEEN QUITE A FEW COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT I HAVE NOT HEARD ABOUT A RECALL OR INVESTIGATION. SEEMS VERY COINCIDENTAL THAT THE FORD COBALT, WHICH IS BASICALLY THE SAME CAR AS THE G5, IS BEING INVESTIGATED FOR THE SAME ISSUES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G5. WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 45 MPH, SHE NOTICED THAT THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE CONTROL PANEL. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING MOTOR CAUSED THE FAILURE TO OCCUR. THERE WERE NO REPAIRS MADE TO THE VEHICLE TO DATE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 42,000.

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (PONTIAC G5 2007) STOPS WORKING WHILE DRIVING CAR. IT WILL OCCUR A RANDOM INTERVALS AND THE ONLY THING YOU CAN DO IS TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF THE CAR AND THEN RESTART THE ENGINE. OF COURSE THIS IS EXTREMELY HARD AND DANGEROUS TO DO SINCE YOU HAVE HARDLY ANY CONTROL OF THE CAR. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF SEEKING REPAIRS. *TR

I NEED THIS INVESTIGATED PLEASE !!!!!!!I HAVE A 2007 PONTIAC G5 AND HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING ERRATICALLY. THE RPM WILL JUMP UP WHILE I'M DRIVING AT A CONSTANT SPEED. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A FEW MONTHS. TWO WEEKS AGO I WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND IT SPEED UP AND RED LINED AND LURCHED INTO THE INTERSECTION. THANK GOD EVERYONE AVOIDED EACH OTHER. IT WAS DURING RUSH HOUR !!! IT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS MORNING AND I WAS ALMOST T-BONED BY A SEMI !!! I HAVE HAD IT CHECKED AND NO ONE HAS FOUND ANYTHING!! THERE WAS A MECHANIC THAT HAD IT CUT UP SOME WHEN HE DROVE IT BUT SAID IT WAS NOT DOING ENOUGH TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON AND IT IS RANDOM DOING IT. WE HAVE TRIED PUTTING IT IN THE SAME SITUATIONS TO GET IT TO DO IT SO THE MECHANICS CAN SEE IT FOR THEMSELVES,BUT HAVE HAD NO LUCK !!!!! I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS AND WANT SOMETHING DONE !!!!! IF MORE OF THESE CARS ARE DOING THIS SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE !!!! IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS INVESTIGATED PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *TR

POWER STEERING PROBLEM IN PONTIAC G5 - DRIVES NORMAL DOWN THE HIGHWAY, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STARTS SHAKING VIOLENTLY (STEERING WHEEL STARTS SHAKING BACK AND FORTH). *TR

THIS PROBLEM IS A SAFETY HAZARD, I AM TIRED AS ?!@#$% GOING THROUGH THIS RECURRING PROBLEM EVERY FEW WEEKS. I HAVE TO PUT MY CAR IN THE SHOP OR GONE TO THE CAR DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASE MY CAR IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS AT LEAST 8-10 TIMES. ALTHOUGH, THE CAR GETS TEMPORARY FIX, THIS CONCERN IS A PAIN AND REALLY AGGRAVATED. ALSO, CONSIDERING THE DEALERSHIPS USES POOR QUALITY MATERIALS OR SHALL I SAY CHEAP PARTS I AM RIGHT BACK AT SQUARE ONE. THE POWER STEERING LIGHTS COMES ON AND THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT REPEATEDLY AND THE SERVICES TECH'S AND SERVICES MANAGERS TELLS YOU TO PUT YOUR LIFE AT RISK BY DRIVING THE VEHICLE TO THEM SO THEY CAN SEE THAT THE POWERING STEERING IS OUT AND THEN MAKE THE DECISION THAT THE POWERING STEERING COLUMN HAS GONE OUT. ALTHOUGH THIS IS WHAT I AM TELLING THEM OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I GUESS I SHOULD BE HAPPY THAT THE CONCERN IS BEING FIXED RIGHT? WELL HELL NO BECAUSE, I AM PAYING FOR EXTENDED SERVICES TO COVER CONCERNS LIKE THIS. I HAVE TO PUT MY LIFE IN JEOPARDY BY DRIVING A VEHICLE WITHOUT POWER STEERING BARELY ABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL AND THAT SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!! I AM MAD AS?!@#$% AND I WANT SOMEONE TO UNDERSTAND WHERE I AM COMING FROM. I DON'T EVEN WANT THE CAR NO MORE BUT I AM STUCK! PONTIAC G5'S ARE A NICE LITTLE CAR FOR A ONE PERSON BUT IF I COULD GET OUT OF THIS CAR I WOULD! *TR
