PONTIAC Complaints

WHILE VEHICLE IS ON AND OPERATING AT SPEEDS OF 5 MPH TO 65 MPH THE POWER STEERING WILL COMPLETELY GO OUT MAKING CONTROL OF THE CAR MANUALLY. ONCE I AM ABLE TO REGAIN POSITIVE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE I AM ABLE TO PUT INTO PARK TURN OFF IGNITION. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE THE POWER STEERING IS ENGAGED BACK TO COMPLETE NORMAL AS IF THERE WAS NEVER A PROBLEM. AGAIN I START UP THE VEHICLE AND START OPERATING IT DRIVING TO MY DESTINATION AND OUT OF NOWHERE WHILE IN MOTION THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT SENDING THE VEHICLE INTO MANUAL CONTROL MAKING IT EXTREMELY HARD TO CONTROL. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3-5 TOTAL TIMES AT VARIOUS SPEEDS FROM 5 MPH ALL THE UP TO 65 MPH WHILE I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE

WITHIN A FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING 🚗 TODAY I COULDN'T NORMALLY STEER TO EITHER DIRECTION WITHOUT PULLING TREMENDOUSLY ON THE STEERING WHEEL, AS WELL ALMOST LIKE ITS STALLING OUT PUTTER, , "GM, IS SHORT FOR GOD MODE AND CAN HE BUILD IT, OR "GOT MAN" CAUSE HE 'GOT YA' WHEN YOU BOUGHT IT.. GREAT. LOVE IT. FML

MY VEHICLE JERKS TO THE LEFT WHEN BREAKING AND I FIND IT VERY DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING IT. SO I LOOKED MY VEHICLE UP AND IT HAS A FEW RECALLS INCLUDING THE STEERING WHICH COULD BE CAUSED FRONT HE JOINT BEARING IT SAYS WHICH CAN FAIL AND PREMATURELY CAUSE SEPARATION OF THE U-JOINT AND A COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL WHICH IS A HIGH RISK OF A CRASH. SO I WAS TOLD TO CONTACT MY DORMAN OR USE THIS WEBSITE TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW.

MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND WHEN YOU TRY TO GO OVER 40 THE CAR LUNGES FORWARD AND HAS A HARD TIME SHIFTING AND WILL CONTINUE WHILE IN CRUISE CONTROL. I ALREADY HAD WORK DONE ON THE FUEL LINE CAUSE THE LINE WAS CLOGGED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD LUNGE FORWARD CAUSE THE FUEL WASN'T GETTING PUSHED THROUGH. MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT AFTER MY BOYFRIEND PARKED IT. HE ONLY NOTICED IT WHEN HE TRIED DRIVING AWAY AND HE COULDN'T TURN THE WHEEL LIKE USUAL. THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES ITS THING WHILE IN MOTION. ALSO THE HEADLAMPS! THE BRIGHTS STAY ON, YOU HAVE TO HOLD THE DIMMER SWITCH BACK TO GET THE BRIGHTS TO TURN OFF BUT IF YOU LET GO OF THE SWITCH THEY TURN ON AND FLASH PEOPLE. IT ONLY TURNS OFF WHEN TURNING LEFT. THE AC COMPRESSOR BLEW TOO. I HAD BOUGHT THE VEHICLE 3 YEARS AGO DURING THE WINTER SO IT WAS BLOWING COLD AIR, BUT WHEN SUMMER HIT IS WHEN I NOTICED IT WAS ONLY BLOWING AIR FROM OUTSIDE INTO THE CAB. THE HEATER WORKS, BUT THE AC DOESN'T. MY BOYFRIEND WAS DRIVING HOME RECENTLY AND COULDN'T MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AND ALMOST HAD A HEAD ON COLLISION BECAUSE OF THE POWER STEERING. THE POWER STEERING HAPPENED IN TOWN AT HIS PLACE OF WORK AND HAD TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY TO COME HOME. THE CRUISE HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY. THE HEADLAMPS IS A CONSTANT THING, WE PULLED THE FUSE THAT CONTROLS THE BRIGHTS AND THE DIMS WORKED JUST FINE, BUT IT'S HARD TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WITHOUT BRIGHTS.
