05 G6

Johndoe 17 April 2005 04:15:06
 Have a 2005 G5 that we bought in December. While out driving today, ON THE
INTERSTATE, the power stearing went out. The power stearing message popped
up on the radio too. Pulled over, shut the engine off and restarted and
everything was fine. Got of the interstate and as I'm coming down the off
ramp, it does it again. Did it the whole way back home too. Anyone else
have this happen? Obviously it's under warranty and it will be going to
Pontiac Monday morning, but I'm wondering if it's a known problem?

Yes, we've replaced numerous steering columns in the Malibu
vehicles with the electric steering (same basic vehicle). There is
a sensor in there that goes belly up, but of course....you have to
replace the entire column. It's a new system, I'm sure that they
will get the bugs worked out eventually.

 That is right. I dropped it off at Pontiac this morning and they said the
entire column has to be replaced. Going to take a few days. Ironically,
they gave me a Malibu loaner car.

Just think of what sort of freak accidents will happen when steering is a
totally drive by wire system! class action lawsuits here we go!

 No kidding. They actually just called me and said it's going to be at least
another seven biz days. They aren't sure what's wrong with it now and they
are waiting on someone from GM???? What does Pontiac have to do, fly in a
GM engineer or something??? Great news

Do they have electric-powered power steering or something strange like that?
I remember reading that had come out on some car, but I don't recall which.

Did you take it to a Pontiac only dealership? they've probably never seen a
new Malibu in their life and don't know about the steering column recall.

 It's a Pontiac/Buick/Isuzu­ dealer. You are correct, they knew nothing about
the steering column problem - I HAD TO TELL THEM!
