NHTSA complaint #11173638, filed 2019-02, 176,000 miles“Steering gets so hard, I at 220lbs can barely steer the car going forward or reverse. My daughter is learning on this car for her license but I am no longer letting her drive it since the steering randomly gets hard and the electronic stability control and ABS lights have come on also. It also says in the information section traction control service. Something needs to be done from GM for these problems before they kill people.”

My car was purchased brand new and should not have any issues this early. The ashland, va Pontiac dealership wants $100 to look at it. I know that their is an investigation for the Pontiac g6's, but something is not right here.”
