What owners wrote
In september of 2014 my vehicle (2008 pontiac g6) was involved in a server accident when I was on the I-75 interstate merging onto the I-20 ramp when I lost control of my vehicle upon braking and jerking of the steering wheel resulting in loss of all control of my vehicle at this point. I hit the guardrail and one other vehicle was involved as well. The city of atlanta is where the incident occurred.
99 percent of the time when I turn the wheel to the left I hear a loud popping and wining sound stopped by a car shop was told the steering dampers were going bad was told it happens a lot on this car I have been reading so many things about this they are all saying the same time to do something about it.
