My 4 month old car started leaking steering fluid which should never happen. Faulty gearbox was the cause. Dealer replaced the whole thing under warranty. So far it has lasted another 40,000 miles with no issues.

I have not had my 2008 Pontiac G6 for a full year yet and the faulty steering issues I am reading about are showing up already!!!!! Yesterday the steering acted up where steering to the left is very loose while steering to the right is very tight. While making a left turn I felt I lost some control over the steering. Too much play on the steering and I was not sure how much I needed to turn the steering wheel to make my turn safely. It scared me! I became very focused on the steering performance after that and noticed that left turns were loose and and the steering wheel moved loosely while on right turns the steering wheel was rigid and could not be moved and required more force in making the turn. This is not right! I will have my pontiac looked at and hopefully parts can be replaced under warranty. This is truly unsafe! How can intermittent and unpredictable loss of control of your vehicle due to mechanical malfunction not warrant a recall?!!!
