G6 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 900 miles
- the contact owns a Pontiac G6 which was involved a crash in July 2006. The current and failure mileage were 900. The cv joint failed while driving at 40 mph. The contact heard a noise, and while driving the vehicle to the dealer, less than 5 minutes away, the contact lost control, hit another vehicle, and drove into a ditch. GM stated that the failure did not occur due to the cv boots, and that it could have been the tie rod end. The contact has a police report and photos. The police report was incorrect in stating that it was a head on collision. The contact and the other driver involved in the crash disagreed with the report. The vehicle hit a curb before going into the ditch. The impact was on the driver's side, there were 2 sets of skid marks. The insurance company stated the contact was at fault and cancelled her policy, stating that she lost control of the vehicle. The driver was taken to the hospital via ambulance, and the passenger was bruised. The air bags deployed. Due to the crash the contact needed knee surgery.
