2005 PONTIAC PURSUIT Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2005 Pontiac Pursuit has 4 recalls, the most serious being an electric power steering system that can suddenly lose assist while driving, leaving the driver with significantly heavier steering effort and no power assistance to help steer the vehicle. A separate electrical recall involves the ignition switch, which can slip out of the "run" position if the key ring carries extra weight or the vehicle hits a bump or rough road. When this happens, the engine can shut off unexpectedly while driving, disabling power brakes and power steering at the same time. There is also a lighting concern: internal shields inside the headlamp housings can come loose, which may cause increased glare toward oncoming drivers at night.
