ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING GOING OUT ON 2007 G6. GM SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL FOR HIS VIN BUT IT IS LISTED ON YOUR WEBSITE. THEY ARE REFUSING TO FIX IT. *TR

STEERING MAKES A VIBRATING NOISE, INSTRUMENTS GAUGE SAYS POWERING STEERING, THE STEERING WHEEL GOES LEFT TO RIGHT AND RIGHT TO LEFT BY ITSELF WHILE DRIVING. THE DRIVER HAS LITTLE CONTROL WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING. RECALL FOR STEERING FOR THESE CARS ANNOUNCED 2/4/15 BUT MY VIN NO WAS NOT INCLUDED BUT I AM EXPERIENCING THESE SAME ISSUES. PLEASE ADVISE HOW I CAN BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. MY CAR'S STEERING IS DEFECTIVE. PLEASE BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REDUCING DEATHS AND INJURIES DUE TO MOTOR VEHICLE CRASHES. MY LIFE AND MY FAMILY'S LIFE MATTERS. *TR

LOST POWER STEERING WHEN ENTERING A ROUND-A-BOUT. PULLED OVER AND SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE. POWER STEERING WORKED AFTER RESTART. IN THE FOLLOWING WEEKS POWER STEERING WAS LOST SEVERAL TIMES. GM DEALER REPLACED THE TORQUE SENSOR ASSEMBLY AT A COST OF $551. INFORMED ME THAT THE DATE OF VEHICLE MANUFACTURE IS NOT PART OF THE CURRENT RECALL. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 15 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND VIBRATED AS AN ABNORMAL NOISE EMITTED FROM THE STEERING WHEEL WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V064000 (STEERING). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000.

I STARTED THE CAR AND THERE WAS A MESSAGE ON RADIO DISPLAY THAT SAID POWER STEERING. WHEN I TRIED TO TURN THE WHEEL IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE WAS A RECALL BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL. PLEASE ADD MY VEHICLE TO THE RECALL. *TR

THE STEERING MAKES A CLUNKIN NOISE. IT TURNS BACK AND FOURTH BY ITSELF WHEN DRIVING AND WHILE PARKED.SOME TIMES WHEN I START THE CAR THE RADIO SAYS POWER STEERING WHEN I START THE CAR.WHEN THESE PROBLEMS HAPPEN I TURN THE CAR OFF OPEN DOOR SO THE RADIO GOES OFF THAN START IT AND THAN IT WORKS FINE UNTIL IT SITS TURNED OFF FOR A LITTLE WHILE.SOMETIMES I'LL HAVE TO TURN CAR OFF AND ON ABOUT FIVE TIMES BEFORE IT WORKS.I HAVE READ THAT PONTIAC G6 S FROM 2006 THROUGH 2007 HAVE A STEERING RECALL FOR THE STEERING TORQUE SENSOR BUT I GAVE GM MY VIN AND THEY SAID MY CAR DOESN'T HAVE THAT RECALL.SO I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE OTHER RECALLS TAKEN CARE OF AND TO CHECK MY STEERING AND THEY SAID IT IS THE TORQUE SENSOR.WHY IS IT THE SAME SENSOR AS THE OTHER G6S WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS THEY HAVE RECALLS AND MINE IS NOT UNDER RECALL.IT COST ME 600$.I MUST PAY BECAUSE IT'S VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. *TR

THE VEHICLE APPEARS TO HAVE THE SAME FAULTY FUEL PUMP RETURN LINE FOUND IN SIMILAR GM VEHICLES FOR THAT YEAR. SURPRISINGLY, THE G6 WAS OMITTED FROM THE RECALL ALTHOUGH THE SAME FAULTY PART POSES A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. ON 04/04/2015 THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LEAK FUEL FROM THE FUEL PUMP LINE - RELEASING HARMFUL GASOLINE VAPOR INTO THE AIR THAT MAY - GIVEN THE RIGHT CONDITIONS - POTENTIALLY IGNITE. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE AND MY CONSUMER CONCERNS TO A LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP AND CONTACTED GM DIRECTLY. UNFORTUNATELY, GM WILL NOT RESPONSIBLY REPAIR THE FLAWED PART AT THEIR EXPENSE - GIVING DEALERSHIPS THE LEVERAGE TO INSIST THAT OWNERS PAY FOR GM'S FLAWED FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM THAT SOMEHOW EVADED THE RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE. GIVEN THE BILLIONS OF TAXPAYING DOLLARS THAT GM WAS GIVEN ONE WOULD EXPECT MORE FROM THE AUTOMAKER. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE POWER STEERING INDICATOR CAME ON AND SOUNDED AND THE POWER STEERING ON MY 2007 PONTIAC G6 STOPPED WORKING AND IT WAS DIFFICULT TO STEER THE VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO RESET IT BY RESTARTING THE VEHICLE BUT IT WILL CONTINUE TO LOSE THE POWER STEERING. MY STEERING WHEEL SHAKES EVEN WHEN I AM AT A COMPLETE STOP. I HAVE SPENT TOO MUCH MONEY GETTING PARTS REPLACED AND THE ISSUE CONTINUES. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY GM DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL ON THIS CAR FOR THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR THE POWER STEERING TO STOP WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. *TR

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE 101 HWY IN CALIFORNIA JUST SOUTH OF ARROYO GRANDE AND FELT STEERING GET A LITTLE STIFF WHEN GOING AROUND A SLOW SEMI. SLOWED TO UNDER 30MPH TO TURN OFF HWY TO JOB SITE AND IT WAS LIKE TRYING TO STEER A WHEELBARROW WITH 600LBS OF DIRT ON IT. GET THE PICTURE? IF IT WAS MY WIFE SHE MIGHT HAVE CRASHED. I BECAME AWARE OF THE RECALL JUST 3 WEEKS AFTER AND RECENTLY FOUND OUT MY ASSEMBLY DATE ISN'T INCLUDED. IT WAS ASSEMBLED 12/06 ACCORDING TO DOOR JAM STICKER. WHAT'S UP WITH THAT? *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SERVICE ALARM WENT OFF AND THE EPS MESSAGE SHOWED UP ON MY CLOCK PANEL. RIGHT AFTER, MY EPS SUDDENLY TURNED OFF AND STOPPED WORKING. STEERING MY WHEEL IS EXTREMELY HARD TO DO. I'M LUCKY IT DIDN'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, BUT BECAUSE OF ITS SUDDEN MALFUNCTION, IT VERY WELL COULD HAVE. I DON'T EVEN FEEL SAFE IN MY PONTIAC G6 ANYMORE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER RESTARTING, THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

AS I WAS DRIVING ON A MAIN ROAD AT ABOUT 55MPH, A "POWER STEERING" MESSAGE DISPLAYED ON THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER AND A CHIME SOUNDED. STEERING CONTROL WAS THEN MANUAL AND I HAD TO EXERT GREAT FORCE TO STEER AT LOWER SPEEDS. I FIGURED RIGHT AWAY THAT MY POWER STEERING HAD GONE OUT SINCE I COULD NOT TURN EASILY. I IMMEDIATELY CHOSE TO PULL OVER TO AVOID PUTTING MYSELF OR ANYONE ELSE AT HARM. SINCE THEN, THE POWER STEERING GOES IN AND OUT. IT HAS HAPPENED AT ALL SPEEDS (PARKED AT 0MPGH, AT 70MPH, AT 25MPH, ETC.). IT IS NOT SAFE AND I AM HOPING NHTSA CAN HELP ME GET THIS RESOLVED. I HAVE TAKEN EXTREMELY GOOD CARE OF MY VEHICLE WHICH HAS 120,000 MILES ON IT AND HAVE A PERFECT DRIVING RECORD. I SEARCHED FOR A RECALL VIA MY VIN # ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT GM ISN'T RECALLING THE POWER STEERING ON MY VEHICLE. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY SINCE THERE IS A RECALL FOR JUST ABOUT EVERY OTHER TYPE OF PONTIAC G6, INCLUDING 2007. WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE? I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO GET THIS FIXED RIGHT NOW AND DON'T WANT TO PUT MYSELF OR OTHERS AT HARM. *TR

THE POWER STEERING WOULD NOT WORK UPON STARTING THE CAR AND WE WOULD NEED TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON AGAIN TO GET THE POWER STEERING TO WORK. AFTER ABOUT A WEEK OF THIS HAPPENING MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND THE POWER STEERING COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. WE CONTACTED GM TO SEE IF OUR CAR WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BUT THEY SAID OUR VIN NUMBER WAS NOT AND THAT WE WOULD NEED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE REPAIRS. SO INDEED THAT IS WHAT WE DID BUT WE ARE QUITE UNHAPPY THAT WE HAVE THE EXACT PROBLEM INDICATED ON THE RECALL BUT WE NEED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE OUR VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED. *TR

WHEN I TURNED THE VEHICLE ON THE POWER STEERING WAS NO LONGER WORKING. I TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK OFF AND IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN THAN ABOUT A WEEK LATER THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE WAS VERY HARD TO DRIVE. I TOOK IT TO SHOP AND THEY SAID IT HAD A RECALL ON IT IT WAS THE TORQUE SENSOR AND THAT I SHOULD CONTACT PONTIAC. I DID AND THEY SAID THAT MY CAR'S VIN NUMBER WASN'T LISTED AND EVEN THOUGH IT WAS PROBABLY A DEFECT THAT THEY COULDN'T HELP ME AND IT COST $358.00 TO FIX. *TR

ON MY WAY INTO WORK THIS MORNING, THE WARNING FOR "POWER STEERING" FLASHED ON MY CAR AND THE STEERING SUDDENLY QUIT WORKING ON MY 2007 PONTIAC G6. I WAS GOING ABOUT 40 MPH ON A STRAIGHT STRETCH THROUGH TOWN. LUCKILY, I HADN'T MERGED TO GET ON THE INTERSTATE YET. TOOK THE CAR TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME IT'S THE TORQUE SENSOR ON THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2006-2007 PONTIAC G6'S, BUT THAT MY CAR/VIN WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL AS IT WAS BUILT OUTSIDE OF THE BATCH OF CARS THE RECALL COVERED. I HAVE TO PAY $230 OUT OF POCKET UNTIL THEY DECIDE THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING ISSUE AND COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS FOR ALL DRIVERS ON THE HIGHWAY.

WHILE DRIVING ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET THE POWER STEERING MESSAGE CAME ACROSS THE MESSAGE BOARD AND THE STEERING BECAME HARD TO MANEUVER. I PULLED INTO A AUTO PARTS PARKING LOT AND TURNED OFF THE CAR WHEN I TURN THE CAR BACK ON THE POWER STEERING WAS RESTORED. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THE FIRST OCCURRENCE I HAVE CALLED PONTIAC AND ASKED ABOUT RECALL INFORMATION ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY OPEN RECALLS.I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES AND TURNS BY ITSELF WHILE THE CAR IS IDLING. *TR

STEERING WHEEL LOCKED WHILE DRIVING, "POWER STEERING" FLASHED ACROSS THE DASHBOARD, I HAD TO TRY AND AVOID OTHER CARS AND SLOW DOWN WHILE TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL WITH ALL OF MY STRENGTH, BUT IT WOULD BARELY MOVE AND THE CAR VEERED LEFT STILL. *TR

I HAVE PREVIOUSLY FILED A COMPLAINT AND WAS TOLD BY THE PONTIAC CUSTOMER SERVICE TEAM AT #1-800-762-2737. MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 50,000 MILES AND IT A 2007 PONTIAC G6. I FOUND A RECALL ON THE WEBSITE, RECALL# 14772, WHICH IS AN EXPANSION RECALL FROM THE ORIGINAL RECALL 14V-153. PONTIAC IS STATING THAT ONLY VIN NUMBER CARS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN APRIL 18,2006-JUNE 30,2006 ARE COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL. PONTIAC AGREED TO PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC AND IT WAS DETERMINED BY JAKE SWEENY WHICH PONTIAC ADVISED ME TO TAKE THE CAR TO. JAKE SWEENY INDICATED IT WAS THE TORQUE SENSOR. I THEN, CALLED BACK PONTIAC TO ADVISE THEM WHAT THE DIAGNOSTIC OUTCOME AND PONTIAC STATED THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR UNDER THE RECALL. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED AS I HAVE READ THERE ARE OVER 69,000 COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE AND I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT PONTIAC CAN JUSTIFY THAT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT RELATED TO THIS RECALL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I BELIEVE UNDER MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY (TITLE 49, CHAPTER 301) THIS IS A SAFETY AND RISK ISSUE. *TR

MY POWER STEERING IS DEAD!!! THEY WANT ME TO PAY $1200 TO FIX IT. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. HOW DO YOU FIRST RECALL 05, 06... 08, 09. THEN ONLY A SELECTED FEW 2007 YEARS LATER. WHENEVER I TELL ANYONE ABOUT THIS THEY ALL HAVE THE WTH EXPRESSION. *TR

THE POWER STEERING RANDOMLY WILL SUDDENLY LOOSE POWER STEERING. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. POWER STEERING IS RESTORED ONCE THE CAR IS RESTARTED. OUR VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BY GM FOR THE VERY SAME POWER STEERING ISSUE THAT OTHER SAME MODEL YEAR PONTIAC G6 CARS ARE INCLUDED IN. IT WAS FIRST NOTICED IN 2013 (MILEAGE UNKNOWN- AMOUNT ABOVE IS ESTIMATE) BY MY HUSBAND WHO WAS PRIMARY DRIVER AND IT WOULD ONLY HAPPEN WHEN GOING IN REVERSE. IT WOULD HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK ONLY IN REVERSE AND IT RESTORED ON ITS OWN. I WAS DRIVING IT IN 2014 WHEN I WAS GOING ABOUT 30MPH- IT WENT OUT ON ME. IT ONLY RESTORED WHEN CAR WAS RESTARTED. *TR

MY GIRLFRIEND WAS DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE AT 65 MP3 WHEN SHE WENT TO CHANGE LANES SHE LOST POWER STEERING CAUSING HER TO ALMOST WRECK WITH HER 2 BABIES I HAVE LOOKED IT UP AND THERE WAS RECALL ON STEERING JUST NOT ON MY VIN BUT MY CAR DOES EXACTLY WHAT RECALL MAKES THEM DO AND SHE HAS TWO BABIES IT LOSES POWER STEERING, AND THERE HAS BEEN 12 DEATHS FROM THE RECALL WHEN I CALL THEM THEY SAY MY PONTIAC G6 ISN'T AFFECTED BUT IF SHE WAS TO WRECK AND I HAD IT INVESTIGATED I THINK IT POSSIBLY COULD BE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY FORCE TO THE STEERING WHEEL IN ORDER TO TURN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING WAS DISPLAYED ACROSS THE MESSAGE BOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND WENT TO SWITCH LANES TO THE LEFT AND THE CAR MADE A DINGING NOISE AND IT WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO MAKE THE TURN AS I NORMALLY COULD. I LOOKED AT THE DISPLAY AND THE POWER STEERING WAS ON THE SCREEN . WHEN I FINALLY MADE IT TO MY DESTINATION, AND CUT THE CAR OFF UPON RESTARTING IT THE POWER STEERING CAME BACK. UPON RETURNING HOME THAT NIGHT POWER STEERING WAS WORKING FINE AND WHEN I WENT TO TURN FROM OFF THE FREEWAY TO CITY STREETS, I ALMOST HIT A CAR IN THE FAR LEFT LANE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC BECAUSE ONCE AGAIN THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS THE POWER STEERING COULD BE RESET BY RESTARTING THE CAR AND THEN FINALLY IT WENT OUT COMPLETELY. WHAT I DO NOTICE IS THAT IF MY WHEEL IS TURNED AT 180 DEGREES IT HAS NO SHAKE AND I CAN BACK UP AND NEVER LOSE POWER STEERING BUT AS SOON AS I TURN IT LEFT OR RIGHT IT LOCKS UP AND THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT AGAIN. I WAS TOLD I NEED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN AS WELL AS PAY FOR PROGRAMMING TO GET MY KEY TO WORK TO THE NEW COLUMN. I AM EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED AS GM HAS RECALLED MY YEAR MAKE AND MODEL BUT MY VIN NUMBER ISN'T LISTED IN THE RECALL. I HOPE THIS IS FIXED SOON AS I HAVE DONE INVESTIGATION AND TO FIX THIS OUT OF POCKET IT WILL COST AROUND $750.00. *TR

WHEN THE CAR IS FIRST STARTED 50% OF THE TIME YOU WILL HAVE NO POWER STEERING AT ALL. AFTER TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES YOU WILL REGAIN YOUR POWER STEERING. WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE POWER STEERING WILL FAIL SOMETIMES SOONER THEN OTHER TIMES. THIS CAN MAKE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN AND WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE CHECKED FOR A POWER STEERING RECALL ON MY CAR AND AT THIS POINT HAVE NOT REVIVED ONE. I HAVE CHECKED ALL POSSIBLE CAUSES AND HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO A FEW SHOPS AND THEY ALL TELL ME I NEED A NEW STEERING COLUMN. MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT IS NOT CHEAP THE FIX. I BELIEVE THIS ENTAILS A RECALL BEFORE MORE PEOPLE GET HURT. *TR

POWER STEERING ABRUPTLY STOPPED WORKING MANY TIMES OVER PAST 2 WEEKS: MAKING SHARP TURNS @ LOW SPEED INTO DRIVEWAY/PARKING SPOT, ON MAIN ROADS AT MODERATE SPEEDS (30-45MPH) WHILE CHANGING LANES & EVEN AT HWY SPEEDS WHEN CHANGING LANES. SOMETIMES POWER STEERING WOULD UNEXPECTEDLY COME BACK ON BY "ITSELF" - WITH A VERY DANGEROUS, UNPREDICTABLE JERK-TYPE MOTION. OTHER TIMES I WOULD PULL OVER (VERY DIFFICULT & SCARY TO STEER!) & RESTART CAR TO TRY TO GET POWER STEERING BACK. POWER STEERING HAS NOW COMPLETELY FAILED. TOWED CAR TO GM DEALERSHIP. WHILE WAITING FOR CALLBACK, DID RESEARCH & FOUND OUT ABOUT EXISTING & NEWLY EXPANDED RECALLS FOR TORQUE SENSOR. DEALER THEN CALLED TO SAY MY CAR (MANUFACT DATE 11/06) WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS! THEY ALSO SAID, THAT IN ADDITION TO DEFECTIVE TORQUE SENOR ($600 PART/LABOR) THAT THE POWER STEERING MOTOR WAS ALSO BROKEN (ADDL' COST $500) SO NOW A TOTAL OF $1100 AND NO HELP FROM EXISTING GM RECALLS! MY CAR HAS THE EXACT SAME DEFECTIVE PART(S) AS COUNTLESS OTHERS HAVE (SOME OF WHICH WERE INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS) THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART(S) ISSUE THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN GOING ON FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS! I HAVE ALREADY HAD TWO RECALL REPAIRS COMPLETED ON MY CAR. WHEN IS GM GOING TO MAKE THIS RIGHT AND INCLUDE EVERY CAR THAT SHOWS UP AT DEALER WITH AN DEFECTIVE TORQUE SENSOR? WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE? GM'S CUSTOMERS BEING SEVERELY INJURED OR KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT RESULTING FROM LOSS OF CONTROL OF STEERING??? *TR

POWER STEERING STARTED GOING OUT RANDOMLY AND NOW GOES OUT EVERY TIME I DRIVE. DEALER SAYS MY PARTICULAR MODEL'S VIN DOESN'T QUALIFY FOR THE CURRENT RECALL. *TR

REPLACE THE BULB BUT KEEP SHORTAGE OUT WITH THE WIRING BURNING. I DON'T KNOW WHY BUT THIS THE THIRD TIME OR MORE LOST COUNT. THE MOST RECENTLY IS 2/28/2015. I HAVE TO BUY A WHOLE HEADLAMP BECAUSE THE WIRING IS BURNT. I CAN TAKE A PICTURE OF IT YOU WOULD LIKE ME TOO. ALSO, I DON'T WANT TO GET A TICKET BECAUSE I HAVE A HEADLAMP OUT. *TR

LAST WEEK I WAS EXPERIENCING SHAKING IN MY STEERING WHEEL AND KNOCKING SOUNDS ON FRIDAY. MY CAR PRETTY MUCH SAT ALL WEEKEND, I WENT TO GO BACK OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY FOR WORK AND NOTICED THE STEERING WHEEL WAS REALLY HARD TO TURN AND MY STEERING WHEEL NOTICE CAME UP ON RADIO DASH. I PULLED BACK INTO MY DRIVEWAY TURNED OFF CAR. I PULLED OUT MY MANUAL AND WAS CHECKING TO SEE IF I NEEDED STEERING WHEEL FLUID AND IT WAS IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL COLUMN. I TURNED CAR BACK ON TO CHECK IT AGAIN AND IT WAS FREE AGAIN AND COULD TURN WITH OUT ALOT OF PRESSURE. I PROCEEDED TO WORK AND STARTED TO CALL AROUND TO SHOPS. I NOTICED ONLINE THAT THERE ARE RECALLS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. I DO NOT HAVE ALOT OF MILES ON MY CAR FOR THE YEAR AND HAVE SEEN SIMILAR/IF NOT THE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS OCCURRING WITH OTHER OWNERS WHEN I READ COMPLAINTS ON LINE. *TR

DRIVING AND LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND EPS LIGHT AND CHIME. *TR

WHEN I START MY CAR, I LOSE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING AND I AM UNABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL OF MY CAR. WHEN I RESTART MY CAR, I REGAIN POWER STEERING. HOWEVER, PONTIAC G6 MODELS 2005-2006 WERE RECALLED, FOLLOWED BY 2008-2009 MODELS. 2007 WAS NOT RECALLED, BUT CLEARLY I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IF I LOSE POWER STEERING WHILE MY CAR IS IN MOTION, I WILL PUT MYSELF AND EVERYONE ON THE ROAD IN DANGER. PONTIAC G6 2007 SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE BEFORE THESE CARS CAUSE ANY MORE CASUALTIES OR ACCIDENTS. *TR

I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TWITCHING. WHEN I TRIED TO MAKE A LEFT ONTO THE HIGHWAY RAMP I LOST POWER STEERING AND HAD A DIFFICULT TIME TURNING THE WHEEL TO MAKE THE LEFT TURN. THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT CAME UP AS A NOTIFICATION. I CONTACTED GM WHO HAS RECALLED SEVERAL MODEL YEARS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE HOWEVER AS OF TODAY, 2-28-15, MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE MOST RECENT RECALL NOTICE. IT IS NOT FAIR I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR OF $675 WHEN THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND FOR WHATEVER REASON GM HAS EXCLUDED MY VIN NUMBER.
