Power steering light comes on then I have to struggle to make a right turn in a parking lot for assistance. Towed car to mechanic to find that my car does not take power steering fluid and that it is mechanical. When he drove the car everything was fine. That was 45 minutes after the incident. This is ridiculous. How the hell can you sell a car with defects? Pontiac must do better. They are taking our lives for granted. How can you only recall some vehicles if all are defective, seriously!!!!!!!

I was driving to work and my steering failed causing my car to jump a curb blowing out front tire and damaging the right front rim. This all happened in a school zone where normally children would have been walking. Thank GOD it was the day after Christmas. I am very shaken and scared to drive my car. I found out that over 15000 cars have this issue and there is no recall in place but there is a special program that fixes this problem for free. call gm at 800-462-8782 our dealers service writer was able to verify this through the GM service system. (check both recalls, and special programs) I can't stand the fact that they are aware of this issue and did not notify me of this issue. I pray no one gets killed because of this!!!!!!!!

I just bought this car at an auction.I was driving it for the first time and saw this message on the message center(power steering).I also hear a click or clank from the front while turning.I checked for power steering fluid,only to find it has no reservoir.

I found this site in trying to find a solution.Has anyone found a solution? Can it be repaired, or does it have to be replaced?

Update from Sep 6, 2011: I took the car to the dealer a couple days after I made the complaint and they replaced the steering column with the power assist unit as a unit. It is working fine now.I did talk to GM customer service first though.They told me they know about the steering problem, and after asking how many miles were on it and recording the specifics, they had me contact the dealer.They did the whole job free of charge to me.

Well, another pile of crap vehicle put out by mighty Junk Motors. My son's car now needs a $700.00 fix, a 2006 Pontiac G6. The tourque sensor in the steering column is bad. Called Junk Motors customer disservice, and, of course will not fix or even help him out with the bill. Junk Motors knows full well that the steering is defective, but being the government is not forcing them to fix it, they will not cover their junk on their own. I honestly hope they go bankrupt. They deserve it!! I wish we could have had a vote on the bailout! My Father retired from Junk Motors, so when I was growing up, I was fiercely loyal to their vehicles. After getting a bad pickup truck from them, I got the same customer disservice as my son's getting now, I switched over to Ford. It was the best move I ever made. I encourage everyone to try one. (No bailout)

My son made it very clear that he will never again buy a Junk Motors vehicle. He's 20 years old, so he'll be buying many more. He got the same old "I'm sorry you feel that way sir" The classic generic response. Shame on this company after we bailed them out for their years of inferior product, pisspoor management and customer disservive. Our Family is DONE with Junk Motors.!!!

I really hate that I purchase a Pontiac G6, I really like the style and how it drive. But I cant believe how much these parts cost. This is not a BMW or Porch. I took it to a Autoshop and they stated it was my Power Steering Motor Module Column. I guest I thought I was okay. Just for the Motor was 425.00 and 250.00 for labor totally 675.00. After I pick my car up the problem return. Still could not make a right turn now no left turn. It was hard like I was driving a truck. The Autoshop advised me to take it to the Dealership. So the next morning I took it to the dealership and explain to them my problems. They called me back and stated that the Motor Module was not reset right. So they suppose to reset it. that cause me around 200.00 dollars. So when I pick my car up from the dealership. After I paid for the work, the guy was driving my car out to let me take it home, the problem of the power steering happen again. So they keep my car, remember this is the dealership that make Pontiac. So the next day they told me its the Torque Sensor is the problem, now that is 826.00. I just dont understand what to do. I have made a complaint to Pontiac customer service. You all should as well, Just waiting/ Pontiac customer service complaint 1-866-790-5600. I wish that Pontiac/GMC will recall the power steering on 2005/2006 Pontiac GS before there is a serious accident. I almost got hit twice. So we all pray that they hear our complaints.

I brought this car May 2008 it was like love it first sight, it was really sporty moved great on the road and loved the interior of the car. The first time I had an issue with the car was in November I had to have my brakes turned or something to that nature I did not make a big deal out of it because I do alot of traveling. On 2-2-2009 my car would make a loud noise while driving this was a first, I guess the wheel locking up on me earlier this year should have been a warning. So I took the car to the dealership and explained to them what was going on they took I look at the car and told me that Ponitac was having a lot of problems with there Steering Columns, the great news is it is covered under my warranty however what happens when it goes out again and I dont have a warranty. More should be done regarding this issue if you see a default in your protect say something to the damn consumer, we are the ones driving these faulty ass cars. What if am on the highway with my child and I can't steer the damn wheel in time enough before the the unthinkable happens. I will never buy another american made car in my life. Maybe with the bailout money they hire new engineers and service parts for there cars.

If I wanted a car with manual transmission I would have paid less for one. This car was automatic and the steering felt like a manual. I had to wrestle with the steering just to make a turn and that meant I would have to back up sometimes to complete my turn because I ran out of room before my arm strength could make the turn. I also had to get a rental car through them and pay for two days additional insurance because it was less expensive than paying my deductible if I happened to have an accident in the rental car.
