Power steering went out while driving 65 on a fairly straight 65 mph hwy. The faulty part is the torque sensor assembly wich there is a recall on for 2007 vehicles manufactured up until June 2016 I believe. GM recall # 14772....expansion of recall 14V-153. Should recall include all 2007 Pontiac G6 vehicles as this is extremely dangerous.

Airbag is not on will not turn on. The electronic motor like all the other recalls GM should be taking care of is going out and locking up steering. I would advise anyone to get an attorney and file against GM for not taking care of a dangerous problem

Electrical systems that control power steering weaken when switching gears. Power steering causes lights to dim in car and headlamps outside of car at night and during the day. Lighting fails on the front passenger side causing right turn signal to malfunction and entire assembly to appear dim and not at all when signal is activated. This occurs at all times of vehicle use: Stationary, city driving, and highway driving.

Power stirring went out suddenly causing the car to shake and not respond properly to driver operation. Other males have had issue but 2007 G6 hard top convertible didn't make that list, even though many other owners have had this safety issue on same model and year.

There is a bumping or clunking noise when the steering wheel is turned slightly at low speed or while still, as if there is a linkage problem. Apparently, this is a common issue for this car, as GM has issued tsb #06-02-32-007F. However, since this is a steering issue, shouldn't there be a recall to correct or repair?

Power steering faulted out in my car with no warning. Car was parked thank god car started gave power steering fault steering wheel would not move and car would not either. Taken to shop when kicked back in after restarting car 9 times. Parked at dealership then did not move since had to be towed to another dealership to have diagnostics done. Steering wheel shook really bad while driving and sitting still until it stopped working all together at the dealership. If this would have happened while driving it could have been really bad. This happened with no warning at all went to start my vehicle and just happened. Vehicle has been fixed I am looking for reimbursement due to recall infomation assocciated with this issue.

My steering shakes uncontrollably while driving and non-driving it stiffens up where I can't turn left or right. When I start the car it stiffens as well. I took it to a certified mechanic they say that its a recall on it. What's my next step because the mechanic says he can't fix it. I need and would like for my car to be fix.

While driving my car on the freeway, the instrument panel lit up and a beep twice indicated an issue with power steering and the car no longer maintains power steering. There is a recall for this issue 14772 for the make and model of my car but my car was not included in the recall. This is a major issue that should cover all models affected it's difficult to steer without the power steering. I've already had my car towed twice to a dealer that cannot find a problem and I've spent over $200 to have my battery cables cleaned which is what I was told was the problem.

Driving on freeway and power steering sign flashed without warning on screen and then steering wheel locked going 65 mph. Causing me to almost crash and now power steering does not work. Now power steering does not work. I'm seeing in 2014 there were many recalls on this vechicle and for some odd reason, my VIN was not included this is a common problem for this car and should not be responsible. Ive called GM and they will not help me.
