I have an 07 Pontiac G6 with 137000 miles, with little warning my power steering light came on and I had no power steering. I was on the interstate traveling 70mph. I was able to get off on the next exit and turn my car off/on and it was fine. Well it happened again abt 30 minutes later. After doing research it said that some recalls have been made due to this issue but using my VIN number my car is not elligable. I'm at a loss, what do I do now?

My power steering is going out. It works but goes out after driving for a little bit. Or doesn't work when the car is started. Restarting the car is a temporary fix. The wheel also jerks back and forth when still. I see this is recalled for a 07 Pontiac G6 but not for my VIN.

- Kittanning, PA, USA

The steering on the G6 is hard and often incapacitated. Make loud noises and even though the power steering fluid has been flushed, replaced, and refilled it is still happening. My teenage daughters drive this car and it is unsafe. This needs to be addressed immediately via a recall notice!

February 2017 I was driving and my steering wheel locked up on me. I turned the ignition off & then turned the car back on & it never happened again until 11/13/17. I was driving & my steering wheel locked up. I almost caused an accident. I called greenwood Chevrolet hubbard to inquire about any recalls & I was told there were no recalls at this time & the recalls that were issued I was serviced for. 11/13/17 was not the first time that I called to inquire about recalls for my car. I call often when I see other GM cars have recalls. I called GM to inquire about a recall & I was given the same information that greenwood gave. I took my car to Firestone complete auto care on 11/15/17 & they made me aware of recall # 15356. They found the recall information when they ran the diagnostic test. They suggested that I take my car to the dealership & let the recall fix the issue. When I call the dealership and GM I was told that the recall expired on March 12, 2017. I never received and type of correspondence about the recall. What if I get in a car accident and harm someone else or myself. I feel that GM should have to pay to fix a faulty part that they installed into their product. I also keep getting a check air bag signal on my car every so often. I'm almost scared to drive my car. I also called the dealership that I purchased the car from and they stated that I would've had to call if I was having the problem then they would've honored the recall. I asked the dealership how can I call about a problem if it's not happening at the present time and why wasn't I notified about the recall. The dealership is diane sauer Chevrolet phone: [xxx]. I don't know if my air bag is takata; however, something is wrong for the signal to keep flashing that it needs to be checked. My phone number is [xxx] and my name is [xxx]. information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I was driving my Pontiac G6 through my neighborhood around 30-35 mph coming down a hill the steering wheel started to shake rapidly where I completely lost control of the vehicle then it pulls to the right and hits a park van. The air bags deployed, and I get sent to the hospital. I'm not sure what the reasoning of the crash but something along the lines of the steering wheel and steering components.

The power steering on my vehicle continued to fail at any time while driving, causing all loss of power steering until the car was restarted. This recall is listed on the NHTSA website. When I returned this to the dealership they told me that since this recall was released in February 2016, which wasn't even true based off the website, that they would not cover the cost, and the repairs would be over 1000 dollars, and additional 200 dollars for the technician checking my vehicle.

My car which was previously owned by my parents was taken in for a recall of the shift cable. Since the repair of the shift cable it has broken two more times. Once while in motion to park in a driveway where my husband almost drove into the garage, the other time it broke about a year and a half later while I was parking it in a parking lot the car lunged forward almost hitting the car in front. The car never had any problems with this part until it was supposedly corrected by the dealer. Im afraid its going to break while I am driving on the highway and I wont be able to stop or control the car. When the shift cable broke I could put the car in any position the shifter just kept going up and down if I didn't have the emergency break on I would have crashed into the car in front. If my husband didn't have the car with the emergency break he would have crashed into the garage.I have a phot of the broken part and notified General Motors twice since they repaired the part prior to it breaking.

I started my car on a cool morning (60+ degrees) from parking overnight and proceeded to the highway. I has to make a right turn onto the highway and steered right without actually proceeding, waiting for a vehicle to pass. The moment I started to proceed, my steering locked and a sign came up indicating power steering. I had to use all my power to align the vehicle, with more vehicles piling up behind me. I was supposed to make a sharp left turn at the light but proceeded to go straight when the light turned green until a got to a store parking lot that did not require a sharp turn to get my car into. I eventually parked and called for help. But then when I decided to turn the car back on, it was normal. That is when I checked and found out there were recalls for years prior to and after my model year.

The steering in my car started tossing me from side to side. I fortunately was able to get it to a shop 1 mile away only to find out the sensor kit and module kit (steering assist) needed to be replaced. Pontiac had a recall on this make and model but my VIN number was not one of them. Upon further investigation there has been 404 complaints for this exact reason. This could end up costing someone their life. When speaking with Pontiac he stated my car was not a problem"?? I was on the phone with him for an hour trying to stress the seriousness of this issue and he just continued to argue. My car only has 96000 miles on it, he also stated had I a VIN number that fell into their "magical" numbers and the deadline for the correction would have been May 31 but the issue happened June 1st they would not have fixed it. Pontiac knows this is a serious issue, they choose to "pick and choose" which vehicle they will fix. I also tried to explain to him I know how a manufacturer works so their "reasons and explanation" was not correct. I stated to him: They know there is a problem or there would not have been any kind of a recall. I also ask him "what if someone gets seriously injured"" he stated "they should have taken care of their vehicle" nice comment for a big manufacturer to make to someone who is letting them know this is a major problem. Everyone needs to put in these complaints to stop the big manufacturers from doing this.

- Defiance, OH, USA

The vehicle loses power steering assist at speeds below 20mph within 200 miles after being repaired. Once lost, power steering assist remains off and it takes brute strength to steer making it totally unsafe. Also, there are no warning indicators or check engine lights on the dashboard when this problem occurs. The dealership can't seem to fix it, so it seems a part in the power steering may be defective.
