The steering wheel tightens up when driving. The wheel will move back and forth like a vibration. The car is difficult to drive when the steering problem occurs. The issue began in December 2009 and has progressively gotten worse, meaning more consistent and regular. I refuse to pay for an adjustment to the vehicle when Pontiac should take responsibility. I am not the only consumer having this problem. I regularly commute on the interstate and feel unsafe in my vehicle because of the defect. An accident has not occurred, but Pontiac should recall the 2008 Pontiac G6 to prevent a possible future accident.

- Indianapolis, IN, USA

I own a 2008 Pontiac G6. The car have an electric power steering system. The steering is uncontrollable, the steering wheel moves back and forth and is very loose. I also experience that power steering is loss and become hard to control. Sometimes the display reads power steering. I took it to the dealer and they replaced the electric power steering motor. The cost was $780. The recent cobalt and G5 recall should have included the G6. I should not have to pay to have a new eps motor installed which is what the recall covers. I am very dissatisfied with Pontiac and will never buy another Pontiac.

In October my 2008 Pontiac G6 started having issues with the power steering. My power steering warning light came on and it was hard to keep my car in one lane. This problem has been ongoing since then. The power steering problem comes and goes but it is always difficult to steer (like driving an older model car without power steering). I drive 90 miles roundtrip to work and travel on a busy highway. It is very difficult for me to keep my car in one lane. My steering wheel pops. When I stop my steering wheel moves back and forth rapidly on its own. I took my car to the dealership last week and they told me it would cost around $550 to repair. I told them I would not pay for something that was a defect. If Pontiac has recalled the G5 and the G8 shouldn't they recall the G6. This is ridiculous. My car has been doing this for over 5 months. Pontiac should repair all cars with this issue before someone gets killed.

I took the car into city Chevrolet in Nov 09 to have the intermediate shaft replaced under warranty due to having steering problems, it fixed the problem for 2 days and had to take it back in and the dealership told us that they forgot to tighten the shaft. Now the same problem is occurring again but much worse, the steering wheel after a turn comes back to the resting position in a jerky fashion and continues going left until it finally rests, the steering wheel vibrates when driving and all speeds. The vehicle makes noise when turning the steering wheel. The vehicle is a 2008 Pontiac G6 with 45000 miles on it. The vehicle feels unsafe when driving, it feels as if the vehicle doesn't want to turn when directed to do so.

- San Diego, CA, USA

The contact owns a used 2008 Pontiac G6. He stated that the vehicle became difficult to steer. While driving straight, it would become difficult to keep the vehicle inside his lane and the steering wheel would feel hard, as if it would possibly lock. The failure mileage was approximately 25 mph. The failure became progressively worse over time and there were never any warning lights that would illuminate to indicate a possible failure. The dealer was contacted and the power steering assist module was replaced at the owner's expense. The manufacturer did not assist. There were no further failures following the repairs. The failure mileage was 59,440 and the current mileage was under 61,284.

I have a 2008 Pontiac G6 that is having power steering issues. I believe this is the same issue the Pontiac G5 is having. I took it to a nearby dealership and they said the charge would be over $600. Although my car is over 40,000 miles, I believe that GM should be responsible enough to fix the same problem in a same type of model auto. Power steering keeps coming up on the message board. This has been happening for about 3 weeks.

- Milwaukee, WI, USA

I had the intermediate steering sector replaced and immediately afterward the power steering unit would stop working for short periods while driving. I also noticed that the steering wheel sometimes shakes when the car is stopped. This shaking is similar to the shaking that would occur when a tire is badly out of balance during driving.

The dealer changed the steering module, steering gears, and replaced the stabilizer link, to no avail.

- Lancaster, SC, USA

I own a 2008 Pontiac G-6 (value leader model) 2.4L engine with electric steering. At 15,000 miles the motor for the electric steering went out causing a dtc and P/S message on the radio dic, I had no power steering at this point. The motor and control module were replaced by the dealership where I bought the car. At 66,000 the steering begin having random movement left to right on its own at various speeds, on three occasions the lost of steering control nearly caused an accident each time. The only way to regain control and stop the movement of the steering left to right is to come to a complete stop and sometimes shut the car off and restart the car. Since this started the car has been to the dealership for repair three times. The outcome thus far is the dealership can not duplicate the problem. The intermediate shaft also had clunking noise and movement up and down by pulling on steering wheel. The shaft has been replaced with 2nd generation shaft from a technical service bulletin. On 12/23/2009 I paid to have the torque/position sensor replaced and calibrated. After six days of driving the car the random movement left to right and control loss came back. Currently the car is back at the dealership for test driving to duplicate the problem. The issue has been duplicated on 01/12/2010 my options seem to be at this point for GM to replace the entire steering column or help replace the car. I am currently not happy with the vehicle and fear for my safety to drive the car.

I have started to experience loss of power steering and you never know when because it drives fine until you try and turn a corner or pull out to pass someone, wondering if anyone else has had this problem and what if anything has GM done to correct the problem. My car it's a Pontiac G6 model 2008 with 37,000.

- Orlando, FL, USA

Intermediate steering shaft clunking had to have replaced GM said wasn't a safety issue. With the joints freezing up how could this not be a safety issue?

- Michigan City, IN, USA

I have a 2008 Pontiac G6. When I was driving down the highway the power steering went out. Took it to a mechanic said that it has an electrical power steering. Of course the dealership had the part in stock because the said all G6's have faulty steering. There needs to be a recall before someone crashes and is seriously injured. I don't think it's fair that I have to pay the $700 to get it fixed when this is something they are aware of. Please pray for my safety I hope this fixes the problem.

Steering makes a popping and clunking sound when turning. Is getting worse (louder) as time goes on. The noise is now pretty much every time you turn and steering is becoming more "stiff" but not as yet dangerous.

- Henderson, NV, USA

I have a 2008 Pontiac G6 that has 20,800 miles. While turning there is a popping noise from the steering column. Steering wheel began jerking left and right when idling and is now doing it while driving. While driving today the power steering warning on dash came on. I will be taking this car in for repairs tomorrow, but I began googling for possible solutions and found numerous complaints and a silent recall on the 2005 and 2006 models of the G6, but I think the problem is still unresolved. While the steering issue has caused an accident, is has become a major concern as the jerking made highway driving unsafe. This just started happening a few days ago.
