Takata recall while I am driving my 2009 Pontiac G6 it will randomly ding at me saying power steering and my steering wheel locks up. I was turning across a major highway and the power steering shut off and I almost had a wreck. I never know when it is going to do it and it is very dangerous. The only way for the power steering to work again you have to turn the car off and back on.

When I start the car, occasionally the steering light will display and the steering wheel is locked. I turn the car off and start it again and then there is no problem. This does not happen every time I start it but it is a concern and there are some recalls concerning steering but I do not find my car listed.

Twice in the last 2 months my power steering has gone out in my 09 Pontiac G6. Both times the power steering has gone out has happened while the vehicle was in use and making a turn. I notice that there was a recall for this issued in 2014, but my VIN number is not included in that recall. I had to replace the pump in February of 2017, and am now on April 27 2017 having to take it back in due to power steering issues. I am unclear as to why the 09 Pontiac G6 power steering recall did not extend to my VIN number, but clearly there is an issue with my vehicle's power steering that is above and beyond normal wear for an 8 year old vehicle.

- Griffith, IN, USA

Vehicle was in motion on a 45 mph street when power steering became inoperable with an alarm. Sudden loss of control experienced, but no accident. Turned off car and restarted and power steering became operable again. Got vehicle home and next day tried starting and alarm came back on with no power steering. Afraid to drive it and hope there is a recall in the works. Not safe!

'stearing angle sensor recall' there is a recall on 2 door models and not the four door models. These vehicals have the exact same part on them that goes bad. Is there no safety issue because its a four door. If the steering component is bad it dose not matter how many doors the car has. I was driving down the road today and my electric power steering stopped working. This is a very dangerous situation.

- St Paris, OH, USA

Vehicle steering stutters, clanks, clunks and has been in dealership for the problem. They replaced the power steering assist motor/module assembly and said it was covered by GM, and was told it was a common problem. After driving car it still did the same thing, now they want to charge us to diagnose the problem we took it in for to begin with. The (iss) intermediate steering shaft has also been replaced with factory GM part, which was also bad when 1st took in but they didn't point out. This has so far been a great car and now has over 144,000 miles and I realize there are gonna be problems with this much mileage, but the steering issue is really getting scary and still not fixed and I can't afford to keep replacing parts that aren't fixing it. GM should've recalled this problem on my car as they did others and fixed it with no cost...

- Muir, MI, USA

I took my car in to dealership because power steering alert had been appearing sparatically on info console. I never lost power steering. At my dealership they said that ithere was a recall for this issue, and that they would fix it. Four and a half hours later, they have taken my steering column apart and say they cannot put it together again until they have a new part for it. That was five days ago now and they tell me that they've replaced my torque sensor five times, but havn't been able to program it. So now they're telling me my steering column is broken and that I need to spend $625 for a new one. My steering column was not broken when I drove it into the dealership for an oil change and what I figured would be routine maintenance. If the torque sensor (recalled) requires a new steering column in order to be programmed, then that shouldn't that replacement be covered by the recall fulfillment?
