I have an issue with the power steering on this vehicle. I came to find out that this vehicle has electrical power steering. I was driving on a residential road when the steering wheel locked up on me. It took all the strength I had to pull over to side of road which is very dangerous and call for assistance. I was told to restart vehicle which fixed this issue for that day then happened again on another this is a major problem that needs to be addressed immediate response would be greatly appreciated.

Going down highway about 60 mph. Steering locks up, traction control went off.barely made it over to emergency lane.. I see I'm not the only one with this problem. Also, recall up to 2009 G6 but not my 2010 Pontiac G6. This issue is very dangerous and needs to be address.

Over the last couple years my vehicle would indicate 'power steering' service esb' 'traction' and then the indicator would go off as oddly as it came on. I took it into dealership twice for check and they could not find any issue or recall and said to just keep driving.... now over the last two months I cannot drive without my power steering actually locking up, very difficult to navigate and the steering wheel rocks side to side when idle. I was able to remedy for about a week with simply turning the car off and back on but this no longer works and the power steering will now lock up while I am driving.

Power steering goes out intermittently while driving. I was on the highway and it went out. I had to stop and turn the car off, then it came back on. There was a recall for the same issue for earlier years of the G6. My mechanic said it's the same issue but no recall. I can't pay out of pocket to fix this issue and it's a huge safety concern.

First the power steering light keeps illuminating and the then service ESC is now on and it shut off. This is an obvious safety issue that wasn't fixed in the 2014 recall. Also the service ESC and brake lights sometime illuminate and then go off. Now it's just on all the time and has shut off my ESC. It is lit when driving and in park.

Purchased car used in 2013 car will not start sometimes car will loose power steering and jerk going down the road lose gas indicator and speedometer has happened several times in 4 years not the battery or the alternator possibly theft deterrent device seems to be a theme with this make and model however no recall by Pontiac probably because they are out of business and dont care

Repeatedly this car is worked on due to something electrical. The headlight wiring has shorted or burned before and after the recall (multiple occurrences). Now airbag sensors shorted out and wiring was burned. That was just replaced however mechanics can't figure out clicking noise in steering column that causes cruise control and air conditioning to turn off. This happens from time to time while driving on the highway. 2014 intermediate shaft recall does not cover my car. This car is a money pit and the recalls do not ever fix the issues. I have video of the clicking yet nobody can explain it or fix it. The clicking is new (last few weeks) yet electrical issues shorting out has been reoccurring for years.

Intermittent problem, city & rural driving, slow and fast speeds, while turning and while on straight, in motion and while parked, smooth roads and rough, raining and dry. However, problem occurred only a handful of times during the winter. Started over 6 months ago, approx 93,000 miles. While driving, 3 bell-dings, "power steering, " "disabled ESC, " and "service ESC" dash lights come on, along with icon of car w/swervy lines. Continue driving and steering seemed ok. Dash continues to cycle "power steering" and "service ESC" warnings. Issue repeats randomly. After a period of normal use, problem intensifies to dashboard gages, radio scv, and cruise to off ; auto shifting becomes rough. All gages then flutter up and down intermittently. Work done: Mechanic = 9 pages of codes. New battery/battery cables. Drove a while, recurred - no codes. Drove a little while longer, recurred; cleaned battery, checked fuses. Passed inspection. Drove a while; 5 pages of codes. Applied electric grease to BCM terminals. Drove 3 days; "power steering" and "service ESC" issue recurred. Have video; format not allowed

GM issued a recall for the exact same issue I am having with my vehicle only for previous years they did extend special coverage but only up to 150,000 miles. This problem with the power steering cutting out at any given time should be considered a major safety issue, I have had to manually try and steer my vehicle when this has cut out, thank god I was pulling into my driveway and not out on the highway at 70mph with my child in the car!! I barely had the strength to steer it when I had to. This is a common issue with this design of electrical power steering and I feel GM should stand behind their product and fix it regardless of the mileage on a person's vehicle. When I start my vehicle up the power steering indicator flashes along with service ESC and the steering wheel locks, when I restart the vehicle it will usually reset but this is happening with more and more frequency as well as the steering wheel jerking while sitting idle and also while in motion. Just because my vehicle has 30,000 more miles on it than the special coverage allows doesn't mean GM should discard the issue and make it the consumers problem! this is due to their faulty design/manufacturing of this part.

Steering wheel shakes at idle. Eventually led to complete loss of power steering.

When I start my car it states, "power steering service ESC" and my traction control symbol is on on my dash board. It started off only doing this when I started my car and now it has started to do it more often and won't turn off. It happens when I'm driving and is a huge safety concern because I'm unable to turn my wheel/turn my car when I am driving when this happens and I can't always pull off right away because it happens at all different areas/places. It has happened on the highway, on busy roads while trying to turn through oncoming traffic, in stationary, etc.

When starting my car, power steering service ESC was shown on my message center as my car beeped to alarm me of the message as well as I had no power steering and could not turn my wheel. I looked up on the internet what that message meant and saw that there have been recalls for the same issues on previous years of the same vehicle but that 2010 isn't covered under the recall. Online it stated to turn off the vehicle and take the key out of the ignition and then try again. I did so and my car started and the message was gone and my power steering was back (as normal). Every time I start my car the same message comes across. Although, it's been about a week since this originally started and it is happening more frequently now and takes 4 or 5 times for me to shut my car off and restart it before it "goes back to normal". also, when I'm driving my car veers to the left pretty badly and I have to hold the steering wheel crooked to drive straight. There's also a knocking noise on the driver side that also was stated to be apart of the recall on previous years. My car started smelling like it was burning today and I'm wondering if it's part of the electrical/steering issues that my car is having. This is a huge safety issue. :(

While driving, unexpectedly, an error will appear stating there is an issue with the power steering. At this time, the power steering stops working which makes it very difficult to control the vehicle. At the same time, a "service ESC" code appears also and it automatically turns off the traction control system. This happens while driving down the highway at higher rates of speeds which poses a critical safety issue. There is no current recall information at this time for this vehicle. Some instances have included the brake lights not working properly or the tail lights not illuminating while the headlights are turned on. This is also a huge safety concern. The vehicle is paid off and expenses have been incurred by the owner to fix this problem, but the issue is recurring. The repair center cannot seem to fix this problem. I am submitting this complaint due to the large safety concerns that these issues pose. I do not believe the owner should continue to accrue costs to fix the problem when the problem ultimately is not mitigated. Thank you for your time.

Power steering recall!!! I will be driving down the road and my power steering will shut off! I can not steer the vehicle, the steering wheel shakes and my car makes a horrible noise. I also receive a warning signal on my dashboard telling me my power steering needs serviced as well as service ESC! I have friends with older models and their cars were recalled however starting with my vehicle year (2010) and up they do not have a recall in place! this happens daily! someone is going to get into an accident! what if I went around a curve and my power steering shut off? GM refuses to fix it for free as no "recall" was put into place for this part (just 2010 tho!!!) please put a recall out for this part!

On December 26th, 2016 I was driving my 2010 Pontiac G6 down the highway when I felt a strong jerk and the car was nearly impossible to steer. The car jerked into the adjacent lane almost hitting a car who brake to avoid me. I parked the car on the side of the road turned it off. I turned the car back on and the power steering seemed to be fine. This is a very dangerous issues and now I am unable to drive my car because of safety issue.

I was driving my vehicle down a mountain when the power steering light came on and its also saying service enc and also the traction light came on, the steering was real hard for me to control going around the curves, as soon as I got down I pulled over to the side, turned off my engine, turned it back on again and the lights where off, as soon as I started driving it seemed like my steering on my left hand side would start to get rough and then the lights would pop back on and I would have trouble steering, I live on some pretty winding roads and a couple of the turns I thought I was gonna end up on the side, but I just could not keep stopping and starting it up all the time cause it was dark and not to much places to pull over.

When I start the car, I get a power steering failure and cannot move the sheering wheel. I have to shut it off to get it working and has happened about 8 times. Today the car was on and was going to park my car, moving slowly and the power steering cut off. I had to restart my vehicle to get the power steering to work again. The signal for a power steering power comes up on the dash board. Why was there a recall of this until 2009. When many 2010 G6 are having the same problem. I am scared if this happens at a high speed.
