Takata recall. But not only the air bags. There is a clicking noise when I steering, sometimes causing the air bag light to come on. There is a vibrating coming from the driver's side front when at speed that shakes the steering wheel even after the tires are balanced and the struts and tie rods were replaced. If I grab the steering wheel with both hands, it moves up and down. When parallel parking, the power steering fails making it impossible to turn the wheel without hitting the gas and putting the car in motion. I've noticed in my research that other G6 models of this year and surrounding years were recalled for all of the problems I am having. When I asked the person at Chevy dealer about it, she told me I was out of luck until the VIN pops up in their system. This has been happing since my wife got the car in 2007 apparently, and since we just had a baby, we are looking into it more. I've been waiting on the recalls to be expanded to her VIN, but nothing. Is there anything we can do, other than paying to rebuild the whole steering system of which others with the same problems were covered? thanks for any help.

There was a sudden loss of electric power steering (eps) assist. There is an existing recall, GM# 14772, which covers the Pontiac G6 and this specific problem. Why isn't my vehicle covered? I am experiencing the same problem!! it has happened several times already, including on the highway at high speeds.

Recently, I saw an article from a local news station regarding the attorney general going after local car dealerships for not disclosing or fixing recalls for cars sold off of their lot. I purchased my car in February 2015, with no knowledge of any issues or recalls. Upon placing my VIN number into the NHTSA website, I discovered that I have three recalls that have affected my car, having to do with the brakes, transmission and power steering. My car has had issues with its brakes from the get-go, I even went back to websmart to have it fixed with my warranty. Mere weeks after getting it "fixed", the issues returned and I'm not sure if it has to do with this recall or not. My power steering has gone out on me three times while driving, in the little over two years that I have had the car. I am not sure what to do regarding this and could use some help. Thank you, matt.

On approximately 13 different occasions over the last 2 months (while on a city street at 25mph, and while on a state highway with a speed limit of 65mph) all instrument panel gauges go crazy and suddenly dropped to zero. 'power steering' message and 'low fuel' light (had a full tank of gas) was shown on the radio message center, along with warning sounds, and 'error' was displayed in the odometer window. Gauges continued fluctuating repeatedly from normal and/or correct ranges, to zero, and continued sounding/showing warning sounds and error messages for approx 5-6 minutes. Then all gauges dropped to zero and stayed there, car engine was cutting in and out and radio stopped working. Pulled off the road, did not have a loss of power steering. Parked car, shut off, removed key, opened door and restarted car. Drove fine (no issues) for approximately 5 miles and then the same thing happened again, this time radio stayed on and engine did not cut out, guages returned to normal after about 2-3 minutes of intermittent fluctuating, error messages disappeared from message center without having to shut off car, but traction control light showed it was off and I could not turn back on - traction control worked after car was turned off and then restarted a short time later. Recall repair for power steering torque sensor was completed at a local dealership approximately 2 years ago, in 2015. Two mechanics in area could not find codes that were thrown but state that it is probably the part or a part pertaining to the recalled torque sensor, but could not confirm.

Power steering started to go out about 10 days ago. Difficult to steer. I noticed there was a recall on the steering of the G6's so I took it to a Buick dealer to look at. They said my car was out of the manufacturer date of the recall (NHTSA campaign number: 15V064000). I had the 23232310 sensor kit and 22837369 module replaced. $1303.34. Why is my car not covered when it sounds like it had the same issues as those in the recall. The dealer said mine was made later with newer parts. But, it still appears to have failed the same way. Are there other complaints similar to mine" should mine be in the recall"

Due to a previous recall for my Pontiac G6 I brought my car to a Pontiac dealership to have the corrections made. When I search by my VIN number there are no open or new recalls present. Yet over the past month while driving my information display on the center console will chime and display "power steering". I do not notice any changes with the functioning of the car when the display appears. I have pressed the info button once it appears and it then goes away from the display and no other functioning appears. I am concerned that the part that was replaced previously on a recall is malfunctioning.

My daughter was driving and suddenly had zero power steering. She was able, by the grace of god, to get it off the road. She turned it off and then back on and had steering for a short distance more but then the same thing! we had a recall done a year ago on the torque sensor steering column - we did not receive any paperwork when picking up the car. Now they say it is the lower steering column which is not part of the recall - seems like it should be - she could have been killed! I'm guessing any Pontiac G6 has potential to have issues with the torque sensor steering column and Pontiac does not care.

Four months ago, we experienced difficulty with the power steering. Borcherding Buick service technician told us there is a recall on the power steering column, but, wait until it acts up more and they can fix it. January 11, 2017 the power steering went out completely. The next day we had it towed to the borcherding dealership. They were kind enough to give us a loaner and typed in the repair work. Later that day, we received a phone call stating the, the special coverage is out of parameter because the recall expired 1-31-2015. The item defective was the power steering module, which GM automatically replaced when they replaced the steering column. We feel it is unethical for GM not to stand behind the recall, this is a safety issue! jeff boyer V.P. of vehicle safety in a previous letter stated, "he will make it right". this is obviously a faulty part, and no way could we have prevented this or have been proactive and repaired it. The incident occured as we were leaving a residence, the results could have been deadly!
