While driving the steering becomes unresponsive and ceases up. When the car is restarted the steering is normal again for awhile but the problem persists. Researching this issue it is a known problem on this year and make of vehicle and also appears that it was included in a recall. This is a huge safety issue. I put the last date it happened to my daughter but this has been an ongoing problem. The vehicle currently has about 177,000 miles on it but has been happening for a while now.

The car was working fine and then about a week ago the car was in a parking lot and I started it to go to leave and I could not reverse I'm not sure what it's called but there was like some kind of clip that somebody had to piece together for me just so it would be able to be drivable also the power steering light cut flashing on the radio and I checked to see if there was any power steering fluid and I found out that it has that motor well whenever I go in reverse it sounds like the emergency brake is like on but it's not and whenever I'm driving it feels like it's being pulled to the right and it clicks if I turn it too far

The power steering warning is showing up on the radio. When I slowed down to enter a gas station it was very hard to turn the wheel and I almost hit a snow bank.

- South Bend, IN, USA

I will be driving on city streets and highway, turning or going straight. And all of a sudden the power steering will go out. Then come back on and off again. Did this for about a week. Now just doesn't work at all unless I turn the wheel when I start the car.

- W. St. Paul, MN, USA

I was driving down the road when my steering wheel locked up and couldn't move, I eventually got it to a gas station where I purchased some power steering fluid because the light showed up under the time clock on the radio; come to find out there was a spot to put the fluid. Im still having issues with the power steering, it even caused my alignment to go bad and multiple flats tires. With the last flat tire, my service airbag light came on as well, just randomly. No check engine light has come on to be able to screen the vehicle to figure out what needs to be repaired on the power steering.

- Jackson, TN, USA

The steering would lock up in the middle of traffic. Car will cut off in the middle of turning and would cause a accident.

I was driving on the highway at 70 miles an hour when my power steering warning showed on my radio display then within 30 seconds my power steering stopped working completely. I have a 2006 Pontiac.G6

- Lake Elsinore, CA, USA

The power steering in my car has locked up twice in the past 3 weeks. The first time I had just made a right turn out of a parking lot onto a busy city street and was probably going between 25-30mph when a message on my dash appeared for "power steering" and my steering wheel suddenly locked up. After finally managing to safely pull over I shut the vehicle off to call for help. Within 5 mins of their arrival, the vehicle was turned back on and power steering was working again. Two weeks later, waiting to make a right out of parking lot onto the same busy city street, my steering wheel locked up again just as I was pulling out. There was a car behind me and cars on the road quickly approaching. I was a sitting duck with my front bumper half way into the street with nowhere to go and zero steering power to turn the wheel. It was terrifying! luckily, with help of strangers we were able to get back into the parking lot without further incident. My vehicle had a recall through GM (N140116) that was repaired by the dealer in November 2014 to correct sudden loss of power steering. Clearly this did not fix the problem and is a huge safety concern for all drivers. This ongoing problem has continuously been reported as a safety issue by vehicle owners experiencing the same problem for several years after the so-called recall was completed. The repairs did not fix the problem and GM should absolutely be responsible for correcting this and have refused to do so. My paperwork from the original recall repair says there is no expiration date so why will they not honor this, I do not understand.

This 2006 G6 belongs to my wife and according to GM the vehicle has already had recall 14772 as well as 14116 and this vehicle is still having issues with the steering wheel locking up while driving. This happens on all types of roads from interstates to country roads and everything in between. It doesn't matter how fast she is driving, if she is turning, or what the weather is. She has to turn the vehicle off, remove key from ignition, reinstall key and finally restart vehicle and hopefully the steering will work again. This is completely and totally unsafe and I can not let her continue to drive this vehicle as we have a young daughter that frequently rides in this vehicle, so what are we supposed to do when the recalls didn't fix the problem?
