When driving, the power steering goes out. I have to restart the car to make the power steering work. This is an ongoing problem, you then can drive it for a couple miles before it goes out again. Then restart the process.. and if it goes out while trying to make a turn, it causes you to go off road.

I have a 2006 Pontiac G6 GT and the power steering went out going down the road. The power steering light came on first and about 5 minutes later the power steering went out. The steering was so hard to turn that I had to park the car cause I couldn't turn the steering wheel. Other year models have been recalled but the 06 hasn't. the vehicles a unsafe and need to be recalled to fix the problem.

2006 Pontiac G6, 4cyl. The electric power steering assist is failing on this car. With a quick research on google I have discovered that this is a common problem in this vehicle and accidents are occurring. The recall on the cobalt, G5 and other cars have the same power steering assist. Why is there no recall on the Pontiac G6?

I have a 2006 Pontiac G6 that I purchased last summer. Since then my power steering has gone out twice. The first time was about 6 months ago and it only last for about a day and then the next time I started the car up it was fine. But the second time it happened was on July 10, 2010. I was heading home from a friend's house and as I went to turn off her street my steering wheel became very hard to turn and my radio screen said "power steering". I had to use every bit of energy I had to turn my steering wheel and make it back to my house safely. I haven't driven the car since then. I check it everyday just to make sure it hasn't fixed itself like last time but I haven't had any luck... I called GM to report it and they basically said oh well and too bad, I have a feeling I am going to have to end up paying for this and I definitely do not have $800 to fork out and pay for a manufacturing defect such as this.

- Hollywood, FL, USA

I own a 2006 Pontiac G6 with faulty power steering. The power steering cuts in and out intermittently, sometimes even while in operation. There have been several occasions when taking a curve and the steering wheel locks up and becomes almost impossible to turn. The failure is most prone to occur in warm weather, and generally in the summertime it rarely goes away. I have been told that this was a manufacturing issue, and that the out of pocket expense is egregious. This needs to be corrected soon, before I join a growing list of others who have been unfortunate enough to have had an accident.

My electric power steering in my Pontiac G6 went out. It was very dangerous and I experience neck and arm pain for weeks after for having to drive around without it. I had to get the car fixed which required it to be in the shop for a week. They had to replace a circuit and reprogram the car. I paid 900 dollars out of pocket. I have done research and found that is it a common problem among Pontiac cars including G6's which is what I have and yet its the only Pontiac car to not have been recalled for it yet.

- Chandler , AZ, USA

2006 Pontiac G6. The power steering light comes on and the power steering is lost. This happens at high and low speeds. I am seeing this is a very common problem with this model. It happens at random times. Very dangerous!

I have a 2006 Pontiac G6 that has a clunk in the steering when you are traveling at slow speeds and turn the wheel.

- Abraham, UT, USA

I have a 2006 Pontiac G6 and for the past several months the powersteering has been going out. I can pull over and shut the car off and then turn it back on and sometimes it will reset. However, more recently that is not working and if I am driving on the highway I have come very close to having a wreck. The powersteering goes out at least 4 times a week and the days it goes out it continues all day long. I am afraid this is going to cause a very bad wreck. I had the problem looked at by a mechanic and he said the only thing he could do was replace the whole steering column and he didn't suggest doing that just yet. This is something that really needs checked out before someone dies from an accident.

I have an 06 Pontiac G6 and a while back I was driving home from out of town when out of no where the power steering went out. I was able to steer it to the gas station but if my wife had been driving, she would not have been able. The steering isn't just hard to turn like an old truck, it constantly tries to spring back to the straight position so you fight it the entire time. We parked it for a few days and I turned it on an took it around the block and it was fine until a week ago when it went out again and now I cant get it to work at all. I will be damned if I am paying to have it fixed when it is GM's problem. This is a serious issue and it is complete bs that all the other cars got recalled but the G6 did not. "government motors" better do something about this or risk losing even more customers.

I bought a Pontiac G6 2006 recently and it seemed like a good buy but now its been giving me steering troubles were the power steering stiffens up and I can barely turn the wheel. I've done a little research and I found im not the only one with this problem.

- North Miami, FL, USA

I have not been in any accidents (thankfully) however; within the past 4 months I have had to replace my steering module and just last week my ball joint and control arm. These are expensive and are very necessary to fix right away. I have a hard time turning my steering wheel at times and when I seem to turn it makes an odd noise. The dealership said it was fixed but at times I still feel something is wrong and it scares me because I don't want anything bad to happen. I have talked to the Pontiac dealership and they say there isn't anything that can be done. This to me isn't right and I do not feel safe with my steering seeming to go bad often.
