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.

My 2006 G6 has had issues with power steering since I got it. I purchased the car with only 30,000 miles on it 2 years ago. It was during the summer and I'd had the car two week and power steering came across the dash. I was told that it was nothing and to ignore it. Now two years later its doing the same thing, it normally does this during the spring and summer months. At times it can be hard to turn but this is usually when I first crank the car up. Once again I was told this is because you have to give the power steering time adjust. I don't know what it is but after reading all of the complaints, I'm contemplating whether or not I should keep this car. Im really concerned for my safety. I also hear the clinking noise when I break and thump noise when I turn. I love my car but if this is a persistent issue with the car even after its been repaired then it doesn't seem like its worth keeping. The current mileage on my G6 is 53,000.

Problems with car started in June of 06, for abnormal noise, from underneath car, condensation was constant in headlights even after replaced. Car disc player would constantly malfunction and was replaced - steering was always seemed not just right. Car would accelerate for short spurts, trunk filled with water after a rain really feel the whole stability of the car needs to be seriously looked at.

I own a 2006 Pontiac G6 GT. I have been experiencing intermittent problems with the power steering unit. The electric power steering goes out with no warning. It has happened to me several times and seems to occur more frequently in warmer temperatures. I was nearly involved in a head on collision when this happened to me while making a left hand turn at an intersection. I took the car to my local dealer and they informed me it could be in excess of $1000 to repair. I have investigated this problem and have found hundreds of complaints about this year and model of Pontiac, all of which occur between 55,000 and 60,000 miles. My car has 57,000 miles on it. Still GM refuses to acknowledge the seriousness of this defect by issuing a recall. One would think with $52 million dollars of americans tax dollars in their pockets that they could take care of their customers. This isn't about bailouts though. This is about putting families, mothers and childrens lives in danger. I am sending this in hopes of this Agency being able to do something with GM to hold them accountable and force them to rectify this situation before more people get hurt or killed. This isn't a matter of a poor paint job here, this is a very serious safety issue involving the steering components of a car. I appreciate your attention to this matter.

The power steering went out in my car and I lost control trying to turn into an intersection. The light came on prior to my turning and this was the first time it had ever happened. I noticed the steering was off a bit the week prior, however, I had the tires rotated that week and they said that the car may pull to the left after. When trying to check the power steering fluid in the car, I found there isn't a spot for this and they are electric. Thankfully I did not cause an accident.
