At low speeds, driving around town, we hear a popping sound, that appears to be coming from the steering column.

- Fremont, CA, USA

First it begin with a clunking sound as I turn my car to the right. Then it begin with my signal light being defected to where it doesn't automatically switch off with turning, and then now it pops up on the display the word power steering, where then the wheel locks up at any given time and speed making it extremely difficultly to manage driving, turning, and switching lanes.

Steering wheel started jerking. Then steering wheel acted as if it would lock up while driving. Vehicle continues this behavior, also steering will jerk left then will jerk right. At one point in the last month, the power steering light came on briefly, but then went out. Vehicle continues to perform poorly with steering. Very disturbing to try to drive this vehicle at highway speed and now tend to stay off the highway with it altogether. 2006 and 2008 models have already been recalled due to this defect.

I was turning off a highway and my power steering went out again almost turned into car in next lane trying to turn. Car constantly has power steering going out. Also popping turning into parking space or drive way. This is dangerous and I can't afford to buy a different car. Is GM going to fix this issue.

- Brookland , AR, USA

I was driving my 07 Pontiac G6 into walmart parking lot. I went to pull into a parking space and my powering steering locked up. This has happened several times on and off for the past few months. Also, starting in Feb. My wipers have gone out on me two different times. The first time was in a snow storm and this last time in a bad rain storm. Very concerned about a recall that needs to be done on Pontiac G6 2007.

- Canton, OH, USA

When I turned on the car a notification came up on the radio display saying "power steering" and a sound went off as well. The power steering stopped working. I turned the car off, waiting a few seconds, and restarted and the message went away. Now when stopping the steering wheel will move on its own pulling to the left. The problem has been getting more and more frequent since it started.

While driving a "power steering" message will come across at intermittent times. I have brought it in and they have said that there is something(cant remember the exact part) with the steering column that needs to be replaced. I have not replaced this part yet. I'm hoping that they do a recall on the part like they have for other vins. Also while driving when I turn either direction it makes a loud clunking noise.

- Two Rivers, WI, USA

Power steering locks up. Locks up no matter what speed you are going. Found that they replaced this for the 05,06, 08 years but not 07" really" apparently it is still a dangerous issue that has not been resolved by Pontiac. I viewed several complaints and Pontiac does not accept responsibility for the 2007. Not sure how they are getting away with this. This is very dangerous and will go out at any given moment. Very expensive to replace. Must replace or don't drive. I have driven other makes of cars before and they have repaired them if there was a recall. This is my first new Pontiac that they refuse to recall. Next new car will not be Pontiac. Spread the word, don't buy a used Pontiac G6. Mine was brand new when I bought it.

- Crawfordsville, IN, USA

Hearing a popping noise everytime I turn left....getting worse....took to get new tires and brakes and was told I needed to take to Pontiac to find out what the noise was...(.had it in at Pontiac in 2008 for steering)...I paid $95 labor for them to tell me that the steering gear was faulty...my car has low mileage, it is well maintained and the steering gear is faulty..I called Pontiac customer service about this and was told that there was no recall on the steering and I was responsible for the repair...in my search for more information on this I found that I am not alone and that there seems to be a lot of us G6 owners out there that have problems with the steering.....is this not a safety hazard......from what I have read I would say so....I feel its time to demand a recall for steering issues with the G6, there is a great chance they will lock up or you may loss you steering all together from what I have read from other complaints.....when I asked the mechanic at Pontiac if it was safe to drive his answerer was...."I don't know".....what an answer to give to some that is about to pull out of your lot.....really

I have been having powers steering problems with my car for months. Power steering light comes on, the wheel jerks making it hard to control sometimes. At higher speeds it seemed to be worse, and the steering wheel will vibrate. I did bring it to a dealer that told me there was extended warranty coverage on 2005 and 2006 G6 models, but not 2007. I would be responsible for repairs. Yesterday I was in a car accident and I believe the steering problem played a role. The wheel was jerking, prior to the accident. We were driving on an interstate traveling at a faster speed. I don't know how I ended up bouncing off the back tire of a semi truck in the lane next to me, but I was fighting the car to gain control of the vehicle again. Not only with all the "normal" physical forces, but the car still wanted to go its own way. Over compensating and fishtailing the whole way. Thankfully we are all alive, the car probably will be a complete loss.

- Pontiac, IL, USA

On my way home from work with my three year old daughter, I was exiting the freeway and my steering wheel pulled to the left and locked up. With five O'clock traffic, I immediately used my body weight to try to gain control of the vehicle and not flip the car over the ledge of the highway. The vehicles behind me began honking and having to move to the shoulder to avoid hitting me. I stopped and turned off the car to wait for assistance. As I was waiting, I turned the car back on to keep my daughter warm. When I turned the vehicle back on the steering unlocked and the vehicle seemed okay. I drove it to the gas station which was about a mile away. I waited for my partner to arrive so she could follow me home. As we started driving home, about a quarter mile down the road it locked up again. At that point we had the vehicle towed home. We arrived home, and I started the vehicle to find the steering unlocked. Drove it around the block and it lock up. The car is currently parked, and unsafe to drive.

- Savannah, GA, USA

Driving during snowy conditions, I began to lose control and spin out. I attempted to correct my steering, then my car fish tailed. I slid into the ditch, never used my brakes. I took out a sign with the drivers side and hit about 3-4 trees with the front end. My airbags never deployed. Thank goodness no one was injured, but the amount of damage done and how many things I hit, shocks me as to why my airbag never deployed.

- St Germain, WI, USA

Brakes, and brake rotors have been replaced numerous times. Too many electrical malfunctions to mention. Today, my wife said her power steering light came on. It scares me that she has to drive my son to school in this car. I have researched this vehicle, and found numerous safety issues with other owners as well. I have contacted the different dealers for help, to no avail. Why isn't there a recall yet?

- Bigelow , AR, USA

The power steering started shaking from side to side sort of a vibration. Then later it would just quit working. We could still steer the car but it had no power assist. If the car is turned off the steering works for awhile.
