I was driving my 2007 Pontiac G6 when the steering wheel locked up. On my screen for my radio it said "power steering". thank goodness I was only going 10 mph in my driveway because I could not have controlled it if I was going faster. My daughter and boyfriend were in the car with me and it scared me because had I wrecked, my daughter may have suffered injuries. I am not driving my car until I get this problem fixed. I have called around and found that there is a recall on G4's and G5's but not G6's. I have read so many online forums about people having the same problems with their G6's. I think GM needs to step up and take responsibility of this before somebody seriously gets hurt. It is an expensive repair (about 1,000$) and with the economy the way it is people just do not have the money to fix that. I am so scared that I will cause a wreck because of my car being faulty and someone else may cause a wreck and run into me or my family because of their faulty G6. I am in the process of getting my car serviced but would really appreciate it if I found out how to get ahold of GM and ask them to fix my car because I have only had it for 6 months.

2007 Pontiac G6, 77,000 miles. The steering wheel began to shake a lot. Then I notice when you slightly turn the wheel left or right it knocks. I have been receiving power steering warnings on my dash. When this happens I turn off the car and restart it, the problem goes away then restarts again. I don't know why the 2007 G6 was not on the recall list. I've notice a lot of other people on G6 car websites have had the same problem. Surely this is a recall. It is definitely a safety issue. I have a appointment to get my car looked at next week.

Grinding noise comes from steering column when accelerating and turning at same time (I.e. turning from one road to another after stopping at signal or sign). Has done it since 2008. Bought the car new in Aug 07. Also, driver's side window will go down like it is supposed to when door is opened but intermittently goes back up all the way right after door is opened. Have to hit the unlock or lock button to get it back into place.

Steering is popping and acts like it wants to lock up. Called dealer they said nothing was wrong with it. Called GM they took note. I've had it in the shop for the same problem 3 different times within a yr they repositioned and lubed the I-shaft. Never fixed the problem. My drivers side front area there is a popping noise when its cold. That also was looked at 3 times. I was told there were no problems. It still makes the noise. Actually its getting louder. I was told by GM to take it in and have it diagnosed. I have under 50,000 with no warranty. They want me to pay for something that was supposed to be fixed. And have someone look at something they say doesn't exist. The popping in the steering and left front is still occurring every day but is worse when its cold.

I bought a brand new 2008 Pontiac G6 base model 4 door 2.4L. At less than 20,000 miles I started getting brake problems. I brought it into the dealership and they told me that I needed the brakes turned and grinned. I refused to let them do that because other Pontiac G6 owners have complained about the same issues and when they got theirs turned and grinned the same problems with the brakes occurred thereafter. Now (@24,000) I have warped brakes, worn out pads, and a defective worn out I-shaft(steering rod). I brought my car in to the dealership last week, they replaced one of the rotors in the rear, replaced all pads and grinned and turned the rest of the rotors. They claimed my car was fixed but the second I drove out of the dealership the same warping noise was apparent coming from the brakes when I hit my brakes and also when the car was in motion. I was still hearing the clunking noise coming from the steering column. I have done extensive research and found that many americans around are experiencing the same issues with their brakes and I-shaft. This is a serious concern because last week at one point when I hit my brakes my car was not stopping. I kept hitting it and finally it gave in. This is a serious safety concern and Pontiac/GM needs to do something about it before they get the same problems Toyota customers have gone through! view website below to view customers experiencing the same problems. Please do not ignore this complaint..this is a serious issue! do not wait until someone loses their life to this problem. Let's enforce GM to recall this model and car so many americans can stop dishing out hundreds of dollars to fix problems with this car that continues to be a problem once fixed! thank you

I turned into a gas station and the steering locked up on my 2007 Pontiac G6 4 cylinder on Oct 26 2010. The steering was replaced after we used what little we had in savings. Believing that the problem was solved I drove it 15 miles into town and the steering locks up again. We cannot afford to fix it and it has sat in the shop for two weeks. We were surprised to find out this is a major problem when we looked on line and saw there were so many others that are having the same problem their G6 cars. Surely this is a recall. It is definitely a safety issue.

I own a 2007 Pontiac G6 (bought as new in July 2007). The steering column is making very load clunking noises when turned at a stop or at low speeds. I am very concerned that the steering will fail while driving. I am also disappointed (to put it mildly) that despite this problem being very common among other owners of the same vehicle and having read 100's of the same complaint that GM has not issued a recall on the steering box problem. I know the us government (aka the taxpayer!) owns GM via bailout and I'm sure they don't want the negative publicity of the auto-maker having to fix a design flaw, but you are dealing with lives here. If there are fatalities due to not fixing the problem, do you think that publicity will be any less severe (assuming it ever gets reported). Please, force GM to repair this known defect before someone gets killed!

The contact owns a 2007 Pontiac G6. While turning approximately 10 mph he heard a loud knocking noise and felt a jerk in the steering wheel. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where he was informed that this was a common failure among the vehicle but it was not repaired. The failure continued to occur intermittently while making a left or right turn. The failure mileage was 59,000 and the current mileage was 61,000.

I have been receiving power steering warnings on my dash so I could my car to the dealer. The dealer told me that the power steering assist motor with column needs to be replaced and the cost would $1200. Why isn't a recall on the 2007 G6 because it is the same problem that 2006 has" I don't know what I am going to do because I'm on a fixed income and can't afford that. Again I would like to know why there is not a recall" Pontiac knew that 2007 had the same problem that the 2006 has.

My daughter purchased a 2007 Pontiac G6 with 24,000 miles on it and it now has 39,000 miles. Sometime within those 13,000 miles it has developed a clunking noise whenever the steering wheel is turned most noticeably at low speeds. I have pinpointed the noise to be coming from the steering box or steering shaft. I am afraid that this will lead to steering control failure if this problem is not corrected soon. I am aware that many other people are experiencing the same problem. Please have GM issue a recall on this year model Pontiac G6 as soon as possible.

I have a Pontiac 2007 G6 the other day while driving the power steering locked up and I went into a very swallow ditch. I was not hurt and the car was not damaged, however if it would have been the canal on the other side of the road I would have been kill. All my fluids are check and change on a regular basis and there are no leaks. This is definitely a manufacture error and needs to be look and this will be a very expensive fix and I am not fixing it my self. Nor am I going to pay to have fix when the manufacture should pay to fix it. There should never be a problem with a vehicle while it is in motion at any time no matter what year or make !! please look into this matter I could have been kill do to a defect and this problem needs to be fix now !!!!!!!!!

While driving home from work I completely lost steering capabilities. Fortunately, I was in front of my house so I veered into the ditch in my yard. Had this occurred while on the highway/road it could have been fatal. I immediately went to a local repair shop to have the vehicle repaired.

- Lehigh Acres, FL, USA

The contact owns a 2007 Pontiac G6. The contact stated that the power steering would continuously fail when pulling into a residential parking space or pulling out of a tight spot at low speed. The power steering would then reset itself once the vehicle was turned off and then restarted. The dealer recalibrated the power steering motor assembly and advised that the entire power steering motor assist would need to be replaced if the failure persisted. The manufacturer did not provide any assistance. The failure mileage was 36,500.
