2007 Pontiac G6 steering problem. Clunking noise when turning left to right. Purchased this vehicle in 2008 from prescott Honda, used, noticed clunking sound and prescott Honda called a Pontiac and had the Pontiac dealer in prescott AZ tell them what to do which was to grease the steering column. This was around 34,000 miles now at 53,000 in 3/2/10, the sound and problem is back.

These past few months I have had a problem with power steering and just the other day as I was driving on a highway I almost got in an accident because out of nowhere power steering locked up on me and I couldn't control my wheels anymore...I somehow managed to get over to the last lane and turn off my car and then few minutes later I turned it back on and it was ok...few hours later same thing...and it has been happening every day since than...I do have the 10 year warranty on my car but im not sure if that is covered under it...please do something about this...this is insane and god forbid if something happens GM is looking at a huge law suit here!

My 2007 G6 lost steering yesterday and I slammed my brakes and skid across four lanes. Luckily it was night and there were no cars. I turned my car of at the gas station then back on and the steering returned. Then today I saw the recall for GM but the Pontiac G6 is not on there. GM needs to put them on the recall also before someone really gets hurt. I also ran over a dog last week and killed it, what if that was a child?

While driving my 2007 Pontiac G6 I heard a ding, ding, ding and my power steering went dead. I'm a very big man and could hardly control the car. I was in a school zone and almost hit a crowd of 4 kids before getting the car to stop. The car has only 37,000 miles on it and is more dangerous than anything being investigated from Toyota. I have read that this has been a problem for several years and I'm wondering why you as a safety division of our country, you can bailout GM but you won't make their cars safe to drive?

When brakes are applied, vibrations travel through steering column. The vehicle can not stop suddenly if required due to loss of control of the vehicle.

I have a 2007 Pontiac G6. On at least 5 occasions I have lost my power steering. Usually while backing out of a parking spot. It also happened once when I went over a frost heave. This has all been within the last month. Last night I went over another frost heave and my service air bag came on. It stayed on the next 4-5 times I drove my car. It finally shut off this afternoon.

Steering assist motor shorted resulting in loss of power steering. Could have resulted in accident if I had been in a curve or turning. I have repaired it, but GM is not responding to requests for reimbursement due to warranty being up. Car has approx 40,000 miles. Car has also had leak in the fuel rail at 25,967 miles and a fuel pump short at 1,548 miles.

While turning right or left usually at a slow speed or from a complete stop making a sharp turn, the steering pops, you can hear and feel it in the steering wheel. It started at about 50,000 miles and has continued while getting gradually worse. I took it in way back when it was still under warranty and told that the steering arm needed to be replaced but I could not afford it at the time so I waited and now unfortunately my extended warranty has expired at 81,000 miles. Recently (just after my warranty expired!) the passenger air bag light keeps coming on and off while my husband or I am sitting in the passenger seat. We commute 2 hours a day on a very dangerous pass. We are very concerned about this. I will be checking with my locate dealer to find out if there is a recall on the airbag.

At around 51,000 miles my Pontiac G6 (2007) began veering to the left and locking up. I heard a clunking noise several days before this happened when I turned the wheel from left to right. The clunk started off somewhat quiet and then got louder and cause it to become difficult to turn. When I would brake the car would shake and the steering wheel would turn left and right rapidly on it's own. I had all my brake pads replaced, even though the mechanic said there was nothing wrong with the brakes. I had the steering rack replaced. The problem went away for 3 months and then returned. The steering wheel began locking again making it difficult to recover from a normal turn. I had the steering rack replaced again. Now 6 weeks later the clunking and shaking and steering problems are back. Complaints of this problem are all over the internet. I have had this steering rack replaced 2 times and now it needs to be done again. All these replacements have happened over a 9 month period. It is extremely dangerous to drive when this happens and needs to be addressed.-

2007 Pontiac G6 steering noise " clunk " when turning to the left.

- Farmville, VA, USA

I purchased my G-6 used. Immediately I noticed a popping in the steering. It seemed to get worse. I took the car back to the place I purchased it. They stated that is normal for electric assist steering. I went to the GMC dealer, they stated they could not find a problem. The clunking got so bad, I returned to the GMC dealer at which time they said that the steering assembly et al had to be replaced. They replaced it under a factory warranty at that time approximately 1 year ago. About 1 month ago, the same thing started again. They told me again, nothing is wrong. The steering clunks, feels like it sticks and is very hard to control the car. I just hope that no one is seriously injured because GMC/Pontiac will not do a recall to change the system to a better safer design.

I purchased a 2007 ponatic G6 brand new in Nov 2006 and have been having these problems from day one. General Motors and the dealership are not trying to help me and the car is a big safety hazard.

Loss of power steering. A chime and warning will occur, but power steering may still work at times. Then without warning there will be no power steering. I took the car in and the dealer stated that they do not know the reason. I had noticed that NHTSA peo7023 has documented this problem. So I brought this to the dealers attention and they stated that it probably falls into the reasoning stated in above action number.

My Pontiac 2007 G6 as vibration in the searing wheel while driving. Pontiac has similar complaints about this issue. I think it should be a recall instead of the customer paying for it. This is not something that other customers and I could create. I had gotten an estimate and the bill was for eight hundred plus dollars to make the repairs and I still have the warranty. Pontiac still wont fix it. I noticed the problem in Nov. Of 2008. Before I could get it looked at my car was involved in a hit and run. The hit and run occurred on the 12th of Dec, 2008.
