G6

  • 204,000 miles
While driving on a street and also on the highway my power steering warning will appear on the info display and all my gauges such as gas and speed will fluctuate with the needle constantly going up and down. I can not tell how much gas I have or the speed I am going. The car then seems to become jerky in its movements so I pull over and turn it off and wait a few minutes, but then it continues to happen moments later. I see that there has been a recall for power steering however my VIN shows I have no outstanding recalls at this time.

Anothee issue is that my service air bag pops up across the radio sometimes

When steering wheel is started making a whining noise.. checked power steering fluid, added power steering fluid & steering became stiff almost unturnable. About 40 miles later rechecked power steering fluid N it wasn't reading on the dipstick again. Then noticed something leaking under vehicle on the driver's side kinda close to wheel. Almost thinking the pump has a hole or something in it. I'm not for sure on that but will probably B bring it to a mechanic tomorrow to get it checked out.

I have replaced the alternator, the electric power steering assist motor and air filter on multiple occasions and, after doing some research, have found that my car is experiencing every issue th's to have seen in previous GM vehicle safety recalls. Unfortunately, my VIN number seems to be one of those that has not been identified has having had those issues although it currently is experiencing them. I want to lodge a complaint that the VIN number search tool is not accurate enough to determine the validity of a claim. I say this because even on the NHTSA website, the tool says that not all VIN numbers that are experiencing issues with a recall have actually been associated to any recalls. As there do exist current recalls for all 07 Pontiac G6 models, there are no recalls related to my specific VIN number. But, all of the recalls directly mention every issues that my car is currently experiencing. Including, the transmission not properly shifting due to a madness or break in the shift cable, the power steering motor suddenly dying, the car experiencing a sudden loss of power, etc. Each of these issues is directly mentioned in a recall for G6 models in general, but for some reason, not for my car, specifically?

Sudden lose of power steering. After car starts up, power steering is present, however after vehicle is moving, sudden lose of the power steering occurs and notifications on dashboard. GM states this is not related to NHTSA bulletin 15V064000, however it is for the same exact make, model, year, and part that is affected. The GM recall number is 14772. This is a major safety concern as I can no longer rely on the vehicle to drive as expected without knowing when the power steering will be lost. Serious potential of crash as turning may not be available while in motion. It occurs for every power up of the vehicle. Please have GM investigate that more 2006-2007 Pontiac G6 vehicles with that same torque sensor be impacted by recall 14722.

My 2007 Pontiac G6 has had the power steering going out while driving. The warning light comes on. If I turn the car off, the power steering usually comes back on when I restart the car. The last 2 twos, it goes back off almost immediately and I have no power steering. It is very hard to control the turning of the car.
