Called GM because I seen where the NHTSA had a recall on all 2007 Pontiac G6 for steering:electric power assist system recall# 15V064000 with recall date: 2/4/2015 but when I called GM they said they dont see a recall for my car even though I am having this same issue and the NHTSA has recalled this problem for vehicles like mine. Was very unhappy with the way GM treated me about this matter. Also want to know why GM has so much information about the steering recall and when I call dealer to have it fixed they dont see the recall on my car

The power steering will go out, going down the road or just sitting still. The steering wheel will shake like crazy. It will stay out until you get pulled off or stop turn the car off and then restart the car. These vehicles have electric power steering there isn't any place to add power steering. It's a fault. I have owned 2 G6 and they have both had an issue, I had an '09 and now have a '07 both with the same power steering issue. It's a major safety hazard, to yourself and fellow drivers.

I have an 07 Pontiac G6 with 137000 miles, with little warning my power steering light came on and I had no power steering. I was on the interstate traveling 70mph. I was able to get off on the next exit and turn my car off/on and it was fine. Well it happened again abt 30 minutes later. After doing research it said that some recalls have been made due to this issue but using my VIN number my car is not elligable. I'm at a loss, what do I do now?

My power steering is going out. It works but goes out after driving for a little bit. Or doesn't work when the car is started. Restarting the car is a temporary fix. The wheel also jerks back and forth when still. I see this is recalled for a 07 Pontiac G6 but not for my VIN.

The steering on the G6 is hard and often incapacitated. Make loud noises and even though the power steering fluid has been flushed, replaced, and refilled it is still happening. My teenage daughters drive this car and it is unsafe. This needs to be addressed immediately via a recall notice!

February 2017 I was driving and my steering wheel locked up on me. I turned the ignition off & then turned the car back on & it never happened again until 11/13/17. I was driving & my steering wheel locked up. I almost caused an accident. I called greenwood Chevrolet hubbard to inquire about any recalls & I was told there were no recalls at this time & the recalls that were issued I was serviced for. 11/13/17 was not the first time that I called to inquire about recalls for my car. I call often when I see other GM cars have recalls. I called GM to inquire about a recall & I was given the same information that greenwood gave. I took my car to Firestone complete auto care on 11/15/17 & they made me aware of recall # 15356. They found the recall information when they ran the diagnostic test. They suggested that I take my car to the dealership & let the recall fix the issue. When I call the dealership and GM I was told that the recall expired on March 12, 2017. I never received and type of correspondence about the recall. What if I get in a car accident and harm someone else or myself. I feel that GM should have to pay to fix a faulty part that they installed into their product. I also keep getting a check air bag signal on my car every so often. I'm almost scared to drive my car. I also called the dealership that I purchased the car from and they stated that I would've had to call if I was having the problem then they would've honored the recall. I asked the dealership how can I call about a problem if it's not happening at the present time and why wasn't I notified about the recall. The dealership is diane sauer Chevrolet phone: [xxx]. I don't know if my air bag is takata; however, something is wrong for the signal to keep flashing that it needs to be checked. My phone number is [xxx] and my name is [xxx]. information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I was driving my Pontiac G6 through my neighborhood around 30-35 mph coming down a hill the steering wheel started to shake rapidly where I completely lost control of the vehicle then it pulls to the right and hits a park van. The air bags deployed, and I get sent to the hospital. I'm not sure what the reasoning of the crash but something along the lines of the steering wheel and steering components.

The power steering on my vehicle continued to fail at any time while driving, causing all loss of power steering until the car was restarted. This recall is listed on the NHTSA website. When I returned this to the dealership they told me that since this recall was released in February 2016, which wasn't even true based off the website, that they would not cover the cost, and the repairs would be over 1000 dollars, and additional 200 dollars for the technician checking my vehicle.

My car which was previously owned by my parents was taken in for a recall of the shift cable. Since the repair of the shift cable it has broken two more times. Once while in motion to park in a driveway where my husband almost drove into the garage, the other time it broke about a year and a half later while I was parking it in a parking lot the car lunged forward almost hitting the car in front. The car never had any problems with this part until it was supposedly corrected by the dealer. Im afraid its going to break while I am driving on the highway and I wont be able to stop or control the car. When the shift cable broke I could put the car in any position the shifter just kept going up and down if I didn't have the emergency break on I would have crashed into the car in front. If my husband didn't have the car with the emergency break he would have crashed into the garage.I have a phot of the broken part and notified General Motors twice since they repaired the part prior to it breaking.
