Transmission floor shift cable malfunctioned when I was driving and something broke, I think it could have been a shift cable. Also my brake lights keep coming on evn when I don't apply the brakes the brake lights stay on. And also my steering is hard to steer occasionally, which makes it dangerous when using on windy roads. Both in the city and mountainmountain highways. I had recently found out about the recalls when I was troubleshooting why my tranny cable broke the other day. The transmision failed just recently, the other symptoms started happening about 0 to 40 day ago.

1) power steering unit seems to be going in out while driving. After it acts up there is a lot of plat in the steering until the car is shut off. There has been a recall on same year model of G6's for same issue. Started last summer then stopped over the winter, then started again this spring. 2) passenger airbag sensor doesn't work all of the time, or will shut off while someone is sitting in the seat. Know recall on other models of same year like above. Has done this since we bought it from the dealer. They told us it would cost us $$$$ to fix it.

The contact owns a 2007 Pontiac G6. While operating the vehicle, the steering wheel suddenly began to shake. Eventually, the power steering malfunctioned and the steering wheel became very difficult to turn in either direction. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the rubber power steering hose melted from the hot exhaust and power steering fluid leaked out. The vehicle was repaired. The local dealer was not notified of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The VIN was invalid. The failure mileage was 82,000.

I have a 2007 Pontiac G6 when I heard abut the recall I typed my VIN# into this wesite and it showed my car wasnt under this recall, however my power steering is doing the same thing that is listed under the recall. When starting the car the steering is very loose then out of no where while driving it tightens up and barely allows U to make turns. This has happend while driving on the freeway as well as well as city streets. Im not sure why 2006-2009 models are under recall for this particular but apparently whlie researching this problem the 2007 model is not included. This is very dangerous I took to a a GM certified dealership and was told I can $850 to have fixed.. clearly I dont have that type of money and why should I have to pay when its having the same issues for why the G6 has been recalled for further more why my main question is why the 2007 model is not included when clearly alot of other people are having this same issue.. no one has contacted me about a resolution which is very fustrating to say the least. This has been goin on for over a year now.

My 2007 Pontiac G6 will at random times lose the power steering in the middle of driving. It is very difficult to get pulled off of the road without power steering. There has been a recall on 2007 G6's but I was told by Pontiac that my car is not one of the cars recalled. I explained that my car is doing exactly what the recall states happens but they still said my car is not covered under the recall. It'a risky to drive the car when it randomly does this. This has happened on highways going 70 mph as well as on city streets. My only option according to Pontiac is to pay to fix it myself.

The power steering will turn off randomly while driving. Restarting the car reactivated the power steering, then randomly will shut off again while driving. Happens at any speed and whether turning or going straight.

We have a 2007 Pontiac G6, the base 4 door model. The electric power steering stopped working suddenly exactly as described in NHTSA campaign number: 15V064000 the belt is still there and after a couple of hours the sensor started working again, but who knows when it swill cut out again. There is a recall for this for 2007 Pontiac G6 but our particular VIN is not listed. There are hundreds of complaints on this issue but for some reason NHTSA has not expanded this recall to all 2007 G6 and the manufacturer can care less. My question is at what point does NHTSA force a manufacturer to recall something this obvious" does someone have to die and their family be on 20/20 before NHTSA moves their bureaucratic asses" from all the complaints its obvious all 2007 G6 have this potential issue. For the love of god, someone there please contact the manufactures on this issue and have them expand this recall!!!!!!
