As I am driving down the road my power steering locks up and I am hardly able to turn the steering wheel!! dangerous called GM said my car isn't in the recall as some of the others! well when I die or some one else does GM will SE my face in court! $900 to fix the problem don't have it! we own a auto repair shop cant fix it need to have it programmed! this has started earlier but then went away so I canceled my appointment at dealer now the wont fix it. Well since I own a auto shop I know bringing my car in when the problem isn't present does no good. How you going to find a problem when it is intermittent. I sometimes need to pull over shut my car off and restart it and it usually takes care of it for a few days. Happens more and more the longer and more miles I put on the car!

The power steering light keeps coming on in my 2007 Pontiac G6 after a minute of being on the road in motion making the steering almost impossible. It's happened on both the highway and city streets regardless of the speed. It caused me to almost have two accidents already! but there is no where to add the steering fluid. I took it to multiple mechanics and they told me there is no reservoir for power steering fluid in the car & that its a steering column issue that's over $1000 to repair. The dealers say it's a manufacturer problem. They told me to contact GM dealer to check for a recall. I call various GM dealers and they told me there is no recall for that. This is rediculous. It is not safe for me to drive this car the way it is & it is their fault that this is happening! I've always preferred to buy american cars but this is what you get from the american companies!! I can no longer drive my car because it's not safe. This is the only car I have making it difficult for me to get to work.

I've had several problems (4) to where my power steering will go out. I wouldn't be able to turn my steering wheel properly. I've had to get this fix multiple of times and decided to check and see if there was a recall on my vehicle for it. I don't see it so I decided to right a review about it. I hope this helps someone else not just me that fears for this to happen to them. Also, the driver (front) and brake/reverse lights has went out. I can't seem to get anyone that knows how to fix my brake/reverse lights. I've got my driver side fixed several time as well and it still tends to go out on me.

I bought this car brand new. It is a Pontiac G 6 GT convertible with an optional gtp high output engine and drivetrain. This is a top of the line vehicle with all options. Since new, the vehicle does not steer well. It lurches unexpectedly from side to side when going around turns or just straight ahead. It has been very well taken care of and only has 28,000 miles on it as of today. It is still in the 36,000 mile GM warranty period. There has been a snapping/popping noise in the steering wheel/column since new when you turn the steering wheel from side to side, sitting still or driving. The steering feels very unstable. Recently the vehicle started constantly pulling to the right. If I let off the steering wheel it will drive off the road. The steering wheel shakes back and forth and the steering feels loose and bumpy. The entire steering system needs to be replaced from the steering wheel to the wheels. This steering is electric. The parts are very expensive. The rack and pinion is also making noise and bumpy, needs replacement. The wheels appear out of alignment and the tires appear to be wearing on the outside edges. This is basically a brand new vehicle. It has been kept in a garage in Florida. No rust. Looks and drives new. Except for the electric steering system. This is a known problem with these vehicles. Internet search and dealer phone call confirmed that. GM has several recalls and extended warranties for this, but my car does not qualify. The steering system is maintenance free. There is nothing the customer can do. The steering column sensor ring is defective also. The upper steering column needs to be replaced also. This could cost well over a $1500 just for parts. This vehicle is unsafe to drive. It steers it self. The traction control seems defective and unreliable also.

While driving or stationary as I turn the wheel either way I here a clacking noise. I thought it was my C.V. axles but my joints are still sealed. So I began to think it was my steering column because after a certain amount of turning it for really really hard to turn then a load clack then it would pass the stress point turn easier but still make the clacking noise when turning it back. That would happen in both directions.
