My eps keeps malfunctioning and I lose the ability to steer my car. I've done research on the recalls but, can not solve my problems. This is my only vehicle and I feels it's too dangerous to drive.

1.when driving with the cruise control on it will turn off for no reason. 2. when the car is on the driver's seat gets really warm and the seat is not on. 3. the traction controller coming on while driving.

Traction has been turned off and will not come back on with pressing the traction button. While braking the car pulls quickly to the left, it's really bad while on the highway at a great amount of speed. While braking to go around a curve the steering pulls the other direction then what your turning so you have to keep a firm grip on the steering wheel

Ive had alignments done but the car still pulls to one side. Does not drive straight or align with steering wheel. To drive straight my steering wheel must be turned to the right. It always pulls to one side and sometimes it will even jerk while driving. Passenger airbag will be off when passenger is in seat, and then sometimes will be on when noone is in the seat. The vehicle hydroplanes veey easily even with new tires on.

I have had a recurring problem for the past 3 years, where the power steering, traction control and electronic stability control all atop working at the same time. I have sought assistance from GM. The dealership tells me the car isn't storing a code. I have provided them with pictures, but they choose not to help. The problem is a known problem on other years of the Pontiac G6. GM website says they fix the problem on a case by case basis. Picture and video proof mean nothing if the car isn't storing a code. Codes flash across display that say "check power steering " "service traction" "service ESC". only way for me to clear is to shut off car and turn back on. All peer steering is lost when problem occurs. Although I've listed. Only one date, which was the most recent, the problem occurred in 1/2014, twice in 7/2014, 12/2016 and in 3/2017.

I have wanted one of these cars since they first come out before I bought it, but now I hate it!! I have replaced the hubs 4 times on one side and twice on the other, thank goodness the first time the left side was replaced it was covered by a warranty, I called GM someone was suppose to get back with me but of chorus I've heard nothing, also have replaced headlights numerous times and wiring harness once because it was fried. This car has been nothing but trouble since I got it, I will be buying another car soon and it won't be a GM or Pontiac I promise you that!!

As I was driving around a curve another vehicle was on my lane heading the opposite direction as me so I turns quickly to avoid collision and I lost control of the brakes and wheels. Upon impact with a light post no air bags on my side came out.

Vehicle has approximately 50000. Since approximately 35000 miles, the lugs on the front passenger side wheel have came loose, for no apparent reason causing the vehicle to shake at around 25mph.
