The electrical power steering on the Pontiac G6 2007 locks up while driving. Driving on the highway or on neighborhood roads the power steering locked up and steering becomes difficult more effort put into turning the wheel a small direction. This issue also happens when car is in park and just starting, oftentimes restarting car can fix issue temporarily

When I turn my steering wheel several things happen, a click sound going clockwise, and I hear squeaky or whining sound when I turn either way. I hear a grinding sound coming from the front tires. My signal doesn't shut off after I complete a turn.

Power steering message pops up and it makes it very hard to turn. This may happen when you crank the vehicle or will happen while driving the vehicle. It makes it pull to the side. It is very dangerous. Also, my car has a problem with the gas(fuel pump) the fuel pump leaks fast onto the gas tank. That is a fire hazard. It is also horrible on my gas mileage. There needs to be a recall and if there is one already or needs to be expanded. I've had nothing but trouble out of this vehicle. And spent too much money on it. There something wrong with the electric box and it throws codes for multiple problems, and when those problems are fixed it doesn't help. It's costing people money for nothing.

My steering wheel suddenly gets hard to move. It happens when im on the freeway going 60+ mph and my power steering pump just completely goves out. I can pull over and turn my car off and back on and it stops doing it til I get back up to the speed limit. I was told by a repair shop that my power steering was covered by a GM recall, and I cant get anyone to find the recall information. My concern is why is it just a few makes recalled if the entire year of that make and model are faulty.

I was driving down the highway at about 70mph, all of a sudden the car beeped, but I didn't see any warning lights on the dashboard. Immediately I noticed that the steering wheel had locked and was extremely difficult to turn. I was able to tilt it just enough to change lanes, but I was afraid I would be unable to make any sharper turn than that. I exited the highway and as I suspected, it was extremely difficult to turn the wheel. If this had happened right before a steep curve in the road and I would not have had time to slow down and I would have run right off the road, unable to turn the wheel! I see that this has happened to other peoples' G6 just in the last few days. Please fix our power steering! engine still turns on and off, nothing wrong with the way it drives, just the steering wheel is stuck.

Power steering went out while driving 65 on a fairly straight 65 mph hwy. The faulty part is the torque sensor assembly wich there is a recall on for 2007 vehicles manufactured up until June 2016 I believe. GM recall # 14772....expansion of recall 14V-153. Should recall include all 2007 Pontiac G6 vehicles as this is extremely dangerous.

Airbag is not on will not turn on. The electronic motor like all the other recalls GM should be taking care of is going out and locking up steering. I would advise anyone to get an attorney and file against GM for not taking care of a dangerous problem

Electrical systems that control power steering weaken when switching gears. Power steering causes lights to dim in car and headlamps outside of car at night and during the day. Lighting fails on the front passenger side causing right turn signal to malfunction and entire assembly to appear dim and not at all when signal is activated. This occurs at all times of vehicle use: Stationary, city driving, and highway driving.

There is a bumping or clunking noise when the steering wheel is turned slightly at low speed or while still, as if there is a linkage problem. Apparently, this is a common issue for this car, as GM has issued tsb #06-02-32-007F. However, since this is a steering issue, shouldn't there be a recall to correct or repair?
