Power steering faulted out in my car with no warning. Car was parked thank god car started gave power steering fault steering wheel would not move and car would not either. Taken to shop when kicked back in after restarting car 9 times. Parked at dealership then did not move since had to be towed to another dealership to have diagnostics done. Steering wheel shook really bad while driving and sitting still until it stopped working all together at the dealership. If this would have happened while driving it could have been really bad. This happened with no warning at all went to start my vehicle and just happened. Vehicle has been fixed I am looking for reimbursement due to recall infomation assocciated with this issue.

My steering shakes uncontrollably while driving and non-driving it stiffens up where I can't turn left or right. When I start the car it stiffens as well. I took it to a certified mechanic they say that its a recall on it. What's my next step because the mechanic says he can't fix it. I need and would like for my car to be fix.

While driving my car on the freeway, the instrument panel lit up and a beep twice indicated an issue with power steering and the car no longer maintains power steering. There is a recall for this issue 14772 for the make and model of my car but my car was not included in the recall. This is a major issue that should cover all models affected it's difficult to steer without the power steering. I've already had my car towed twice to a dealer that cannot find a problem and I've spent over $200 to have my battery cables cleaned which is what I was told was the problem.

Driving on freeway and power steering sign flashed without warning on screen and then steering wheel locked going 65 mph. Causing me to almost crash and now power steering does not work. Now power steering does not work. I'm seeing in 2014 there were many recalls on this vechicle and for some odd reason, my VIN was not included this is a common problem for this car and should not be responsible. Ive called GM and they will not help me.

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?
