Every time I turn my steering wheel it makes a popping / scraping like sound. The steering is incredibly tight when turning. The car has less than 12,800 miles on it and has never been in an accident.

I've had the power steering recall done a couple of years ago and recently 3 times I have been driving down a state highway in my Pontiac G6 and the power steering would be displayed and then lose steering altogether until I finally able to pull over and restart the vehicle then it works. I have also noticed that while driving and making small turning adjustments that the steering wheel would vibrate. When this happens and the steering goes out it makes for a very dangerous situation! my steering worked fine before doing the recall and afraid to even drive it now.

The power steering keeps failing on me when I drive and sometimes stays off all day no matter how many times I restart the car. The first time this happened I was on the highway with my family and it did not come back untill I got home and restarted the car. The second time happened on my way to work around a corner and I almost went off of the road. Otherwise it keeps turning on and off on me every day (mostly off).

I have sent in multiple complaints in regards to my 2008 Pontiac G6 loss of power steering problem with no results. The dealer said it wasn't part of the recall so I would have to pay to fix it but everywhere I look I see that it is a recall. NHTSA campaign number: 14V153000 is for my year, make and model so I would like to know what should I do.

Rack and pinion failure can lead to a car accident. The rack and pinion was replaced around 3 years ago due to the same problem. The steering is stiff when turning the steering wheel.

Sudden loss of electric power steering, leaving driver unable to turn the wheel to steer in either direction. Causing the car to be unusable for its inability to change direction at any given time increasing the likelihood of a crash. The monitor displaying the clock just had a message that read "power steering". my experience was when the car was stationary and traveling at a low speed 5 mph, I would then park it safely, turn it off and use alternate transportation. This would happen 1-2 times in a 24 hour period of time. This complaint is in response to my VIN not being covered under the campaign recall # 14V153000, although my make/model/year are all listed under the recall, just not my specific car.

It first started with the car being parked and starting, the power steering light would come on and the steering wheel would violently vibrate. It took several times of turning the ignition on and off before it would start working. Now, it does it at both stop lights and while traveling, at various speeds; the light comes on and the power steering goes out. According to research online, this has happened to similar vehicles in this model year.

- Middletown, OH, USA

When I start my car, I receive a power steering warning and the steering wheel will not move. The steering wheel will shake and there is a knocking noise. This also happens sometimes when im at a red light. To get it back to normal I have to cut the car off and cut it back on.

- Galloway, OH, USA

My biggest concern is the power steering. When I start the car, it only works about 50% of the time. I have to turn he ignition off and restart the car 3-4 times to get it to work properly. If it goes out while I'm driving, I could easily get hurt or hurt someone else. My seat belt sensor doesn't work. It beeps and dings at me while I'm driving, very distracting...makes me jump when I'm concentrating on the road. I had to replace the same headlight 3-4 times in 3 months. The harness was all melted when the mechanic got it out. Not only is it illegal for me to drive without all lights working but it's dangerous. Also, I received a letter about my brake lights...that they may not light while braking, or illuminate while I'm not braking. It said not to take it to be fixed if there was no problem. Can someone please tell me how I can possibly know there's a problem before someone rear ends me?

Power steering failed suddenly while in motion, after 20 minutes of driving. Drove straight to my mechanic and he said the problem was electrical, that there was enough fluid in the car. Pontiac special warranty covered power assist module to be replaced. Same thing failed less than 24 hours later. I was unable to move my wheel at all. No warning. Pontiac will not approve of steering column to be replaced. I feel totally unsafe driving my car. But she was driving perfectly before this.

Takaka recall my power steering light has came on and the steering wheel has began to shake progressively worse since. Please help.

- Northgleen, CO, USA

The air bags have never deployed and the air bag light stays on. The powersteering is electric and not pump assist and it keeps going out and now may have to replace entire sterring column. Have called GMC to complain and still mo recall has been made. Google my issue abd found that there are alot of people with my car that have the same problem. Feel helpless

- Duncanville, TX, USA

A year ago I had the power steering column replaced due to a recall. Yesterday my power steering went out and my mechanic said it was the sensor (the same part that was recalled). Yet the warranty from the last one I had replaced was up. I called GM to see about the deficient part and they said there was nothing they could do for me. Also, they do no sell the sensor to customers, only to a dealership - so I have to replace the whole steering column just to get a new sensor - the part that I just had replaced from the recall! my question is now do I have to pay for this same problem every year because they are making deficient parts that they can't stand behind?!

- Jonesville, MI, USA

Power steering went out, nearly went into ditch. Now sometimes shakes the wheel intermittently while driving and while sitting. Sometimes doesn't work at all - comes and goes intermittently, parked, has not went totally out again while driving but has intermittent shakes. There was a recall but somehow (according to GM) my specific car was not covered when most of 2008 and 3 years before and 2 years after were 100% covered/recalled (build date few months window in late 2007?). if 5 years of production on at least 3 vehicle models gets recalled, why not a couple months in the middle of that?

- Augusta, MI, USA

My air bags don't work in my car. My car was kept outside all these years. My cruise control doesn't work at all and my volume for the radio and illumination of the steering wheel doesn't work. I never owned a car that had issues with an airbag. I'd be willing to speak to the media and tv personnel.

2008 Pontiac G6 power steering failure. The power steering fails while driving causing dangerous driving conditions and near crashes. I have almost driven off the road several times, into other vehicles, and across my front lawn when trying to turn out of the driveway. The vehicle was taken into a Chevrolet dealership on 12/18/17 for recall #14118 (electric power steering). Under this recall, dealers are instructed to replace the eps motor. My eps motor was replaced. However, replacing this motor does not resolve the problem. The car is now rendered useless to me because it is too dangerous to drive. I was informed by the dealership that any other work performed to resolve the power steering failure would have to be paid out-of-pocket by me. GM is well aware of this defect (hence the recalls) and should be liable for alleviating the problem created by this defect.

- Canton, MI, USA

When I started the car, the steering wheel became very tight and I would have to struggle to turn the steering wheel, while sitting still the steering wheel would vibrate. Started it up the next day and it turned with no problem.

- Garfield Hts, OH, USA

There is a current recall out for certain models of the G6 for electronic steering assist failure. As well as U joint issues. I believe my car is affected. My power steering only works correctly when its under 70 degrees. And it only works for a short time. Ive owned this car for 5 years and never once had a full day where the steering worked like it should. Dealer says my car is not affected and wants me to pay for a new steering motor. As for the U joint issue with steering. Ive spent well over $2,000 on trying to get my steering/suspension fixed and it still has problems. I have to get the vehicle aligned every month. The steering either jolts to one side when going over a bump. Or another way when flooring it. Its beyond dangerous! when turning a corner, you have to straighten out the wheel yourself or else the car will continue to go where the wheel it turned. I fear taking this car on the highway. After getting vehicle aligned, alignment only works for 2 weeks, then it back to where problems started.
