My daughter was driving her car down the interstate at about 65mph when all of the sudden the power steering malfunctions. She immediately pulls the car over to the side of the road but having just had shoulder surgery this is quite difficult. I am now being informed that this "particular" car is not part of the steering recall even though it has the exact problem noted in the recall. Apparently it doesn't fall "within' their range of VIN numbers!

As I was driving a bell went off in the car and an alert on dash read power steering. There was a clunk noise and the power steering seemed to go off making the car almost impossible to steer.

Back in September my steering locked up on me twice and showed up on screen as power steering issue. I tollk it in to a GM dealer but they could not get the codes to come up. They said it was a bad BCM. I changed that and it worked for a while. Then in March it did it again but I did not qualify for extended warranty as my car had over 150000 miles on it. After much discussion with GM we changed the BCM, steering module and the steering column approx $1200 (after a discount from GM). A few days later they announced the recall. I had not seen anything in the mail so I called GM to be told that my VIN number was not part of the recall. I am so disgusted obviously the parts are bad and all should be recalled before some one gets hurt.

Power steering went out. Since its electrical assistant power steering their was little to nothing we could do other then bring it back to the dealership. When you first start up the car you has no power steering and had to restart the car a number of times before the power steering would start working again. I contacted the dealership and was able to bring it to the shop 1 week later for a diagnostics. 3/3/14 the diagnostics came back that the power steering column and module needed to be replaced. I express my concerns that this was a huge safety concern that we could lose all power to steering while we are driving the car. I asked him if our car was on the last recall that GM had for the Pontiac G6 for this issue. Our VIN was not recalled. I contacted GM directly and they told be they could give me a 50% discount because we were a loyal customer to the dealership and GM. Total repair was $1400. I believe GM should recall my VIN numbers for repair before something bad happens.

The steering makes a constant popping noise when accelerating or turning the wheel. Radio buttons, especially on the steering wheel do not work. Transmission clutch pressure control solenoid malfunction. Transmission control module failure. Stuck in 2nd gear, reverse does not work, wont rev past 4000rpm. Started as a jerky acceleration, then warning lights came on the next day, limp mode engaged, transmission rebuild needed on a car with less than 60K miles!

While turning the wheel at low speeds, it become very difficult to turn from one side to another. Loud thump when turning has always been present since the car was purchased.

I was driving on the interstate when "power steering" displayed on my menu screen and the car chimed 3 times. The steering column locked up when I was going 65mph!! it was extremely difficult to drive the rest of the way home. Nothing wrong with the fluid, pump, or belt. Horrible experience!

It's a whining sound that you hear when you are turning the wheel.

I have been reading online about the power steering not working all the time which is kind of funny since there are incidents just this week that leave me having to replace some parts that are completely rusted! the professional that I spoke with said that there should be a protective cover over it to keep the part from rusting. I forget the name of it since I was mostly concerned with how much more will I have to put into fixing this car!! I started looking online today for recalls and I would like to know if I qualify. I am scared that I will end up hurting someone since when my steering does go out it pulls me either which way into other lanes. Thank god it hasn't happened on the highway yet but I'm sure that'll be my next battle with this pos.

While driving on expressway experienced loss of power steering and had to use all my strength to steer to shoulder. After examining under hood for broken belts to no avail I got back into car and started it to find the steering working fine again. I have since experienced steering failure in parking lot and turned car off, again steering was fine after restarting car.extremely scary, dangerous experience when steering goes out at speed !!!!!.

My wife was doing 70 mph down the toll-road with our 5 year old son when the power steering went out in car. My wife was very distraught over the whole ordeal becasue what could've happened. I saw GM had sb out for Pontiac G6 2008. I called GM and they said my VIN is not part of this safety bulletin. I don't know how it can't be since it's the same issue other 2008 G6 are having. GM is frustrating me after seeing others with same issue with VIN not falling into their criteria to have this covered by the manufacture.

The exact issue described in sb-10033624-1410 occurred with my vehicle, however GM did not include my VIN in the coverage. This is a serious issue since the vehicle cannot be safely operated without power steering. GM should be reviewing the criteria use to identify impacted vehicles. Fortunately I was able to get my vehicle to a dealer without injury or incident. However; I am very concerned that my vehicle (and other impacted owners) was not included in the original notification. It would have been beneficial to have been aware of this safety issue prior to experiencing loss of steering.

Power steering keeps going out and wheel is shaking, seems to be a known problem with other G6 owners and has something to do with the eps system. Contacted GM and they are aware of the problem but not all 2008 G6's have a recall on them? only ones that fall under a certain VIN number which mine does not. Complete disappointment buying this vehicle. When my power steering goes out while driving and I or someone else dies maybe then GM will care enough to issue a recall on all of the vehicles they know have problems.

The steering wheel shakes due to power steering which makes it hard to steer and unsafe to drive.

- Hampstead, MD, USA

Power steering light came on and steering started acting abnormal while sitting in park, shaking vigorously. While driving the vehicle the shaking increases dramatically from side to side. The car steering then tries to drive itself at random times and if not holding the wheel firmly the wheel would be ripped out of my hands. The power steering also loses power sometimes while sitting in park and/or while driving at various speeds. Took car to dealership and they performed the recall on steering and there is no change in steering (light is still on and steering is erratic). Was told that I would have to pay $685 for the steering column to be replaced. Referenced recall notice 10183 in which steering column sends signal causing loss of steering but dealer refuse to replace column. Contacted GM Pontiac (file # 71-1263309904) and was told that the only resolution was for me to pay the $685 for the replacement of the steering column. Was told this was the 3rd steering column in this car in 5 years.

"power steering" warning message in the driver information console displayed along with chime to alert of an event. Dealer inspected and found the dtc C0460 for steering wheel position sensor, physical inspection found a worn sensor. Dealer replaced steering column and recalibrated the pscm to the vehicle, cleared codes and rechecked operation. Dealer found no open recalls in the us for this VIN, but did find reference to 2012 recall in Canada for power steering failure covering this make/model/year with replacement of steering column as corrective action plus power steering motor control module for 2008 specific.

- Troy, MI, USA

The steering wheel shakes and feels like it is out of control. I was told that the power steering module and motor assembly at the steering column needed to be replaced. This work was done at a cost of $810 I was also told that a recall for some 2008 G6 models had been issued with bulletin # 10183, however, my car was not in the VIN listing. Perhaps it should have been placed in the recall listing.
