Steering locks up while driving every other day so I avoid the highway in fear of having an accident with my children if this was to happen. Very hard to control / steer the vehicle when this happened. Have to turn the car off and then start the car again to unlock the steering. Now a warning chime constantly beeps while driving and only stops then the vehicle comes to a complete stop.

Steering pump continued problems. Wasn't made aware as an owner that there was special coverage to replace these at manufacturers expense. It cause the modular to make it not respond to steering. As a customer we have fixed it twice because we didn't know about the problem that the car had steering. Disappointed because we were not made aware of that as owners like you do with your recalls. The dealership says it will be my expense @ 900$. that steering coverage for the ran out at 150,000 miles. It's not safe to drive. And can't afford another 900 to fix. Bad customer service on something that's safety. It broke again while transporting my grandchildren. Again, this coverage to fix it was not brought to our attention until coverage ran out at 150,000 miles. You fixed the other 4 manufacturers recalls, and more importantly made the consumer aware, except with this steering safety (coverage). It put my family at huge safety risk. Completely disappointed that you're not fixing it. Disappointed that you didn't send any notice of the safety recall or coverage (your words) before now or ever, we had to get it from the tech at the dealership. So I pick up a car and drive it home that has not been fixed and is unsafe because I can't afford $900 and your company will not cover it! so thank you for your service to a lifelong Chevy customer..

Whenever the vehicle is stationary or even in motion at low speeds, the steering locks up. The vehicle has to be turned off then back on in order for the steering to be released. There has been recalls on the same model and year vehicle as mines, but my vehicle by VIN has not been affected by the recall. This is extremely dangerous and GM should recall all vehicles to have this issue resolved. My fiancee and children were in the car as she was backing up when the steering locked up. Another time she was turning the corner when the steering locked up. Please look into this because we can not afford the repairs and can not afford another vehicle.

Power steering goes out a few minutes upon driving and the wheel becomes hard to turn. Sometimes it will return for a brief moment when starting the car. Also the window washer pump is faulty causing no fluid to come out when pressed, which could lead to visibility problems in winter with all the sand and salt on the roads

Takata recall. My Pontiac G6 2009 has a power steering recall but they wont fix it because it doesnt come in as a recall when they type in my VIN but iv read about the recall, every time it gets cold my power steering goes out, doesnt matter if im on the expressway or just started my car it randomly will go out, I have a electric motor so I know im not just out of fluid, it doesnt happen in the summer time only winter when it gets cold. What do I do? I dont have the money to fix it and I feel it is wrong that the recall is there but they wont fix it just because my VIN number does not match the recall.

As I was driving down a residental street, the steering wheel locked up & a notification came across my dashboard advising me "power steering". I was forced to pull over & was unsure what to do. I turned my car off & back on, but the power steering was still out. I turned my car off & on again, this time turning the wheel as I turned the key, & it went back to normal. Within a few minutes of me starting to drive, the wheel locked up again.
