I own a 2010 Pontiac G6 that within the last week incurred a power steering failure. While making a turn or a curve the steering locks up.. recall research shows that on March 2014 the NHTSA required GM to issue a recall for this exact problem, however, it only covered the G6 models up to the year 2009. The service advisor at the dealership acknowledged that the "problem" was very similar to the steering problem for earlier models.

When I turn on the car the power steering and service ESC messages appear.. sometimes as soon as I pull out of the driveway, and I haven't even started turning the wheel, it will become hard and difficult to turn. The car will be driving fine and all of a sudden the power steering goes out and the steering becomes very hard and stiff. This has happened while on major roads and while coming in ang going out of the driveway. It's really random and sometimes it won't happen at all for a while. When it does happen it happens for a few times a day. My remedy is usually just pulling over, putting the car in park and shutting it off., letting it rest for a minute and start it again.

The contact owns a 2010 Pontiac G6. While driving 30 mph, the steering wheel became difficult to turn and the steering system warning indicator illuminated. The contact was able to pull the vehicle over to the side of the road. When the engine was turned off and restarted, the vehicle operated normally. The contact was able to drive the vehicle shortly until the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the steering column needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the issue. The contact referenced NHTSA campaign number: 14E044000 (steering) as a possible cause of the failure. The VIN was not provided. The failure mileage was 118,000.

Three weeks after I purchased my car I was driving on a busy highway and my steering wheel locked up and the power steering light came on. I received a message "check power steering service ESC". I finally came to a red light and I was able to turn the car off and restarted it. The message was gone and the light was off. I drove a few more minutes and it happened again. I took it to the dealership where I purchased it and they said it needed a new steering column. I do not have the money to purchase a new one or have it fixed.

The power steering mode/ light is on and will not go off or allow steering. It's not drivable and is extremely dangerous. Before it went completely out it would lose steering going up highway at different times and speeds, but once U cut off ignition and restart it would be ok for another few miles.

- Dadeville, AL, USA

Whether it's moving or standing still the steering wheel will shake like crazy and usually the 'power steering' light will come on and the only way to turn it off is to turn off the car and turn it back on (sometimes several times).

- Bakersfield, CA, USA

I recieved an error message on my dash power steering, service ESC, and ESC off while pulling out of my driveway. I drove a few blocks and could not longer control my steering - this is a serious safety hazard reported by many, many G5, G6 and G8 owners with model years between 2005 and 2010 in particular. Why certain models/years have been recalled and not all of them is beyond me. It took everything I had to get back to my home and get the car parked safely.

- Tipton, IA, USA

As I was driving today with no prior dash warning my power steering completely locked up at a intersection almost causing an accident. I was able to pull over, turn off the engine and restart the car and made it home but it did lock up again. Very dangerous with no warning. I did see that this was recalled on models earlier than 2010. The vehicle was in motion at the time on a city stree coming to a intersection.

- Pawtucket, RI, USA

While driving the power steering light flashed and ESC light comes on and loose all power steering. Very hard to steer to get pulled over. Shut the car off and works for a bit, then flashes again and loose it again.thank goodness im a strong guy and was able to muscled it to a safe spot. There are recalls for previous years for the exact same problem but not 2010... why"?"

- Dora, MO, USA

When starting the car, a warning will appear in the driver information display stating a power steering failure. It also states to service ESC. When attempting to drive, the steering wheel becomes impossible to turn (since the power steering is not working) and is very dangerous around many turns, especially in roundabouts. The steering wheel shakes uncontrollably as well. This problem seems to be very similar to the recall that was declared with the 2006-2009 Pontiac G6's.

- Bloomington, IN, USA

Power steering stopped working - on and off. 1st instance driving, 2nd when parked.

- Parker, CO, USA

Power steering randomly stops working while driving on the interstate and city streets, may begin to work a short time later or it may take days for it to work again. This started roughly one week ago. I have reviewed recalls and seen it only goes to 2009 models. I reviewed complaints on here and numerous 2010 owners are having the same issue.

- Farmington, MO, USA

While driving on hwy 54 the power steering goes out displaying a service ESC and power steering code. The car cant not be steered at that speed (55mph) around curves, there is a recall up to 2009 for this problem. Why not the 2010" obviously several owners are having problems. It went out on a curve on me yesterday and couldn't steer the car. Almost killed my son and I. we missed an oncoming truck by inches and if he would not of swerved around us we would be dead. This is very expensive to fix and I dont have the $$. I thought I was buying a reliable vehicle with my 2010 Pontiac G6. Guess I was wrong. There are hundreds of people that have this issue with the G6. Please investigate as to why it isn't. this issue is going to kill someone. We put our money into these vehicles thinking its reliable. Why hasn't GM been held responsible for this? is it going to take death of innocent people to get a recall on it?"

Power steering has quit working

- Hartselle, AL, USA

Going down road ESC warning and power steering warning. Power steering went. Will not reset

- Otsego, MI, USA

While in motion backing out of my sisters driveway I was trying to turn the wheel to have the car go in the direction I was going in on the highway an the steering wheel would not turn either way at all then the power steering warning came on the screen on the dash. I tried to pull forward back into the driveway out of traffic and it still would not turn either way. There are recalls on 2010 Pontiac G6 for the same exact thing but not my VIN number and I don't understand why not all 2010 my car was new when I got it an it still has original parts on it so I'm not understanding the recall

Power steering fails

- Madison Heights, MI, USA

Has happened multiple times past two weeks. Issue typically occurs at starting of car, a couple of times while driving down highway: A chime is heard, the dashboard displays power steering, the ESC off indicator comes on, and power steering is lost. Turning off car and restarting can reset and power steering works. When power steering is working, the steering wheel shakes while at a stop, can sometimes be felt when driving, I've checked the internet and have found this is a common problem with G6's. in fact, many GM models, although the Pontiac 2010 model year is not included. It's obvious this problem is the same problem and 2010 G6's need to be included. I'm setting up an appointment with my local dealership asap.

- Medina, OH, USA

I have an issue with the power steering on this vehicle. I came to find out that this vehicle has electrical power steering. I was driving on a residential road when the steering wheel locked up on me. It took all the strength I had to pull over to side of road which is very dangerous and call for assistance. I was told to restart vehicle which fixed this issue for that day then happened again on another this is a major problem that needs to be addressed immediate response would be greatly appreciated.
