MY 2006 PONTIAC G6 CAME OUT WITH A POWER STEERING PROBLEM, SAYS IN THE RADIO SCREEN ALSO, AND CAUSED MY CAR LOSING CONTROL ON EXPRESS WAY FROM NEW HAMPSHIRE TO MASSACHUSETTS AND CRASHED INTO RAMP. MY CAR WAS DAMAGED IN SHAPE AND TIRE, WHEEL SUPPORT BAR. REPLACEMENT CAUSED ME A HUGE AMOUNT. VERY VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE!!! *TR

RAW FUEL SMELL COMING FROM 2006 PONTIAC G6 AND LOSE OF POWER. I HAVE READ IN SOME ONLINE FORUMS AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH OTHERS G6'S ALSO. MOST HAVE STATED THAT THIS COULD BE A POSSIBLE CRACK IN FUEL LINE. *TR

MY POWER STEERING LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND THERE IS A CLUNKING IN MY STEERING WHENEVER I TURN, AND WHEN I HIT A BUMP MY CAR SWAYS A BIT. AS WELL AS ONCE IN A WHILE I LOSE MY POWER STEERING WHICH I ALMOST CRASHED BUT MAINTAINED MY COMPOSURE. *TR
