2006 PONTIAC G6 V6 --WHEN I STARTED MY CAR IT ACTED FINE. DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AT APPROX. 15-20MPH THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON THE RADIO AND BEEPED AT ME. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT. IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN OFF THE STREET INTO A PARKING LOT. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND THE POWER STEERING WORKED BUT THE LIGHT CAME ON OVER THE RADIO AGAIN. VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE AND HAD I BEEN GOING ANY FASTER IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. TAKING THE CAR INTO THE SHOP TOMORROW. *TR

WHEN DRIVING, THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. I HAVE TO RESTART THE CAR TO MAKE THE POWER STEERING WORK. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM, YOU THEN CAN DRIVE IT FOR A COUPLE MILES BEFORE IT GOES OUT AGAIN. THEN RESTART THE PROCESS.. AND IF IT GOES OUT WHILE TRYING TO MAKE A TURN, IT CAUSES YOU TO GO OFF ROAD. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 PONTIAC G6 GT AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT GOING DOWN THE ROAD. THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON FIRST AND ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. THE STEERING WAS SO HARD TO TURN THAT I HAD TO PARK THE CAR CAUSE I COULDN'T TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. OTHER YEAR MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED BUT THE 06 HASN'T. THE VEHICLES A UNSAFE AND NEED TO BE RECALLED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR
