I HAVE A 2006 PONTIAC G6 AND FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS THE POWERSTEERING HAS BEEN GOING OUT. I CAN PULL OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON AND SOMETIMES IT WILL RESET. HOWEVER, MORE RECENTLY THAT IS NOT WORKING AND IF I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I HAVE COME VERY CLOSE TO HAVING A WRECK. THE POWERSTEERING GOES OUT AT LEAST 4 TIMES A WEEK AND THE DAYS IT GOES OUT IT CONTINUES ALL DAY LONG. I AM AFRAID THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE A VERY BAD WRECK. I HAD THE PROBLEM LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE ONLY THING HE COULD DO WAS REPLACE THE WHOLE STEERING COLUMN AND HE DIDN'T SUGGEST DOING THAT JUST YET. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT REALLY NEEDS CHECKED OUT BEFORE SOMEONE DIES FROM AN ACCIDENT. *TR

I HAVE AN 06 PONTIAC G6 AND A WHILE BACK I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM OUT OF TOWN WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I WAS ABLE TO STEER IT TO THE GAS STATION BUT IF MY WIFE HAD BEEN DRIVING, SHE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE. THE STEERING ISN'T JUST HARD TO TURN LIKE AN OLD TRUCK, IT CONSTANTLY TRIES TO SPRING BACK TO THE STRAIGHT POSITION SO YOU FIGHT IT THE ENTIRE TIME. WE PARKED IT FOR A FEW DAYS AND I TURNED IT ON AN TOOK IT AROUND THE BLOCK AND IT WAS FINE UNTIL A WEEK AGO WHEN IT WENT OUT AGAIN AND NOW I CANT GET IT TO WORK AT ALL. I WILL BE DAMNED IF I AM PAYING TO HAVE IT FIXED WHEN IT IS GM'S PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND IT IS COMPLETE BS THAT ALL THE OTHER CARS GOT RECALLED BUT THE G6 DID NOT. "GOVERNMENT MOTORS" BETTER DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS OR RISK LOSING EVEN MORE CUSTOMERS. *TR

I BOUGHT A PONTIAC G6 2006 RECENTLY AND IT SEEMED LIKE A GOOD BUY BUT NOW ITS BEEN GIVING ME STEERING TROUBLES WERE THE POWER STEERING STIFFENS UP AND I CAN BARELY TURN THE WHEEL. I'VE DONE A LITTLE RESEARCH AND I FOUND IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS (THANKFULLY) HOWEVER; WITHIN THE PAST 4 MONTHS I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY STEERING MODULE AND JUST LAST WEEK MY BALL JOINT AND CONTROL ARM. THESE ARE EXPENSIVE AND ARE VERY NECESSARY TO FIX RIGHT AWAY. I HAVE A HARD TIME TURNING MY STEERING WHEEL AT TIMES AND WHEN I SEEM TO TURN IT MAKES AN ODD NOISE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS FIXED BUT AT TIMES I STILL FEEL SOMETHING IS WRONG AND IT SCARES ME BECAUSE I DON'T WANT ANYTHING BAD TO HAPPEN. I HAVE TALKED TO THE PONTIAC DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY THERE ISN'T ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. THIS TO ME ISN'T RIGHT AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WITH MY STEERING SEEMING TO GO BAD OFTEN. *TR
