2007 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

THE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING ON THE PONTIAC G6 2007 LOCKS UP WHILE DRIVING. DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE POWER STEERING LOCKED UP AND STEERING WAS MADE DIFFICULT MORE EFFORT PUT INTO TURNING THE WHEEL A SMALL DIRECTION. THIS ISSUE ALSO HAPPENS WHEN CAR IS IN PARK AND JUST STARTING, OFTENTIMES RESTARTING CAR CAN FIX ISSUE TEMPORARILY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATED, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED, AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

MY STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY GETS HARD TO MOVE. IT HAPPENS WHEN IM ON THE FREEWAY GOING 60+ MPH AND MY POWER STEERING PUMP JUST COMPLETELY GOVES OUT. I CAN PULL OVER AND TURN MY CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND IT STOPS DOING IT TIL I GET BACK UP TO THE SPEED LIMIT. I WAS TOLD BY A REPAIR SHOP THAT MY POWER STEERING WAS COVERED BY A GM RECALL, AND I CANT GET ANYONE TO FIND THE RECALL INFORMATION. MY CONCERN IS WHY IS IT JUST A FEW MAKES RECALLED IF THE ENTIRE YEAR OF THAT MAKE AND MODEL ARE FAULTY.

AS I WAS TURNING RIGHT TO A STOP LIGHT I WAS USING MY BRAKES AND THE CAR WOULDN'T BRAKE THAT MUCH UNTIL I PUSHED DOWN HARDER THAN BEFORE. AFTER TURNING RIGHT AND GOING TOWARDS ANOTHER STOP LIGHT, I BRAKED AND THE CAR STOPPED. IT WAS STILL RUNNING, BUT THE ACCELERATOR WASN'T WORKING AND WHEN I PUT THE CAR BACK INTO PARK THEN DRIVE, NOTHING HAPPENED. AFTER I TURNED MY CAR ON AND OFF A FEW TIMES, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR INTO A NEARBY PARKING LOT, BUT THE STEERING WAS HARD TO TURN. AFTER MANY TURN ON AND OFFS, THE STEERING WHEEL WASN'T TIGHT ANYMORE AND I HAD SOMEONE ELSE DRIVE MY CAR TO MY HOUSE. AFTER A WEEK, MY PARENTS TOLD ME START THE CAR AND LET IT RUN FOR 2 MINUTES. WHEN I TURNED IT ON, IT MADE LIKE A 'GURGLING' NOISE AND WHEN I TURNED IT OFF, IT WAS HARD TO TURN THE KEY AND WHEN I GOT OUT OF MY CAR, IT STARTED TO SMELL. BEFORE EVERYTHING THAT I TYPED THAT HAPPENED, MY CAR WOULD START UP WITH THE 'GURGLING' NOISE AND WOULD SHAKE.

FOR A WHILE NAME THE DASH WOULD READ POWER STEERING BUT THE WHEEL WOULDN'T BE HARD TO TURN BUT I WOULD BE IN PARK AND IT WOULD BE TURNING BY ITS SELF. I WOULD CUT THE CAR OFF BUT IT WOULD BE OK START IT BACK UP BE PROBLEM OTHER NIGHT IT DID IT AGAIN WHILE PARKED CIT THE CAR OFF STARTED IT BACK UP STARTED TO HEAD HOME AND IT DID IT AGAIN AND I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE WHEEL STARTED TURNING AND PULLING ON IT'S ON ALMOST WRECKED. *DT*JB

WHILE THE CAR IS STATIONARY OR MOVING THE BRAKE LIGHTS APPEAR ON BUT ONCE PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO THE BRAKES THEY TURN OFF. BASICALLY THE OPPOSITE WAY THE BRAKE LIGHTS SHOULD BE WORKING.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 70MPH, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR BEEPED, BUT I DIDN'T SEE ANY WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD. IMMEDIATELY I NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL HAD LOCKED AND WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN. I WAS ABLE TO TILT IT JUST ENOUGH TO CHANGE LANES, BUT I WAS AFRAID I WOULD BE UNABLE TO MAKE ANY SHARPER TURN THAN THAT. I EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND AS I SUSPECTED, IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN THE WHEEL. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED RIGHT BEFORE A STEEP CURVE IN THE ROAD AND I WOULD NOT HAVE HAD TIME TO SLOW DOWN AND I WOULD HAVE RUN RIGHT OFF THE ROAD, UNABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL! I SEE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER PEOPLES' G6 JUST IN THE LAST FEW DAYS. PLEASE FIX OUR POWER STEERING! ENGINE STILL TURNS ON AND OFF, NOTHING WRONG WITH THE WAY IT DRIVES, JUST THE STEERING WHEEL IS STUCK.

MY STEERING WENT OUT OF KNOW WHERE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN NO WARNING AT ALL I WAS MAKING A TURN ON THE HIGHWAY INTO THE NEXT LANE AND IT JUST COULDN'T TURN THE WHEEL

PARENT WAS DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH WHEN CAR BEEPED AND RADIO SCREEN READ 'POWER STEERING'. IMMEDIATELY THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO MOVE AND TURN, THE ISSUE IS STILL PRESENT AND HAS NOT GONE AWAY.

POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING 65 ON A FAIRLY STRAIGHT 65 MPH HWY. THE FAULTY PART IS THE TORQUE SENSOR ASSEMBLY WICH THERE IS A RECALL ON FOR 2007 VEHICLES MANUFACTURED UP UNTIL JUNE 2016 I BELIEVE. GM RECALL # 14772....EXPANSION OF RECALL 14V-153. SHOULD RECALL INCLUDE ALL 2007 PONTIAC G6 VEHICLES AS THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.
