2009 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

WHENEVER THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR EVEN IN MOTION AT LOW SPEEDS, THE STEERING LOCKS UP. THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE TURNED OFF THEN BACK ON IN ORDER FOR THE STEERING TO BE RELEASED. THERE HAS BEEN RECALLS ON THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR VEHICLE AS MINES, BUT MY VEHICLE BY VIN HAS NOT BEEN AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND GM SHOULD RECALL ALL VEHICLES TO HAVE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED. MY FIANCEE AND CHILDREN WERE IN THE CAR AS SHE WAS BACKING UP WHEN THE STEERING LOCKED UP. ANOTHER TIME SHE WAS TURNING THE CORNER WHEN THE STEERING LOCKED UP. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BECAUSE WE CAN NOT AFFORD THE REPAIRS AND CAN NOT AFFORD ANOTHER VEHICLE.

ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING ASSIST STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ALMOST CAUSING ME TO WRECK I PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED CAR AND STEERING ASSIST TURNED BACK ON IT ALSO HAPPENED TO MY WIFE IN THE SAME WAY

"TAKATA RECALL" WHILE DRIVING POWER STEERING WENT OUT,ON THE INTERSTATE COULDN'T CHANGE LANES PROPERLY. HAD TO PULL OVER IN HEAVY TRAFFIC TERRIFIED. NEED TO KNOW IF THIS PART IS BEING RECALL.BLESSED TOO BE ALIVE.

POWER STEERING GOES OUT A FEW MINUTES UPON DRIVING AND THE WHEEL BECOMES HARD TO TURN. SOMETIMES IT WILL RETURN FOR A BRIEF MOMENT WHEN STARTING THE CAR. ALSO THE WINDOW WASHER PUMP IS FAULTY CAUSING NO FLUID TO COME OUT WHEN PRESSED, WHICH COULD LEAD TO VISIBILITY PROBLEMS IN WINTER WITH ALL THE SAND AND SALT ON THE ROADS

WHILE DRIVING THE STEERING WHEEL WILL LOCK UP AND THE POWER STEERING NOTIFICATION WILL APPEAR. IF I TURN THE CAR OFF THEN BACK ON, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL UNLOCK. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE BECAME STATIONARY AND IN TURNING THE WHEEL TO TURN AND IN DRIVING. IT HAS HAPPENED EVERY WHERE BUT THE FREEWAY/ HIGHWAY.

TAKATA RECALL. MY PONTIAC G6 2009 HAS A POWER STEERING RECALL BUT THEY WONT FIX IT BECAUSE IT DOESNT COME IN AS A RECALL WHEN THEY TYPE IN MY VIN BUT IV READ ABOUT THE RECALL, EVERY TIME IT GETS COLD MY POWER STEERING GOES OUT, DOESNT MATTER IF IM ON THE EXPRESSWAY OR JUST STARTED MY CAR IT RANDOMLY WILL GO OUT, I HAVE A ELECTRIC MOTOR SO I KNOW IM NOT JUST OUT OF FLUID, IT DOESNT HAPPEN IN THE SUMMER TIME ONLY WINTER WHEN IT GETS COLD. WHAT DO I DO? I DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT AND I FEEL IT IS WRONG THAT THE RECALL IS THERE BUT THEY WONT FIX IT JUST BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER DOES NOT MATCH THE RECALL.

STRONG SMELL OF GAS AT STARTUPS. POSSIBLE FUEL LEAK LIKE OTHER GM VEHICLES. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL AS THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.
