GM HAS STATED THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON ALL G6'S FROM 2005, HOWEVER I HAVE CONTACTED GM AND THEY SAY MY CAR IS NOT UNDER THE RECALL. MY POWER STEERING HAS HAD ISSUES SINCE ABOUT A MONTH OR TWO AFTER PURCHASING IT FROM A DEALERSHIP THAT TOLD ME IT HAD BEEN SAFETY INSPECTED. I WANT TO HAVE MY CAR FIXED, BUT IT COSTS ABOUT 700.00 AND GM WONT FIX IT. WHAT DO I DO?? IN MICHIGAN WINTERS, THE POWER STEERING IS THE LAST THING YOU WANT TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH, ESPECIALLY WHEN TRANSPORTING MY TWO YEAR OLD SON. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY STEERING WHEEL GOT STIFF AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON IN THE RADIO SCREEN. SO I JUST TURNED AROUND AND PARKED CAR AT HOME. *TR

I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN AND HEARD 3 DINGS AND THEN LOST MY POWER STEERING. A MESSAGE ALSO POPPED UP ON MY RADIO SCREEN STATING POWER STEERING. I AM THANKFUL THAT THIS HAPPENED WHILE ONLY GOING MAYBE 5MPH IF THAT, IF I HAD BEEN GOING ANY FASTER THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. *JS

WHEN WIFE WAS TURNING INTO PARKING LOT, THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT, AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO STEER. SHE HAD TO PULL OVER AND LEAVE CAR. *TR

1- THE CAR WAS COMING TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT WHEN IT JUST COMPLETELY TURNED OFF. LIGHTS, POWER LOCKS, WINDOWS, RADIO, THE CAR, EVERYTHING. WOULD NOT START AFTER THAT. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES OF SITTING AT THE RED LIGHT WITH A COMPLETELY DEAD CAR (WITH MY KEYS IN MY LAP) THE CAR STARTED ON ITS OWN. 2- WENT TO GET INTO MY CAR AFTER COMING OUT OF THE STORE - THE CAR WAS TRYING TO REBOOT ITSELF. ALL THE ACCESSORIES WOULD TURN ON, BUT THE CAR REMAINED DEAD AND WOULD NOT START. LET SIT FOR ABOUT 5-8 MINUTES (AFTER IT TRIED TO START ITSELF ABOUT 5 TIMES) - I COULD START THE CAR 3- CAME OUT OF THE STORE AND IT WAS ONCE AGAIN, COMPLETELY DEAD WHERE NOTHING WORK (COULD NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK THE DOORS EVEN). ABOUT 10 MINUTES AFTER OF LETTING IT SIT, THE LOCKS STARTED CLICKING (AS IN UNLOCKING, LOCKING, UNLOCKING, LOCKING). THEN IT STARTED ON ITS OWN, WITH MY KEYS IN MY LAP. *TT

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, AND THE POWER STEERING JUST QUIT. I HAD TO PULL IT OFF INTO A PARKING LOT AND WAIT FOR MY FATHER TO COME LOOK IT OVER. HE FOUND NOTHING WRONG AND STARTED THE CAR, AND IT WORKED LIKE NORMAL. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS. *JS
