I HAVE HAD THE NECESSARY EPS RECALL WORK DONE ON MY G6 AND CONTINUE TO HAVE POWER STEERING ISSUES. THE DEALER STATED THAT I NEED TO HAVE THE TORQUE SENSOR ASSEMBLY REPLACED AND THAT MY VIN DOES NOT QUALIFY ALTHOUGH THERE ARE OTHER MANUFACTURE DATES THAT DO. I'M WONDERING IF THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE FOR MY 2008 PONTIAC G6 WHICH WAS MANUFACTURED 11/2007?

POWER STEERING GOES AWAY RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. WHEEL SHAKES. DASH POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON. SOMETIMES POWER STEERING RETURNS WHEN YOU SHUT OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE NUMEROUS TIMES

TAKATA RECALL I JUST BOUGHT MY 2008 PONTIAC G6 AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS DOING SOME JERKING, SHAKING MOVEMENTS OFF AND ON WHILE I'M DRIVING OR JUST TURNING ON MY CAR SITTING IN PARK. IT FEELS TIGHT WHEN I TRY TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT IS VERY HARD TO CONTROL THE CAR TO KEEP IN THE DIRECTION I NEED TO GO.

I NOTICE THAT ON SOME OF THE 2008 PONT. G6 BREAK LIGHTS DON'T COME ON SOME TIMES. THE OTHER DAY I WAS DRIVING AND NOTICE CARS ALMOST HIT MY CAR BUT I CHECKED MY BREAK LIGHTS AND THEY WORKED .

SEVERAL WEEKS BACK, I WAS DRIVING LOCALLY (MAYBE 35MPH) ON A CITY STREET WHEN MY BREAK LIGHTS APPEARED TO STOP WORKING. I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT WHEN SOMEONE FLASHED THEIR LIGHTS AT ME. AT THE NEXT LIGHT, (I DID NOT SWITCH LANES OR STOP ABRUPTLY), ANOTHER VEHICLE HONKED AND CAME TO AN ABRUPT STOP BEHIND ME AND THEN FLASHED THEIR LIGHTS AT ME. LATER THAT DAY I CHECKED ALL MY LIGHTS AND THEY APPEARED TO BE WORKING. I CHECKED AGAIN A FEW WEEKS LATER AND THEY SEEMED TO BE FINE. I NEVER TOOK THE CAR TO BE FIXED, AND I KNOW MY CAR'S VIN IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR RECALLS. I DID NOT THINK IT WAS A BIG ISSUE UNTIL I NOTICED A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE WHERE OTHER PONTIACS HAVE RANDOM BREAK LIGHT FAILURE.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND BREAKING AT A STOP SIGN ON A LOCAL STREET, THE POWER STEERING WAS LOST, A NOTIFICATION OF POWER STEERING APPEARED ON THE SCREEN AND A SAFETY ALERT SOUNDED. AFTER MANUALLY STEERING THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, I KILLED THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED THE CAR AND THE POWER STEERING WAS FUNCTIONAL. I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL SHOP THAT DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS AN ISSUE WITH THE STEERING COLUMN. I THEN TOOK THE CAR TO A DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THE TORQUE SENSOR AS THE ISSUE. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT MY PARTICULAR VIN NUMBER IS NOT COVERED TO FIX THE ISSUE UNDER CAMPAIGN 14V153000.
