I AM THE 2ND OWNER TO A G6 HAVE NOTICED SINCE ABOUT A MONTH OR SO AFTER PURCHASING VEHICLE THAT WHEN TURNING AT SLOW SPEEDS THERE IS A CLANKING/BANGING NOISE. HAVE NOTICED SEVERAL OTHERS MENTION OF THIS SAME ISSUE. NOW IT SHOWS OBVIOUS RECALL FOR THE U JOINT FOR THIS VEHICLE, YET BOTH DEALERSHIPS AND PONTIAC ARE ONLY SAYING IT IS VIN SPECIFIC WHICH TO ME IS A CROCK OF (YOU FILL IN). THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM WITH THIS YET THEY WANT TO DO NOTHING. GUESS MAJOR ACCIDENTS OR DEATH MUST NEED TO RESULT IN ORDER FOR THEM TO FIX THE ISSUE. ALSO AT JUST ANY RANDOM TIME THE AIRBAG WARNING WILL JUST POP UP ON MY DASHBOARD. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN NO ACCIDENTS, SO THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON TO THAT JUST RANDOMLY "POPPIGN UP" I WILL BE MAKING FORMAL COMPLAINTS TO BBB AND NATIONAL SAFETY WEBSITE. IF YOU POST A RECALL FOR A VEHICLE, IT IS NOT VIN SPECIFIC AS THEY ARE ALL USING THE SAME PARTS. COME ON GM WE ARE NOT IDIOTS HERE!!!!!

TURNED LEFT GOING APPROXIMATELY 30MPH LOST POWER STEERING. CAR WAS HARD TO TURN AND LUCKILY I DIDN'T GO STRAIGHT INTO THE BRIDGE. DROVE APPROXIMATELY ANOTHER MILE TO GO HOME TURNED LEFT AGAIN AND LOST POWER STEERING MAKING THE CAR HARD TO TURN. THIS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND I CHECKED POWER STEERING FLUID LEVELS WHICH WERE OK. ONCE I RESTARTED THE CAR EVERYTHING WENT BACK TO NORMAL AND HAD NO MORE PROBLEMS UNTIL YESTERDAY.(6/23/15) I CALLED PONTIAC TODAY(6/24/15) THEY STATED THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR MY CAR CONCERNING THE STEERING. I KNOW THERE WAS AN UPDATE IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR CONCERNING PONTIAC G6'S BUT I AM BEING TOLD MY CAR IS NOT IN THAT. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS ADDRESSED AND FIXED. I AM GOING TO SCHEDULE A DEALER TO LOOK AT THIS ISSUE AS SOON AS I CAN GET IT IN.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH CLUNKING AND RATTLING IN THE STEERING COLUMN FOR YEARS, EVEN SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN 2007 THE POPPING BEGAN,ESPECIALLY AT LOW SPEEDS.ITS TO THE POINT NOW THAT MY CAR FEELS LIKE ITS LITERALLY GOING TO FALL APART WITH ALL THE RATTLING AND VIBRATING. GM SUGGESTED I ROTATE TIRES, RESURFACE ROTORS, REPLACE TIE RODS AND STABILIZER BAR CONTROL LINK`. I HAVE PAID FOR ALL OF THIS AT MY MECHANIC AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. I HAVE HAD 2 MECHANICS(NON GM) INSIST THAT ITS THE STEERING COLUMN SHAFT AND THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE BUT GM REFUSES TO FIX THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THEY LUBED THE SHAFT SOME YEARS AGO BUT THAT WAS JUST A BAND AID.I UNDERSTAND THEY WERE REPLACING THE SHAFTS YEARS AGO BUT STOPPED BECAUSE OF THE HIGH COST FOR GM. I KNOW THAT THIS IS AND HAS BEEN MY ISSUES OVER THE YEARS AND IT IS ONLY GETTING WORSE. THEY SHOULD HAVE FIXED IT THE CORRECT WAY THE FIRST TIME INSTEAD OF GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND AND HAVING ALL THESE OTHER THINGS DONE TO MY VEHICLE WHEN THE MAIN ISSUE IS THE STEERING COLUMN SHAFT. I HAVE HAD ENOUGH SPENDING MONEY ON MY VEHICLE WHEN PONTIAC SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING AND OR REPAIRING MY SHAFT. IM SCARED TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE AT TIME BECAUSE IM AFRAID ITS GOING TO FALL APART. SOMETHING HAS GOT TO BE DONE FINALLY THIS THIS GONE ON FAR TOO LONG.
