THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 166,500.

LAST WEEK I WAS EXPERIENCING SHAKING IN MY STEERING WHEEL AND KNOCKING SOUNDS ON FRIDAY. MY CAR PRETTY MUCH SAT ALL WEEKEND, I WENT TO GO BACK OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY FOR WORK AND NOTICED THE STEERING WHEEL WAS REALLY HARD TO TURN AND MY STEERING WHEEL NOTICE CAME UP ON RADIO DASH. I PULLED BACK INTO MY DRIVEWAY TURNED OFF CAR. I PULLED OUT MY MANUAL AND WAS CHECKING TO SEE IF I NEEDED STEERING WHEEL FLUID AND IT WAS IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL COLUMN. I TURNED CAR BACK ON TO CHECK IT AGAIN AND IT WAS FREE AGAIN AND COULD TURN WITH OUT ALOT OF PRESSURE. I PROCEEDED TO WORK AND STARTED TO CALL AROUND TO SHOPS. I NOTICED ONLINE THAT THERE ARE RECALLS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. I DO NOT HAVE ALOT OF MILES ON MY CAR FOR THE YEAR AND HAVE SEEN SIMILAR/IF NOT THE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS OCCURRING WITH OTHER OWNERS WHEN I READ COMPLAINTS ON LINE. *TR

WHEN I START MY CAR, I LOSE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING AND I AM UNABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL OF MY CAR. WHEN I RESTART MY CAR, I REGAIN POWER STEERING. HOWEVER, PONTIAC G6 MODELS 2005-2006 WERE RECALLED, FOLLOWED BY 2008-2009 MODELS. 2007 WAS NOT RECALLED, BUT CLEARLY I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IF I LOSE POWER STEERING WHILE MY CAR IS IN MOTION, I WILL PUT MYSELF AND EVERYONE ON THE ROAD IN DANGER. PONTIAC G6 2007 SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE BEFORE THESE CARS CAUSE ANY MORE CASUALTIES OR ACCIDENTS. *TR

I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TWITCHING. WHEN I TRIED TO MAKE A LEFT ONTO THE HIGHWAY RAMP I LOST POWER STEERING AND HAD A DIFFICULT TIME TURNING THE WHEEL TO MAKE THE LEFT TURN. THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT CAME UP AS A NOTIFICATION. I CONTACTED GM WHO HAS RECALLED SEVERAL MODEL YEARS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE HOWEVER AS OF TODAY, 2-28-15, MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE MOST RECENT RECALL NOTICE. IT IS NOT FAIR I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR OF $675 WHEN THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND FOR WHATEVER REASON GM HAS EXCLUDED MY VIN NUMBER. THE NEWLY ANNOUNCE RECALL NUMBER IS 14772 HOWEVER MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED. *TR

WE FIRST STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE 2 WEEKS AGO. STARTED THE CAR AND THE POWER STEERING INDICATOR CAME ON AND WE HAD NO POWER STEERING. WE SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT WORKED. IT WOULD WORK OFF AND ON FOR AWHILE BUT AS OF THE LAST FEW DAYS THERE IS NO POWER STEERING AT ALL. I CALLED GM. THEY ARE SAYING OUR VIN IS NOT INCLUDED. THIS IS A BUNCH OF CRAP. THE 2007 G6'S WERE ADDED FOR THIS PROBLEM JUST A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. I SEE THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND GM NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING BEFORE THERE ARE MORE CRASHES OR DEATHS FROM THIS ISSUE. IT IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THEY GM DEALERSHIP GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE OF $600 TO FIX THIS. WE DO NOT HAVE THIS KIND OF MONEY TO SPEND ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS SOMETHING THAT GM SHOULD HAVE BEEN PAYING FOR ALL ALONG. I AM BEYOND DONE WITH GM IF THEY DON'T RECTIFY THE SITUATION. *TR
