WHILE DRIVING ON MY WAY TO SCHOOL AND MY CAR BEGAN TO START SLOWING DOWN AND IT WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO STEER THE STEERING WHEEL. IN ADDITION TO THAT THE PEDALS BECAME LESS OPERABLE. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER MAYBE 15 MINUTES FROM THE COLLEGE IN WHICH I WAS ATTENDING. AS I WAS TRYING TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL THE CAR WENT INTO THE CURB. FINALLY I WAS ABLE TO GAIN CONTROL OF MY CAR AND IT WOULD NOT START ONCE I PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. AFTER THAT I WAITED A MINUTE AND ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR AGAIN AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I HAD TO MISS CLASS AND CALL FOR HELP AND THEN TOOK MY CAR TO OTHER MECHANICS. *TR

I HAVE JUST RECEIVED MY FOURTH RECALL NOTICE ONLY ON MY 2007 PONTIAC G-6. I HAVE TWICE SPOKEN WITH SOMEONE ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS MATTER, AND WHEN THEY THOUGHT IT MAY BE FIXED. I HAVE CONCERNS ON THIS AS THE CAR DOES HAVE TO BE USED ON A DAILY BASIS, AND OCCASIONAL 350 MILE ROUND TRIP. I AM NOT VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THE WAY THIS IS BEING HANDLED,I DO NOT WANT TO SEE ANOTHER NOTICE OF THE RECALL,I WANT IT FIXED !!! I WOULD THINK THIS TIME FRAME SHOULD NOT HAVE TO GO BY WHEN A SAFETY ISSUE IS AT RISK. SAFETY RECALL#14152 AND 13036 I PLAN TO REPORT THIS ISSUE TO WHOM IT CONCERNS. *TR

POWER STEERING ASSIST FREQUENTLY DROPS OUT AT SLOW SPEEDS, REQUIRING STRENUOUS EFFORT TO COMPLETE TURNS. STEERING ASSIST RETURNS WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS ENGAGED. *TR

WE DID NOT HAVE ANY INCIDENT. MINE WAS MORE OF A QUESTION CONCERNING A RECALL # FOUND ON A DORMAN PART. (2007 PONTIAC G6 STEERING RECALL 14E044000) FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THIS RECALL WAS ONLY FOR A REPLACEMENT PART THAT WAS BOUGHT FOR THIS ISSUE INVOLVING THE U-JOINTS AND THE STEERING? WE ARE CURRENTLY HAVING PROBLEMS WITH OUR PONTIAC G6 AND THE STEERING THAT I FEEL IS VERY SAFE. THE CAR WE HAVE IS ONLY A 2007 WITH 56,000 MILES ON IT AND WE CAN BARELY CONTROL THE STEERING. WE WERE WONDERING WERE OTHERS HAVING THIS ISSUE ? OTHERWISE WHY WOULD THERE BE A RECALL ON THIS REPLACEMENT PART? *TR
