2007 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

WHILE DRIVING, LOSE ABILITY TO TURN THE WHEEL. WILL GET CHATTER AS WELL AS LOUD BANG ON OCCASION. THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS AND RECENTLY WHILE MY 18 YR OLD SON (HIS CAR) WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY PULLING OFF AN EXIT GOING 45 MPH AND THANKFULLY WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND AVOID OTHER CARS. CAR HAS SAT SINCE WAITING FOR A MECHANIC TOO LOOK AT IT, WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT TO BE TOWED. VERY DANGEROUS AND LOOKS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE BUT FOR SOME REASON, NOT PART OF RECALL FOR 2006 AND 2008. CAR HAS APPROX 107K MILES ON IT. GM SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING BY THEIR CUSTOMERS IF THEY WANT TO KEEP THEM. OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT IN STEERING WHCIH THEY HAVE OWNED UP TO FOR OTHER YEARS..

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING, THE STEERING WHEEL FELT EXTREMELY LOOSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MAITA CHEVROLET (9650 AUTO CENTER DR, ELK GROVE, CA 95757 916-512-1567) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE POWER STEERING MODULE, POWER STEERING MOTOR AND TORQUE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 162,000.

OUR ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM WENT OUT ON OUR VEHICLE. I SEE THAT THIS PART WAS RECALLED FEB 2ND, 2015. WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP ON US. WE HAD A CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT AND ALMOST DROVE OFF THE HIGHWAY. IT WAS VERY SCARY SITUATION FOR ALL OF US. *TR

WHEN I'M DRIVING MY 2007 PONTIAC G6 THE DASH AND RADIO TURN COMPLETELY OFF THE GAUGES GO COMPLETELY DOWN THEN THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY TURNS BACK ON WHILST DRIVING REPEATEDLY. *TR

ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING DOES NOT WORK AT TIMES AND CODE CO545 PRESENT. STEERING WHEEL SHAKES WHEN TURNED SLIGHTLY LEFT. WHEN TURN OFF VEHICLE AND RESTART ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING WILL FUNCTION AS NORMAL. STEERING TORQUE SENSOR PROBLEM BUT STEERING ASSEMBLY WILL NEED REPLACEMENT. THIS SHOULD BE A DEALER RECALL DUE TO PART DEFECT AS IN 2006 MODEL YEARS. *TR

SUDDEN LOSE OF POWER STEERING. AFTER CAR STARTS UP, POWER STEERING IS PRESENT, HOWEVER AFTER VEHICLE IS MOVING, SUDDEN LOSE OF THE POWER STEERING OCCURS. A CHECK OF MY VIN STATES MY 2007 G6 IS NOT RELATED TO NHTSA BULLETIN 15V064000, HOWEVER IT IS FOR THE SAME EXACT MAKE, MODEL, YEAR, AND PART THAT IS AFFECTED. THE GM RECALL NUMBER IS 14772. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD THAT COULD RESULT IN MAJOR CRASH WITH POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH AS STEERING IS LOST WHILE IN MOTION. IT NOW OCCURS EVERY TIME VEHICLE IS DRIVEN AFTER A SHORT DISTANCE ON ROAD. GM NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE THAT MORE 2006-2007 PONTIAC G6 VEHICLES WITH THAT SAME TORQUE SENSOR BE IMPACTED BY RECALL 14722 IMMEDIATELY.

THE POWER STEERING INTERMITTENTLY GOES OUT BEFORE PUTTING THE CAR IN MOTION WITH THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKING AND THE ERROR LIGHT DISPLAYS BUT AFTER TURNING OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTING THE WHEEL WOULD UNLOCK. IT HAS ALSO LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 45MPH WHICH MADE IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN.

I WAS DRIVING THROUGH MY TOWN AND MY SEATBELT LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN THE POWER STEERING WAS COMPLETELY GONE. I WAS THE ONLY ONE IN MY CAR. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A COUPLE WEEKS. MY SHOULDER IS HURTING BAD NOW FROM THIS. VERY SCARY FOR THIS TO HAPPEN.

POWER STEERING IN DIC RADIO LIT UP NO POWER STEERING AT ALL. POWER STEERING IS ELECTRICAL AND GOES OFF INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING RECALLS ON THIS 2006-2007 G6 RECALL 14772 INPUT MY VIN # SAYS MY CAR NOT AFFECTED HOWEVER, AN MAJOR ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING PROBLEM IS DETECTED IN MANY 2007. VERY SERIOUS COSTLY PROBLEM. WILL GM PAY FOR REPAIRS.
