2009 PONTIAC G6 Complaints

MY 2009 PONTIAC G6 2.4L DISPLAYED POWER STEERING. IT BECAME MANUAL STEERING. I TURNED THE CAR OFF & RESTARTED IT. THE POWER STEERING WORKED AGAIN. I WAS IN A PARKING LOT. I CHECKED MY CARS INVOICES & THE VIN # CHECK WHICH SAID I HAD THE WORK DONE. I ALSO WAS DRIVING IN MY DRIVEWAY & THE WHEEL WOULD START TO TURN THEN LOCK UP & SNAP BACK HURTING MY WRIST. I WAS ABLE TO PARK IT.

WHEN FIRST STARTING UP THE VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL IS NORMAL. ONCE PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN GEAR, POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHTS COMES ON AND THE STEERING WHEN IS EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN. SOMETIMES THE STEERING WHEEL IS OKAY TO DRIVE THEN WHILE IN DRIVE, IT WILL SUDDENLY LOCK UP CAUSING THE VEHICLE HARD TO CONTROL.

POWER STEERING LOSS WHILE DRIVING HAD TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART HAS HAPPENED TO ME 3 TIMES THIS WEEK AND SRS PPS PROBLEM

THE POWER STEERING HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. FOR ABOUT A WEEK, THE POWER STEERING WAS INTERMITTENTLY ACTING UP, WHEN I WOULD START THE VEHICLE. EVENTUALLY, THE POWER STEERING WOULD GO OUT WHILE DRIVING, AND A MESSAGE OF POWER STEERING WOULD APPEAR ON THE DASHBOARD. MY REGULAR MECHANIC SAYS THAT THIS IS THE RESULT OF A FAULTY POWER STEERING TORQUE SENSOR.

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE POWER STEERING ASSIST QUIT ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THIS WAS CORRECTED TEMPORARILY AFTER SHUTTING VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTING IT. I HAD AT LEAST A DOZEN EPISODES OF THIS AND IT APPEARS TO BE HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY.THIS WOULD OCCUR AT TIMES WHEN FIRST ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE AND AFTER I HAD SLOWED DOWN TO MAKE A TURN. I HAVE NOT NOTICED IT WHILE AT IDLE. I AM CONCERNED OF THIS PREVENTING ME FROM STEERING IN A CRITICAL SITUATION. I AM TRYING TO USE THIS CAR AS LEAST AS POSSIBLE UNTIL IT IS CORRECTED.

I WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOST MY POWER STEERING AND POWER STEERING APPEARED ON MY RADIO. I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF THE EXPRESSWAY AND WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD, ALMOST TO THE INTERSECTION TO MAKE A LEFT TURN.

ON TWO DIFFERNT OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT I COULD TURN ENGINE OFF AND RESTART AND WOULD HAVE POWER STEERING

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, IT NO LONGER WOULD SHIFT GEARS. UNABLE TO SHIFT CAR OUT OF NEUTRAL EXCEPT FOR REVERSE AND HAD TO DRIVE THE CAR SEVERAL BLOCKS IN REVERSE TO GET IT HOME.
