STEERING
I WAS WAITING IN A DRIVE THRU LANE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR MADE A CHIMING NOISE AND FLASHED POWER STEERING, SERVICE ESC AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND IT WAS FINE. THIS HAPPENED 4 OTHER TIMES AFTER THAT, HAVING TO RE-START MY CAR TO GET POWER STEERING. THEN WHEN MY CAR IS COMES TO STOP THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AND MAKES A TERRIBLE KNOCKING NOISE. VERY FRUSTRATING THAT MODELS 2006-2009 ARE RECALLED FOR EXACT SAME PROBLEM BUT NOT THE 2010??? GET WITH IT GM THIS IS A TERRIBLE HAZARD AND CLEARLY A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED! *TR

STEERING, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES PAST TWO WEEKS. ISSUE TYPICALLY OCCURS AT STARTING OF CAR, ONCE WHILE DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY: A CHIME IS HEARD, THE DIC DISPLAYS POWER STEERING, THE ESC OFF INDICATOR COMES ON, AND POWER STEERING IS LOST. TURNING OFF CAR AND RESTARTING CAN RESET AND POWER STEERING WORKS. WHEN POWER STEERING IS WORKING, THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES WHILE AT A STOP, CAN SOMETIMES BE FELT WHEN DRIVING. *TR

STEERING
POWER STEERING FAILED NUMEROUS TIMES, INTERMITTENTLY, CAUSING DRIVER TO USE A GREAT DEAL OF FORCE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR. IN SEEKING REPAIR AT GM DEALER, WAS TOLD MY CAR NOT ONE COVERED BY STEERING RECALL, THOUGH MY PROBLEM BEARS A STRIKING RESEMBLANCE TO THOSE OF THE COVERED VEHICLES. *TR

STEERING
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

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EXCESSIVE FUEL/GAS SMELL COMING FROM OUTSIDE THE CAR (08 PONTIAC G6). TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THE PROBLEM IS THE FUEL PUMP. AIRTEX RE-CALLED FUEL PUMPS SOLD IN 2013, AND THERE IS ALSO A RECALL FOR OTHER GM CARS AND SUV'S FOR THE SAME PROBLEM (SMALL CRACK ON TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP). IN AN EVENT OF A CRASH THE CAR CAN CATCH ON FIRE, THERE SHOULD BE AN INVESTIGATION AND THE PONTIAC G6 FUEL PUMPS SHOULD BE RECALLED, OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A DESIGN PROBLEM/MATERIAL USED ON THE FUEL PUMP THAT IS THE PROBLEM. *TR

STEERING
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

STEERING
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
