STEERING
WHENEVER THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR EVEN IN MOTION AT LOW SPEEDS, THE STEERING LOCKS UP. THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE TURNED OFF THEN BACK ON IN ORDER FOR THE STEERING TO BE RELEASED. THERE HAS BEEN RECALLS ON THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR VEHICLE AS MINES, BUT MY VEHICLE BY VIN HAS NOT BEEN AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND GM SHOULD RECALL ALL VEHICLES TO HAVE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED. MY FIANCEE AND CHILDREN WERE IN THE CAR AS SHE WAS BACKING UP WHEN THE STEERING LOCKED UP. ANOTHER TIME SHE WAS TURNING THE CORNER WHEN THE STEERING LOCKED UP. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BECAUSE WE CAN NOT AFFORD THE REPAIRS AND CAN NOT AFFORD ANOTHER VEHICLE.

STEERING
MY CAR WAS FINE DRIVING TO A FRIEND'S HOUSE AND WHEN I WENT TO LEAVE AFTER 2.5 HOURS OF BEING THERE, A MESSAGE ON MY DASH CAME UP SAYING MY POWER STEERING WAS AT FAULT. NOW IT IS COMING BACK ON AND GOING OUT AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. APPARENTLY, MY SPECIFIC CAR IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. I FEEL AS THOUGH ANOTHER RECALL SHOULD BE OPENED FOR THIS BECAUSE IT APPEARS I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS CAR STILL HAVING THIS ISSUE.

STEERING
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 70MPH, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR BEEPED, BUT I DIDN'T SEE ANY WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD. IMMEDIATELY I NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL HAD LOCKED AND WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN. I WAS ABLE TO TILT IT JUST ENOUGH TO CHANGE LANES, BUT I WAS AFRAID I WOULD BE UNABLE TO MAKE ANY SHARPER TURN THAN THAT. I EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND AS I SUSPECTED, IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN THE WHEEL. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED RIGHT BEFORE A STEEP CURVE IN THE ROAD AND I WOULD NOT HAVE HAD TIME TO SLOW DOWN AND I WOULD HAVE RUN RIGHT OFF THE ROAD, UNABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL! I SEE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER PEOPLES' G6 JUST IN THE LAST FEW DAYS. PLEASE FIX OUR POWER STEERING! ENGINE STILL TURNS ON AND OFF, NOTHING WRONG WITH THE WAY IT DRIVES, JUST THE STEERING WHEEL IS STUCK.

STEERING
I LOST MY POWER STEERING GM RECALL NUMBER 14772 WHICH IS THE SAME THAT I GOT SERVICED A WHILE BACK. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE ANOTHER RECALL DUE TO MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS ME. I FEEL THAT THE NEW PART IS JUST AS FAULTY.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
TAKATA RECALL. SOMETHING HAPPENED TO MY STEERING. THE WARNING LIGHT IS ON, IT GETS SO TIGHT YOU CANNOT STEER IT. IT ALSO SAYS TO SERVICE THE AIRBAG. I'M SO SCARED TO TRY TO DRIVE IT. IF YOU SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT THE STEERING WHEEL FEELS LOOSE AGAIN, BUT LIKE YOU DO NOT HAVE COMPLETE CONTROL. THEN IT'S TIGHT ALL OVER AGAIN. THIS WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY.

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM A SHOPPING TRIP ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND A LIGHT FLASHED ON THE DASHBOARD INDICATING MY POWER STEERING WAS AT FAULT. I WAS DRIVING AROUND 45 MPH AND HAD DIFFICULTY STEERING. I SLOWED DOWN AND PULLED OFF THE ROAD TO CHECK WHAT HAPPENED. IT THEN OCCURRED TO ME THAT THIS WAS ELECTRONIC STEERING AND NOT HYDRAULIC. I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME WITH OUT ANY ADDITIONAL ISSUES.

STEERING, VISIBILITY/WIPER
POWER STEERING GOES OUT A FEW MINUTES UPON DRIVING AND THE WHEEL BECOMES HARD TO TURN. SOMETIMES IT WILL RETURN FOR A BRIEF MOMENT WHEN STARTING THE CAR. ALSO THE WINDOW WASHER PUMP IS FAULTY CAUSING NO FLUID TO COME OUT WHEN PRESSED, WHICH COULD LEAD TO VISIBILITY PROBLEMS IN WINTER WITH ALL THE SAND AND SALT ON THE ROADS
