STEERING
THE OTHER DAY, I WAS DRIVING TO SCHOOL AND MY CAR STARTED SHAKING REALLY BAD. IT WAS WHEN I JUST HIT ABOUT 55 MPH. THEN, 2 DAYS LATER, I GET A DINGING AND THE WORDS "POWER STEERING" SHOWING UP ON MY DIU. I WAS GOING AROUND A CORNER, SO IT WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN. I THEN STARTED DOING MY RESEARCH TO FIND OUT A LOT OF 2006 G6 HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I AM PRETTY SURE I HAVE TO REPLACE THE STEERING COLUMN, WHICH WILL COST A LOT OF MONEY. WHICH I DON'T HAVE RIGHT NOW, BEING A COLLEGE STUDENT. *TR

AIR BAGS, STEERING
I HAVE A 2007 PONTIAC G6. ON AT LEAST 5 OCCASIONS I HAVE LOST MY POWER STEERING. USUALLY WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. IT ALSO HAPPENED ONCE WHEN I WENT OVER A FROST HEAVE. THIS HAS ALL BEEN WITHIN THE LAST MONTH. LAST NIGHT I WENT OVER ANOTHER FROST HEAVE AND MY SERVICE AIR BAG CAME ON. IT STAYED ON THE NEXT 4-5 TIMES I DROVE MY CAR. IT FINALLY SHUT OFF THIS AFTERNOON. *TR

STEERING
WHEN DRIVING THE STEERING WHEEL TURNS WITH EASE TO LEFT BUT VERY HARD TO THE RIGHT. THERE IS ALSO A CLICKING NOISE WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. IN DOING SOME RESEARCH IT SOUNDS LIKE I AM ONLY ONE OF MANY WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. EITHER THE POWER STEERING OR ELECTRIC STEERING IS FAULTY AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED WHEN DRIVING BECAUSE THE STEERING COLUMN HAS FAILED. *TR

STEERING
STEERING ASSIST MOTOR SHORTED RESULTING IN LOSS OF POWER STEERING. COULD HAVE RESULTED IN ACCIDENT IF I HAD BEEN IN A CURVE OR TURNING. I HAVE REPAIRED IT, BUT GM IS NOT RESPONDING TO REQUESTS FOR REIMBURSEMENT DUE TO WARRANTY BEING UP. CAR HAS APPROX 40,000 MILES. CAR HAS ALSO HAD LEAK IN THE FUEL RAIL AT 25,967 MILES AND A FUEL PUMP SHORT AT 1,548 MILES. *TR

STEERING, AIR BAGS
WHILE TURNING RIGHT OR LEFT USUALLY AT A SLOW SPEED OR FROM A COMPLETE STOP MAKING A SHARP TURN, THE STEERING POPS, YOU CAN HEAR AND FEEL IT IN THE STEERING WHEEL. IT STARTED AT ABOUT 50,000 MILES AND HAS CONTINUED WHILE GETTING GRADUALLY WORSE. I TOOK IT IN WAY BACK WHEN IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND TOLD THAT THE STEERING ARM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT I COULD NOT AFFORD IT AT THE TIME SO I WAITED AND NOW UNFORTUNATELY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AT 81,000 MILES. RECENTLY (JUST AFTER MY WARRANTY EXPIRED!) THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND OFF WHILE MY HUSBAND OR I AM SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. WE COMMUTE 2 HOURS A DAY ON A VERY DANGEROUS PASS. WE ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS. I WILL BE CHECKING WITH MY LOCATE DEALER TO FIND OUT IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAG. *TR

STEERING
POWER STEERING LOCKS UP. HAVE TO SHUT OFF AND RESTART SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT UNLOCKS. VERY UNSAFE. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY. HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE. HAVE RESEARCHED PROBLEM AND SEEMS THAT MANY PEOPLE WITH SAME CAR ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I NO LONGER HAVE WARRANTY BUT FEEL IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY GM DUE TO MANUFACTURE DEFECT. *TR

STEERING, EQUIPMENT
AT AROUND 51,000 MILES MY PONTIAC G6 (2007) BEGAN VEERING TO THE LEFT AND LOCKING UP. I HEARD A CLUNKING NOISE SEVERAL DAYS BEFORE THIS HAPPENED WHEN I TURNED THE WHEEL FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. THE CLUNK STARTED OFF SOMEWHAT QUIET AND THEN GOT LOUDER AND CAUSE IT TO BECOME DIFFICULT TO TURN. WHEN I WOULD BRAKE THE CAR WOULD SHAKE AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD TURN LEFT AND RIGHT RAPIDLY ON IT'S OWN. I HAD ALL MY BRAKE PADS REPLACED, EVEN THOUGH THE MECHANIC SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. I HAD THE STEERING RACK REPLACED. THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY FOR 3 MONTHS AND THEN RETURNED. THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN LOCKING AGAIN MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO RECOVER FROM A NORMAL TURN. I HAD THE STEERING RACK REPLACED AGAIN. NOW 6 WEEKS LATER THE CLUNKING AND SHAKING AND STEERING PROBLEMS ARE BACK. COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROBLEM ARE ALL OVER THE INTERNET. I HAVE HAD THIS STEERING RACK REPLACED 2 TIMES AND NOW IT NEEDS TO BE DONE AGAIN. ALL THESE REPLACEMENTS HAVE HAPPENED OVER A 9 MONTH PERIOD. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.- *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I OWN A 2005 PONTIAC G6 AND HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL. IT WILL DISENGAGE WHILE ON AND THEN THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL GO ON AND OFF. YESTERDAY, MY 16 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING IT HOME FROM SCHOOL AND HAD THE CRUISE ON. IT STARTED ACCELERATING AND HE COULD NOT GET IT TO COME OFF IMMEDIATELY. IT TOOK HIM CLOSE TO 2 MINUTES TO GET IT TO GO OFF. IT HAD ACCELERATED CLOSE TO 90 MPH. I NOTIFIED GM AND THEY TOOK MY INFORMATION AND SAID IT WOULD BE DOCUMENTED. I AM AFRAID IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO EITHER WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM OR COMPUTER ISSUES. THIS IS VERY SCARY WITH EVERYTHING GOING ON WITH TOYOTA AND TO KNOW IT COULD BE HAPPENING TO OTHER CARS ALSO. *TR

STEERING
MY DAUGHTER HAS REPORTED TO ME THAT HER ( 2005 PONT. G-6 ) HAS LOST ITS POWER STEERING SEVERAL TIMES SINCE SHE PURCHASED IT LAST YEAR. TOOK IT IN TO DEALER FOR PROBLEM - THEY INFORMED US THAT THE PROBLEM WAS A LIMIT SENSOR IN THE STEERING COLUMN THAT REQUIRED THE STEERING COLUMN TO BE REPLACED. CHAT ON INTERNET CLAIM THAT REPLACEMENT OF STEER COLUMN WAS EXPENSIVE AND DID NOT ALWAYS FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR
