TRACTION HAS BEEN TURNED OFF AND WILL NOT COME BACK ON WITH PRESSING THE TRACTION BUTTON. WHILE BRAKING THE CAR PULLS QUICKLY TO THE LEFT, IT'S REALLY BAD WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AT A GREAT AMOUNT OF SPEED. WHILE BRAKING TO GO AROUND A CURVE THE STEERING PULLS THE OTHER DIRECTION THEN WHAT YOUR TURNING SO YOU HAVE TO KEEP A FIRM GRIP ON THE STEERING WHEEL

SERVICE BRAKES
I OWN A 2007 PONTIAC G6. I WAS DRIVING A COUPLE WEEKS AND MY POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ACROSS MY RADIO WITH BEEPS, WITH THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING WHEN IN STATIONARY AND DRIVING AND THEN AFTER A FEW MINUTES I WOULD SUDDENLY LOOSE POWER STEERING. I WOULD PULL OVER AND TURN CAR OFF AND TURN BACK ON AND IT WOULD WORK FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN ONCE AGAIN SUDDENLY LOOSE POWER STEERING. THE LAST 5 DAYS THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT IMMEDIATELY AND I HAVE NO POWER STEERING. DUE TO THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING AT ANY DRIVING SPEED, I WOULD STILL HAVE SOME ABILITY TO TURN THE WHEEL BUT IT IS NOT EASY AND MAKES THINGS MORE DANGEROUS WHILE TRAVELING OR DURING A TURN. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO MECHANIC, MY CAR WAS DIAGNOSED : TORQUE SENSOR IN THE EPS SYSTEM. I STARTED DOING SOME RESEARCH TO SEE IF THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. I CAME ACROSS A RECALL FOR THE SUDDEN LOSS OF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING IN A 2007 PONTIAC G6 WHICH WAS DATED FEBRUARY 4,2015. I WAS READING THE RECALL WHICH WAS DESCRIBED AS TO WHAT MY PROBLEM IS WITH MY CAR. THE RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V064000 I ALSO CAME ACROSS A SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT -LOSS OF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING. MY CARE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE GM TORQUE SENSOR ASSEMBLY RECALL. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SERIOUS DEFECT, WHEN THERE IS A RECALL AND A SPECIAL COVERAGE. GM TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT FIX MY CAR BECAUSE IT WAS NOT IN RECALL AND ALSO TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE THE SPECIAL COVERAGE WAS EXPIRED THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR REPAIRS. I FIND THIS VERY DISTURBING, WHEN AT ONE POINT GM WAS FIXING THIS PROBLEM IN 2007-2010 PONTIAC G6. GM TOLD ME I SHOULD HAVE GOT A LETTER ABOUT THIS SPECIAL WARRANTY. I NEVER RECEIVED THIS LETTER, OR I WOULD HAVE GOT THIS COMPLETED AT THAT TIME. I FEEL THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE RELOOKED AT TO KEEP PEOPLE SAFE ON THE ROADS..

STEERING
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 AND NOTIFICATIONS ON DASHBOARD. GM STATES THIS 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 MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AS I CAN NO LONGER RELY ON THE VEHICLE TO DRIVE AS EXPECTED WITHOUT KNOWING WHEN THE POWER STEERING WILL BE LOST. SERIOUS POTENTIAL OF CRASH AS TURNING MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE WHILE IN MOTION. IT OCCURS FOR EVERY POWER UP OF THE VEHICLE. PLEASE HAVE GM INVESTIGATE THAT MORE 2006-2007 PONTIAC G6 VEHICLES WITH THAT SAME TORQUE SENSOR BE IMPACTED BY RECALL 14722.

STEERING
I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AT 60 MPH WHEN I GOT A "POWER STEERING" MESSAGE ON THE MESSAGE CENTER. I NOTICED THAT MY POWER STEERING WAS NO LONGER WORKING. I PULLED OVER, TURNED MY CAR OFF AND WHEN I RESTARTED IT I HAD POWER STEERING AGAIN. THE NEXT DAY, THE SAME THING HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 60 MPH. TWO WEEKS LATER, MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND ATTEMPTING TO TURN A CORNER WHEN THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS ISSUE WAS A RECALL IN 2009 BUT IN 2010 IT BECAME A SAFETY BULLETIN. WHY? IT WILL COST ME OVER $600 TO FIX THIS ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A RECALL NOTICE.

STRUCTURE:BODY
THERE IS DRAIN TUBING CONNECTED TO THE SUNROOF THAT COMES UNCONNECTED BECAUSE ITS TOO SHORT AND LEAKS/POURS WATER ALL OVER THE PASSENGER FRONT AND BACK SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. IT HAPPENS WHETHER YOURE DRIVING IT OR ITS SITTING STILL. WATER JUST POURS IN AND SOAKS EVERYTHING ON PASSENGER SIDE.
