STEERING
WE HAVE A 2007 PONTIAC G6, THE BASE 4 DOOR MODEL. THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING SUDDENLY EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V064000 THE BELT IS STILL THERE AND AFTER A COUPLE OF HOURS THE SENSOR STARTED WORKING AGAIN, BUT WHO KNOWS WHEN IT SWILL CUT OUT AGAIN. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS FOR 2007 PONTIAC G6 BUT OUR PARTICULAR VIN IS NOT LISTED. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE BUT FOR SOME REASON NHTSA HAS NOT EXPANDED THIS RECALL TO ALL 2007 G6 AND THE MANUFACTURER CAN CARE LESS. MY QUESTION IS AT WHAT POINT DOES NHTSA FORCE A MANUFACTURER TO RECALL SOMETHING THIS OBVIOUS? DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE AND THEIR FAMILY BE ON 20/20 BEFORE NHTSA MOVES THEIR BUREAUCRATIC ASSES? FROM ALL THE COMPLAINTS ITS OBVIOUS ALL 2007 G6 HAVE THIS POTENTIAL ISSUE. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, SOMEONE THERE PLEASE CONTACT THE MANUFACTURES ON THIS ISSUE AND HAVE THEM EXPAND THIS RECALL!!!!!!

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING, WHEELS
I HAVE HAD A RECURRING PROBLEM FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS, WHERE THE POWER STEERING, TRACTION CONTROL AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL ALL ATOP WORKING AT THE SAME TIME. I HAVE SOUGHT ASSISTANCE FROM GM. THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THE CAR ISN'T STORING A CODE. I HAVE PROVIDED THEM WITH PICTURES, BUT THEY CHOOSE NOT TO HELP. THE PROBLEM IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON OTHER YEARS OF THE PONTIAC G6. GM WEBSITE SAYS THEY FIX THE PROBLEM ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS. PICTURE AND VIDEO PROOF MEAN NOTHING IF THE CAR ISN'T STORING A CODE. CODES FLASH ACROSS DISPLAY THAT SAY "CHECK POWER STEERING " "SERVICE TRACTION" "SERVICE ESC". ONLY WAY FOR ME TO CLEAR IS TO SHUT OFF CAR AND TURN BACK ON. ALL PEER STEERING IS LOST WHEN PROBLEM OCCURS. ALTHOUGH I'VE LISTED. ONLY ONE DATE, WHICH WAS THE MOST RECENT, THE PROBLEM OCCURRED IN 1/2014, TWICE IN 7/2014, 12/2016 AND IN 3/2017.

STEERING
ON OUR WAY HOME YESTERDAY THE POWER STEERING LOCKED UP ON ME AND MY GIRLFRIEND ON THE HIGHWAY. HAD I NOT BEEN DRIVING AND ABLE TO MANUALLY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WE WOULD HAVE CRASHED. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE FOR MY 100LB GIRLFRIEND TO BE DRIVING.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE CLIPS THAT HOLD THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT LINKAGE HAVE COMPLETELY SNAPPED. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE IN 4 CYL MODELS AND SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO 6 CYL MODELS. MY CAR WILL NOT GO IN TO PARK. IT WILL NOT START. YOU CAN ACTUALLY OPEN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND SEE THAT THE LINKAGE HAS PLAY. THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. I'M THANKFUL WE LIVE IN A FLAT AREA. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND SOMEONE WILL END UP HURT OR DEAD BECAUSE OF IT.

STEERING
WHEN I START MY CAR IT STATES, "POWER STEERING SERVICE ESC" AND MY TRACTION CONTROL SYMBOL IS ON ON MY DASH BOARD. IT STARTED OFF ONLY DOING THIS WHEN I STARTED MY CAR AND NOW IT HAS STARTED TO DO IT MORE OFTEN AND WON'T TURN OFF. IT HAPPENS WHEN I'M DRIVING AND IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE I'M UNABLE TO TURN MY WHEEL/TURN MY CAR WHEN I AM DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND I CAN'T ALWAYS PULL OFF RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE IT HAPPENS AT ALL DIFFERENT AREAS/PLACES. IT HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY, ON BUSY ROADS WHILE TRYING TO TURN THROUGH ONCOMING TRAFFIC, IN STATIONARY, ETC.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN AROUND 2012 AND SINCE HAS HAD POWER STEERING ISSUES. THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AT LEAST ONCE EVERY COUPLE MONTHS AND WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE CAR WOULD BE SHUT OFF THEN TURNED BACK ON AND THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. IN THE LAST TWO DAYS THE POWER STEERING SHUTS OFF EVERY FEW MILES WHILE IN MOTION ON BOTH CITY STREETS AND ON THE HIGHWAY. WOULD TURN CAR OFF THEN BACK ON AND FEW MILES LATER THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. THERE ARE OTHER RECALLS FOR THE SAME ISSUE, SAME YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF AND THE MANUFACTURERS SHOULD BE PAYING FOR THIS ISSUE.

STEERING
I HAVE A LOUD RUBBING AND CLUNKING SOUND WHEN I TURN STEERING. I HAVE READ THAT IT IS A COMMON ISSUE IN GM PRODUCTS. I AM WORRIED THAT MY STEERING MAY FAIL WHILE DRIVING CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE ISSUE GOES AWAY DURING DAMP WEATHER. I HAVE HAD TIE ROD ENDS AND BALL JOINTS REPLACED.
