STEERING
THIS 2006 G6 BELONGS TO MY WIFE AND ACCORDING TO GM THE VEHICLE HAS ALREADY HAD RECALL 14772 AS WELL AS 14116 AND THIS VEHICLE IS STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKING UP WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS ON ALL TYPES OF ROADS FROM INTERSTATES TO COUNTRY ROADS AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN. IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW FAST SHE IS DRIVING, IF SHE IS TURNING, OR WHAT THE WEATHER IS. SHE HAS TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, REMOVE KEY FROM IGNITION, REINSTALL KEY AND FINALLY RESTART VEHICLE AND HOPEFULLY THE STEERING WILL WORK AGAIN. THIS IS COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY UNSAFE AND I CAN NOT LET HER CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AS WE HAVE A YOUNG DAUGHTER THAT FREQUENTLY RIDES IN THIS VEHICLE, SO WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO WHEN THE RECALLS DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM?

STEERING
THE STEERING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT HAS FAILED WITH LESS THAN 80,000 MILES ON THE CAR. IT STARTED OUT AS A 'CLUNK' WHEN ACCELERATING THAT CAN BE FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL, AND EVENTUALLY GOT TO THE POINT WHERE THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD BIND UP WHEN TURNING, WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN WITH A 2007 SATURN ION, AND MY COWORKER HAD IT HAPPEN WITH A 2008 CHEVROLET MALIBU. BOTH HAVE THE SAME STEERING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT AND ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM.

POWER TRAIN
MY SON WAS DRIVING MY CAR TONIGHT. HE CALLED ME FROM HIS FRIENDS HOUSE AND SAID THAT THE CAR WAS STUCK IN NEUTRAL, CAR WAS OFF, BUT COULDN'T REMOVE IGNITION KEY. I GOT THERE, CAR WAS PARKED IN FRIENDS DRIVEWAY, I STARTED THE CAR, WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE SHIFTER, EVEN THOUGH I COULDN'T FEEL IT SHIFTING INTO ANY GEAR. I THEN SHIFTED IT INTO WHAT I "ASSUMED" WAS PARK, SHUT CAR OFF, REMOVED KEY, AND CAR STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS. I APPLIED THE E-BRAKE, BUT THE CAR KEPT ROLLING. I WENT AHEAD AND ROLLED IT BACKWARDS OUT OF THE DRIVE SINCE I KNEW IT HAD TO BE TOWED FROM THE FRONT END. I HAD TO BACK MY OTHER CAR UP TO IT, BUMPER TO BUMPER TO STOP IT FROM ROLLING BACKWARDS UNTIL THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED.

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING, LOSE ABILITY TO TURN THE WHEEL. WILL GET CHATTER AS WELL AS LOUD BANG ON OCCASION. THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS AND RECENTLY WHILE MY 18 YR OLD SON (HIS CAR) WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY PULLING OFF AN EXIT GOING 45 MPH AND THANKFULLY WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND AVOID OTHER CARS. CAR HAS SAT SINCE WAITING FOR A MECHANIC TOO LOOK AT IT, WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT TO BE TOWED. VERY DANGEROUS AND LOOKS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE BUT FOR SOME REASON, NOT PART OF RECALL FOR 2006 AND 2008. CAR HAS APPROX 107K MILES ON IT. GM SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING BY THEIR CUSTOMERS IF THEY WANT TO KEEP THEM. OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT IN STEERING WHCIH THEY HAVE OWNED UP TO FOR OTHER YEARS..
