STEERING
WHILE DRIVING THE STEERING WHEEL WILL LOCK UP AND THE POWER STEERING NOTIFICATION WILL APPEAR. IF I TURN THE CAR OFF THEN BACK ON, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL UNLOCK. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE BECAME STATIONARY AND IN TURNING THE WHEEL TO TURN AND IN DRIVING. IT HAS HAPPENED EVERY WHERE BUT THE FREEWAY/ HIGHWAY.

STEERING
POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING 65 ON A FAIRLY STRAIGHT 65 MPH HWY. THE FAULTY PART IS THE TORQUE SENSOR ASSEMBLY WICH THERE IS A RECALL ON FOR 2007 VEHICLES MANUFACTURED UP UNTIL JUNE 2016 I BELIEVE. GM RECALL # 14772....EXPANSION OF RECALL 14V-153. SHOULD RECALL INCLUDE ALL 2007 PONTIAC G6 VEHICLES AS THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TAKATA RECALL. MY PONTIAC G6 2009 HAS A POWER STEERING RECALL BUT THEY WONT FIX IT BECAUSE IT DOESNT COME IN AS A RECALL WHEN THEY TYPE IN MY VIN BUT IV READ ABOUT THE RECALL, EVERY TIME IT GETS COLD MY POWER STEERING GOES OUT, DOESNT MATTER IF IM ON THE EXPRESSWAY OR JUST STARTED MY CAR IT RANDOMLY WILL GO OUT, I HAVE A ELECTRIC MOTOR SO I KNOW IM NOT JUST OUT OF FLUID, IT DOESNT HAPPEN IN THE SUMMER TIME ONLY WINTER WHEN IT GETS COLD. WHAT DO I DO? I DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT AND I FEEL IT IS WRONG THAT THE RECALL IS THERE BUT THEY WONT FIX IT JUST BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER DOES NOT MATCH THE RECALL.

POWER TRAIN
OVER A SHORT TIME THE TRANSMISSION KEPT TRYING TO GO IN TO 1ST GEAR BUT WOULD SLIP AND GO INTO 2ND GEAR. IT HAS THE RIGHT TRANSMISSION FLUID. THE SHIFT CABLE WORKS BUT WHEN I CHANGE TO REVERSE OR DRIVE IT WON'T GO INTO GEAR AND BASICALLY SITS THERE IN NO GEAR. IT GOES INTO PARK BUT WHEN I PUT IT TO DRIVE IT DOESNT GO INTO ANY GEAR AND SITS THERE AS IF IT'S IN NEUTRAL

STEERING
I AM WRITING ABOUT OUR 2006 PONTIAC G6. IT HAD ALREADY HAD THE RECALL (#14772-ELECTRIC POWER STEERING) WORK COMPLETED IN 2016 WHEN WE EXPERIENCED SOME STEERING ISSUES. ON OCTOBER 29, 2018, THE VERY SAME PART THAT HAD BEEN REPLACED IN THE RECALL FAILED AGAIN, PULLING MY HUSBAND INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AS HE WAS RETURNING HOME FROM WORK. FORTUNATELY, HE AVOIDED CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. WE HAVE TALKED WITH TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS, THE ONE THAT DID THE ORIGINAL RECALL REPAIR, AND ONE WE TRUSTED TO BETTER DEAL WITH THE ISSUE, AND ALSO WITH GM, WHO I FIRST TAGGED IN A TWEET, THEN THROUGH MESSAGING ON TWITTER. THEY OPENED CASE #8-4778293416. I HAD SOME MEDICAL WORK DONE RECENTLY, SO THE WORK HAS HAD TO BE PUT OFF LONGER THAN WE PREFER, BUT ONCE WE TOOK THE CAR TO DINSDALE CHEVROLET IN GRAND ISLAND, NEBRASKA, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE VERY SAME PART THAT WAS REPLACED PER THE RECALL WAS WHAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN, AND IT WILL COST US $715 TO GET THE REPAIR. WE HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE, AND LEARNED THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE ALSO HAD THE RECALL DONE PROPERLY, AND HAD THE PART FAIL AGAIN, ONLY TO LEARN THAT GM WILL NOT HONOR THE RECALL A SECOND TIME. NOW, IF THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT REQUIRED A RECALL, BUT THE 'FIX' IS ONLY TEMPORARY, THEY ARE NOT REALLY 'FIXING' THE PROBLEM, ARE THEY? THAT'S LIKE MORE OF A BANDAGE, NOT A REPAIR, IF YOU ASK ME, AND EVERY OTHER PERSON WHO HAS BEEN PLACED INTO A POTENTIALLY HIGHLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO FIND OUT WHETHER PEOPLE HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES AS A RESULT OF THIS 'TEMPORARY' REPAIR. I'M ANGRY THAT GM IS MAKING A CONSCIOUS CHOICE TO NOT HONOR THIS RECALL REPAIR, AND I FEEL THEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR A FAILURE OF ONE OF THEIR PARTS, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT WAS ALREADY FOUND TO HAVE A DEFECT. I AM ATTACHING THE SERVICE ORDER FOR THE FIRST RECALL WORK THAT WAS DONE. I CAN PROVIDE THE TWEET MESSAGES IF REQUESTED.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE TRANSMISSION CABLE LINK HAS A SMALL PLASTIC BUSHING ON IT WHICH IN MY CASE BROKE OFF COMPLETELY AND WHILE MY CAR WAS IN A PARKING GARAGE. THAT MADE MY CAR BECOME UNABLE TO START AS WELL AS ROLL BY ITSELF ALMOST CAUSING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN DAMAGE AND COST ME MONEY IN TOWING AND CAR REPAIR FEES FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. AND MY VEHICLE WAS NOT LISTED IN THE RECALL REGARDING A SIMILAR ISSUE LIKE THIS WITH GENERAL MOTORS

STEERING
AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN A RESIDENTAL STREET, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP & A NOTIFICATION CAME ACROSS MY DASHBOARD ADVISING ME "POWER STEERING". I WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER & WAS UNSURE WHAT TO DO. I TURNED MY CAR OFF & BACK ON, BUT THE POWER STEERING WAS STILL OUT. I TURNED MY CAR OFF & ON AGAIN, THIS TIME TURNING THE WHEEL AS I TURNED THE KEY, & IT WENT BACK TO NORMAL. WITHIN A FEW MINUTES OF ME STARTING TO DRIVE, THE WHEEL LOCKED UP AGAIN.

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY SENSOR CAME ACROSS THE RADIO AND STATED 'POWER STEERING'. WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS AND BEGAN TO TURN THE CAR, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY STIFF AS IF IT WAS LOCKED. MY STEERING WAS UNABLE TO LOCK, THEREFORE MY CAR HAD TO BE TOWED HOME BECAUSE IT WASN'T DRIVABLE.

TAKARA RECALL I WAS ON MY WAY TO A STORE DRIVING AND MY CAR STARTED SHAKING AND SO I GOT OF THE INTERSTATE AND IT STARTING ACTING LIKE IT WAS LOSING POWER SO I PULLED OVER SHUT IT OF FOR A HR AND TURNED IT BACK ON TRIED TO GO IN REVERSE NOTHING HAPPENED TRIED TO GO IN DRIVE NOTHING HAPPENED IT DIDNT YO ANYWHERE SO I PUT 2 QUARTS OF TRANSMISSION FLUID IN IT THEN IT WOULD GO IN DRIVE BUT NO REVERSE. I BROUGHT IT TO A GARAGE AND A TON OF CODES CAME UP THEY CLEARED IT AND TOLD ME NOT TO WORRIE ABOUT IT BUT IT SMELT WEIRD AND I NEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG.I BELIEVE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE TRANSMISSION CABLES AND A THROTTLE SENSOR BECAUSE IT WAS ACTING LIKE IT WANTED TO GO FAST N THE THROTTLE WOULD ACCELERATE WHEN I DIDNT PUSH MORE ON THE PADDLE KINDA LIKE IT WAS STUCK IN CRUISE CONTROL BUT EVEN WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKES IT STILL REV.
