2005 Pontiac G6: engine stalls while driving

Filed Nov 16, 2020 · Electrical · 185,000 miles · OH

My pontiac has had a leak for 6 yrs basically since I had it and before that. I didn't think nothing of this but after a while of the sunroof leak it causes corrosion on the electrical terminals in the wire harness inside the dash on driver door side. This corrosion cause your car to throw PCM/tac codes : p0601,p0606,o0107. Causes car to complete stall out and go into reduced engine power mode. This can be extremely unsafe. I am not the only one there is a few hundred people who posted on sites trying to fix the same issue. Please look into this a lot of people don't know about this the federal safety agency to report recalls.

For the past 2 weeks my steering wheel has been locking up while driving in my street. For example today it did so, and then it stalled and was followed by the "power steering" message displaying on the radio, along with wrench icon on the dash. This is really scary and needs to be attended to. Another issue that occurs, is that the steering wheel will move by itself from left to right. It will even do this when in park. Please make a recall for this.

When I left my home 2 blocks away I approached a stop sign and completed the stop. I was in the process of completing a left hand turn when midway through the power steering failed and the engine almost stalled. This caused my vehicle to become very difficult to steer to the nearest dealership which was less than a .25 mile away. During my brief trip the steering never returned and the engine continued to run ruff. There was one repair regarding my power steering done. A part was replaced it was something like a servo motor dealing with the electronic power steering. That repair was done sometime in the summer of 2006. This time no faults where found in the system. There was no repair done to the vehicle. I feel this is not the last time this will happen.

I was making a sharp left turn in a parking lot. The car stalled and the steering locked up for a couple of seconds. I saw that the rpms had dropped to zero. Everything came back on and I continued. A very funny and scary few seconds. I see by reading other complaints, this is a problem with the new g6.
