Im still having issues with the power steering, it even caused my alignment to go bad and multiple flats tires. With the last flat tire, my service airbag light came on as well, just randomly.

Takata recall. My driver side airbag light is on and will not go off. I have taken it to the shop who says that it is a sensor. I replaced the sensor and the airbag light still will not go off. The airbags have been recalled but my VIN number is not on the list.

Takata recall. But not only the air bags. There is a clicking noise when I steering, sometimes causing the air bag light to come on. There is a vibrating coming from the driver's side front when at speed that shakes the steering wheel even after the tires are balanced and the struts and tie rods were replaced. If I grab the steering wheel with both hands, it moves up and down. When parallel parking, the power steering fails making it impossible to turn the wheel without hitting the gas and putting the car in motion. I've noticed in my research that other g6 models of this year and surrounding years were recalled for all of the problems I am having. When I asked the person at chevy dealer about it, she told me I was out of luck until the VIN pops up in their system. This has been happing since my wife got the car in 2007 apparently, and since we just had a baby, we are looking into it more. I've been waiting on the recalls to be expanded to her VIN, but nothing. Is there anything we can do, other than paying to rebuild the whole steering system of which others with the same problems were covered? Thanks for any help.

Service airbag warning light appears intermittently. I purchased this vehicle 2 weeks ago. It only has 46,000 miles and all was well for about a week. I was getting off the interstate and the driver side service airbag light illuminated. I stopped at the off ramp and proceeded down a 30 MPH street. Stayed on for about 5 minutes and turned off. About 4 days later while traveling on the interstate, the light illuminated again. Stayed on for about 10 minutes and then turned off. This time I was not stopping but continuously driving about 70 MPH. My concern is the safety issue. While that light is illuminated, the airbag will not deploy. There has not been a recall and while looking online, there are quite a few people that have this issue. I've been reading other complaints and it sounds like the sensor in the seat is at fault. I checked to see if my vehicle had any open recalls and there were none.
