Loud popping noise when you turn the steering wheel to the right or left. Driving down the street and the radio screen went completely blank and the radio wouldn't come on. Cut car off and turned back on and radio came back on. Repaired control arms, ball joints, and struts. Popping noise continues. Think its in the electric steering column.

The electric power assist motor failed on my pontiac g6. There was no warning until it went out, then it was extremely difficult to steer and a "power steering" warning was displayed on radio. After turning the car off and restarting it, it reset, only to happen again and again. The steering went out about two dozen times in the span of a week before I could make it to the dealership. One time on the interstate I it happened and I almost lost control of the car while going around 60 MPH. I had to have the electric power assist motor replaced, and then the entire steering column. So far the fix has worked. Just hope gm does the right thing and recalls all faulty vehicles before someone is seriously hurt or injured as a results of loss of steering.

Tl*the contact owns a 2006 pontiac g6 gt. While driving the vehicle off the dealer lot at approximately 2 MPH, there was an electrical failure with the power windows. In addition, the cell phone charger fuse continued to blow out. The dealer stated that they would make repairs under warranty. There was bubbling in the paint job that was also repaired under warranty. Whenever the vehicle is started, the stereo changes from xm fm to am. The screen for the xm radio is blank, the clock is always behind, and the fuel gauge never works properly. It is difficult to tell exactly how much fuel is in the vehicle. The engine ticks periodically and it sometimes stalls upon starting. The nuts in the door loosen every two weeks and make a loud clunking sound when they are coming loose. There is also something wrong with the power steering. The failure mileage was 20 and current mileage was 18,000. Update 09/10/08 *cw the power steering failed and was replaced, but it still was not right. The drive shaft began to unusual noises. Updated 09/10/08.
