While driving my steering wheel will lock up n my car will reduce speed no warning lights to check engine lights on ..my saftey and my childs safety were at risk while driving her to school on a busy street
Driving the vehical down the road the steering gets hard and wont come back right away and also does it in turns and makes it hard to turn and almost hit someone its has the electronic power steering module
1. Loss of power assisted steering making it hard to control car. But I turn off car and turn back on, it works. 2. Steering column knuckle or u-joints are making a loud clunking noise when turning steering wheel. 3. BCM or Body Control Mudule is either bad or needs cleaning because cruise control nor traction controls work. I checked fuses and they are ok.
My car will flash "POWER STEERING" across the stereo notification screen and alarm and the power steering locks up as you drive and makes steering your vehicle impossible and unsafe! This was a recall which was supposedly repaired at Titus Will (dealership) some years prior when the car was previously owned by Kristena Fulton but it is still very much a problem and a HUGE safety risk. I've contacted their location and was yelled at by a female who stated they had repaired it previously and would NOT help me regarding this. This vehicle is dangerous and poses not only a safety risk which could result in serious injury and death should it be driven on a freeway or highway at the time this error occurs. I've taken video of this and am asking for this to be repaired ASAP as I transport my two children and could result in injury to myself and my children.
I just cranked my car up and tried to drive it in the only thing I had done was change my battery out and I watched all the forms on how to do repair this but apparently there's been a recall and it's just going to cost the thousands of dollars we could have died
While driving steering locked up, I had to strong arm the steering wheel in order to drive car too a safe place. Once I cut the car off and cut it back on it it was working fine. This is dangerous because I have gotten it looked at and thru can't find the issue help please
When I start my car my power steering doesn't work, I can shut the car off and restart it and it works. I can be driving and all of a sudden loose my power steering.
My electronic power steering gives out occasionally for no reason. It has happened within the first 5 minute of my starting my commute each time and has always been when driving. This is extremely concerning, my vehicles VIN number was not part of the recall for this exact issue on the same make as my car. The issue is for sure my power steering because I get a notification on my dash saying that my electronic power steering is failing. After shutting my car off and turning it back on the issue it typically fixed but this is still extremely concerning because it is incredibly dangerous especially if driving at high speeds.

The power steering locked up while driving with my teenage daughter and my one year old grandson.

I shut the car off and starters it again, power steering was fine. Moved about 10 feet in reverse and it happened again. Noe it doesnt want to turn at all. My car is a 2006 g6 v6 and I have had it scanned and nothing shows up?
While driving the steering becomes unresponsive and ceases up. When the car is restarted the steering is normal again for awhile but the problem persists. Researching this issue it is a known problem on this year and make of vehicle and also appears that it was included in a recall. This is a huge safety issue. I put the last date it happened to my daughter but this has been an ongoing problem. The vehicle currently has about 177,000 miles on it but has been happening for a while now.

The car was working fine and then about a week ago the car was in a parking lot and I started it to go to leave and I could not reverse I'm not sure what it's called but there was like some kind of clip that somebody had to piece together for me just so it would be able to be drivable also the power steering light cut flashing on the radio and I checked to see if there was any power steering fluid and I found out that it has that motor well whenever I go in reverse it sounds like the emergency brake is like on but it's not and whenever I'm driving it feels like it's being pulled to the right and it clicks if I turn it too far
Within a few minutes of driving 🚗 today I couldn't normally steer to either direction without pulling tremendously on the steering wheel, as well almost like its stalling out putter, , "gm, is short for god mode and can he build it, or "got man" cause he 'got ya' when you bought it.. Great. Love it. Fml
The steering almost gave out and making noise. The whole steering electric system needs to be replaced.
One day when I turned my car on a power steering message turned on out of nowhere. I turned my car off then back on and it seemed to work fine. A week passed then the message 'power steering' appeared again while driving making me unable to turn the vehicle at all. I had to stop and put my car in park turned it off then turned it back on multiple times before I could make it home.
