Power steering message is continually coming accross my radio. I've taken it to a chevrolet dealer and I was told there is recalls for this on my car but gm tells me there isn't. I know I only had 1 recall done on my car and that was for my brake lights.

Steering locks and hard to turn and headlight dims while turns steering wheel
I was driving down the street this morning, the 14th of october, 2019, when out of nowhere my power steering went out. The car was pulled to the side of the road. If I would have been driving any faster (as I was only going around 30 MPH) I more than likely would have been thrown over the side of the hill. My power steering returned when I restarted my car but I can't drive in fear that it will go out again.

Steering wheel tightens as if it's really hard for myself to turn it,some days when starting car afterwards the steering wheel goes back and forth by itself then the steering wheel will listen where it's I say too easy to control,everyday it seems to be different I can go 2-3 days where it's easy to control then all a sudden for a day or two it stays super hard for me to turn.there days where I jus don't drive it cause of how it's really hard to turn the wheel,I don't get to leave town ever in it because afraid of it possibly locking up on me causing me to wreck,it's my only vehicle can't afford another one and defenitely can't afford to fix it.ive been told there was a recall on the steering for 2006 but I googled it few times and found where there was no recall I was looking forward to the recall...I purchased the vehicle feb 2019 off a friend of mine and he says the steering had an issue he didn't have time to mess with it so...

While driving the wheel will stutter and turn by itself and begin to lock up and lose power steering. The car was already looked at and torque sensor was replaced from a previous recall but the problem still remains and the dealership will not change again. I fear I will lose control of my car.
My 2006 pontiac g6 has been giving my wife issues while she is driving. At random times, the power steering goes out, ABS sensor comes on, and the lights inside and outside the car start to dim. This has caused her to nearly have an accident and is unsafe for the road. I replaced the battery and the alternator because it seemed like a power issue, but there was more behind the issue. Whenever I called my gm dealer, they told me there was an extended warranty on the vehicle and they would replace the torque sensors in the power steering system if the vehicle was under 150,000 miles. Since I was never notified by gm of this extended warranty issue and had to call them directly to find out there was an issue, my vehicle has 155,000 miles on it and they will not fix it.
Takata recall, the power steering light keeps flashing on and off when I hit a bump. The steering has not gone out yet but it flashes all the time. I have noticed recalls for this on other 06 pontiac g6 but not for my VIN. This has been happening for a few months.
I was driving one day, and I went to make a right turn and all of a sudden the steering wheel locked up and the power steering displayed on the dash. It has been happening since and mechanics don't want to work on it because of the area it's in. It's been going on for almost 1yr, and it's really annoying and tiring.

I've contacted gm regarding the issue I'm having with my vehicle, I'm having problems with my power steering. My vehicle wheel becomes hards to turn when reversing car. This is the second time this happened, I've been told my eps is bad. I took my car to a gm dealership in 2014 after receiving notice about torque recall on the power steering. I'm having problems with my power steering, I was told the part that was replaced in 2014 has expired. I don't understand that due to the recall being fixed and now having defaults. I'm concerned for my safety .

In 2014 I recieved a recall on my pontiac g6 2006 to inform me of a faulty power steering. So I took my car to a gm dealership to get the recall fixed.

Now it's been 5 years later my car power steering is locking up and the steering wheel jerks while driving as well as, while in park. I'm getting the run around from gm my car is needed for working and school but. I'm afraid to drive it due to the fear thr car may lock up on me again. Feb 22, 2019 whild pulling out of a parking space my vehicle lost power to the steering wheel making it difficult to turn the wheel. Thankfully no other cars where coming, I was able to pull out. I turned the car off and back on... I prayed the while time while driving home with my 7 year old son in the back seat.

Electric power steering assist works intermittently. Car was manufactured 22 days prior to april 18, 2006 manufacture date for g6's covered under recall number 15v064000. Sometimes won't work at engine start-up, then begins working; sometimes stops working while vehicle is in motion. Unpredictable but power steering warning light comes on every time it occurs.
