When starting from stop, making a right or left turn the power steering stops working, the steer shaft makes a grinding squeal sound and you need force to turn the steering wheel.

While pulling out of a parking spot steering wheel began grinding and popping. While driving the steering wheel becomes tight and I cannot keep the steering wheel straight to drive straight. Was told this is a normal problem, and was verified with VIN that my vehicle is not part of the steering failure recall. . While turning into intersections, steering wheel will not turn and I have to manually force the wheel to turn and it will not make short turns, all turns are like driving a semi, must make wide turns.

Was driving down the street slowed down to turn into a gas station when my car lost power to the steering. There was no warning or ding at the time it occurred. Also when turning the steering will shake and squeal on a sharp turn at times. Also has clinking noises from front steering system. Took into dealer little after we bought the car but they told us they could never hear what I was talking about. Took it in like 4 or 5 times for this issue and was told each time they did not hear it so they could not fix it. Will never buy another pontiac again let alone pay 21,000 dollars for a piece of clunk like this. *tr updated 12/1/2014

When the car is at a speed of approximately 40mph and the brakes are pressed the steering wheel shakes. The steering wheel is also making a clicking noise when it's turned from left to right. Also I noticed that the brake lights are staying on when I'm driving the car and then shuts off after the brakes are applied (for example at a traffic light) the brake lights are then back on again after driving off. In addition I have contacted the service part of gm regarding the remote start which was installed before I bought the car. The remote start has had problems since purchase and I have gone back numerous times for them to fix it, to no avail. The car starts, then shuts off. After the key is applied to start the car, which it does, when the brakes are applied there is a grinding noise to put the car into gear. If the car is started without the remote start the grinding noise is not there when the car is put into gear.

I was just informed that my 2007 g6 requires a second new steering rack at 49900 miles. The first one was replace at 33000 miles. Now the warranty has expired and I have to pay $900 out of my pocket. The dealership makes no excuses for gm parts that only last 2 years and 17k miles. I have also had the same complaints as everyone else: who owns this car: brake squeaking and short life (rear brakes have been completely replaced twice), intermediate steering shaft, steering column problems, etc. I don't understand how gm can ignore all of these complaints, especially the ones regarding safety!

Grinding noise comes from steering column when accelerating and turning at same time (I.e. Turning from one road to another after stopping at signal or sign). Has done it since 2008. Bought the car new in aug 07. Also, driver's side window will go down like it is supposed to when door is opened but intermittently goes back up all the way right after door is opened. Have to hit the unlock or lock button to get it back into place.

Bought brand new 2007 pontiac g6 in september of 2007. Called dealership complaint of brakes squealing around august 2009. Dealership stated it was due to metallic brakes pads and that it was normal for brakes to squeal. June 2010 out driving noticed steering column shakes at high speeds while slowing down and car was hard to stop. Stopped at nearest gm dealership shortly after. They stated it was due to me stopping to hard on the brakes over time and the rotors have warped due to the excessive heat. Noticed car is still hard to stop at regular driving speeds now. Took car back to dealership where I bought it to inspect and they told me it was my fault again and also it wasn't covered through my warranty due it being normal wear and tear. They didn't even inspect it.the car only has 24,000 miles on it now. It's still hard to stop and shakes horribly when slowing down at high speeds. Concerned for my safety, my child's safety, and other drivers safety.
