Car loses power steering randomly...it has gone out in traffic...it usually goes out as soon as I put it in drive but if i turn the car off and re start it it steers fine. But when it lost power during rush hour traffic I was almost run over and had the hardest time steering to safety. Why is there not a recall on this because I've seen several reports of this happening.

Sudden lose of power steering. After car starts up, power steering is present, however after vehicle is moving, sudden lose of the power steering occurs. A check of my VIN states my 2007 g6 is not related to the federal safety agency bulletin 15v064000, however it is for the same exact make, model, year, and part that is affected. The gm recall number is 14772. This is a serious safety hazard that could result in major crash with potential for serious injury or death as steering is lost while in motion. It now occurs every time vehicle is driven after a short distance on road. Gm needs to investigate that more 2006-2007 pontiac g6 vehicles with that same torque sensor be impacted by recall 14722 immediately.

I have replaced the alternator, the electric power steering assist motor and air filter on multiple occasions and, after doing some research, have found that my car is experiencing every issue th's to have seen in previous gm vehicle safety recalls. Unfortunately, my VIN number seems to be one of those that has not been identified has having had those issues although it currently is experiencing them. I want to lodge a complaint that the VIN number search tool is not accurate enough to determine the validity of a claim. I say this because even on the federal safety agency website, the tool says that not all VIN numbers that are experiencing issues with a recall have actually been associated to any recalls. As there do exist current recalls for all 07 pontiac g6 models, there are no recalls related to my specific VIN number. But, all of the recalls directly mention every issues that my car is currently experiencing. Including, the transmission not properly shifting due to a madness or break in the shift cable, the power steering motor suddenly dying, the car experiencing a sudden loss of power, etc. Each of these issues is directly mentioned in a recall for g6 models in general, but for some reason, not for my car, specifically?
