The Power Steering stopped working randomly after driving on December 25th 2024, making it incredibly difficult to turn and keep the car steady. This made me feel very unsafe since I was driving my family. I searched online and apparently there had been recalls of my car model prior so I want to know if i qualify for this recall
When driving the steering will just stop working it is hard to turn wheel or control steering. I was told there was a recall on the steering system. There is a electrical problems within the steering system.

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.
After purchasing my 2007 Pontiac G6 from a private seller, I quickly noticed a significant decline in steering responsiveness within just four days. A mechanic later confirmed that the entire steering rack needs replacement, and the cost of this exceeds the current value of the vehicle itself. This abrupt failure of such a critical component renders the car unsafe to drive. The specific component that failed is the steering rack, and it is available for inspection upon request. The safety risk emerged as the vehicle became increasingly difficult to control, heightening the potential for accidents and injuries to both myself and others on the road. While the problem has been confirmed by an independent service center, it has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or any other entities. No warning lamps or messages were indicating an issue with the steering system before the failure. The decline in steering responsiveness happened suddenly, and no pre-existing symptoms were evident. Given the severity of this safety concern, I strongly urge the federal safety agency to promptly investigate and consider a recall. Failure to address this potential defect could result in preventable accidents and injuries to drivers, passengers, and other motorists. Your expeditious attention to this matter is crucial for ensuring public safety.
The contact owns a 2007 Pontiac G6. The contact stated while driving at 60 MPH, the vehicle began to vibrate abnormally. The contact stated several weeks later while stopped, the power steering message was displayed. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was restarted but the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic however, no cause for the failure was found. The mechanic reset the settings to the manufacturer's setting. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. The dealer was contacted, and the contact referenced the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 15V064000 (Steering). The dealer stated that the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 50,300.
The steering wheel will start to shake as you drive and then it will stop. It will start again, some times is jerking like it is going to break. I can be parked, going 10 mph or 55 mph, it was random but now it is increasing. I have taken to 2 shops and everyone thinks it is electrical.
GM has routed the high pressure power steering line up against the header exhaust. This was done consciously due to the fact that the manufacture put a foil heat shield sleeve on that section of the line. Anyone with a spec of engineering insight will confirm that this foil sleeve is a postponed or bandaid for the issue. It's not a fix nor a solution but a delay in the failure of the line. The thousands of exact same issues online reassures my assessment. The immediate conversion to manual steering with the rear tires covered in power steering fluid doesn't seem to fit well on an on ramp while elder driving. Thank you for your time.

Very dangerous today my power steering light came on. This is the first time the service light came in the but the problem itself started about 2 weeks ago. The steering wheel also vibrates on and off.

While driving the power steering ceased / seized up - car filled with grey smoke that smelled like burning rubber. Had vehicle towed, told it was steering pump - every year before and after the 2007 had a steering recall ??
I purchased my 2007 pontiac g6 4 cylinder with 40k on the odometer on 5/13/2021. I notice right away it started having problem when i drove it home and it has been almost three weeks now and the problem is intermitten. This issue happens on local road city speed (25mph) and on highway doing highway speed (60mph) intermittently. When this issue occurs the steering wheel shake like crazy and it seems like it wants to pull over to the left or the right (feels like the car wants to drive itself). I would have to put some force to keep the steering wheel straight. The error code would pop up on the radio display stating "power steering". There was a recall for this issue for the electronic power steering assist. The problem is that the recall expired 6/31/2006 and my car is made on 7/2006 so the vin number does not fall in the recall list. The situation is dangerous and this issue need to be address. This recall should extend to all 2005-2010 pontiac g6 with electronic power steering not just pick and choose which year can be on the recall list. This is ridiculous because GM know this problem and they don't care enough to do what they are supposed to do..Obviously I have no dealer warranty since the vehicle is 14 years old so a recall would help since the manufacturer is 110% at fault. GM should included more years on this recall list.. The amount gm dealer wants to fix the problem is ridiculous. Please help.
I'm on a busy city street and I went to put my vehicle from reverse into drive and I noticed that it wasn't going into gear and when I would accelerate on the gas to make my vehicle go it would just rev up like it wasn't a year and then I would you know take it back to reverse and then back to drive and it would still not go into gear finally after about two or three tries of this it finally got to go into drive and I made it to home the next morning when I went to leave I tried to crank my vehicle and it would not start so a friend of mine pop the hood and he noticed that the thing that puts my car into gear was not attached anymore and that is why my vehicle would not start and I had the problem that I had the night prior. Next problem I have is my airbag symbol pops up off and on while I'm driving and we'll stay on for a while and then go off and then it'll come back on about a week later and then it'll go off again and this happens when I'm driving on the highway down the street just randomly. Next is my power steering power steering when I start the vehicle and put my car into gear and attempt to turn my wheel to reverse or you know to get out of a parking position my power steering will be really hard really tight I try to turn it and I can't turn it very far because of the pressure behind it I will put my car back into gear turn off the car and turn my steering wheel as much as I can to the left as far as it'll go and then to the right as far as it'll go and then finally it will loosen up so where I can turn my vehicle.
My service air bag light is on. My passenger air bag doesn't work. My traction control, ESC, and ABS light come on. My panoramic sunroof wont close. All of these are on the recall list but apparently every car other than mine is bad. When I drive the ESC light will come on and pull me to the next lane. My passenger airbag is a safety concern for my passengers. I was on the freeway and my car went into the other lane and I almost hit a semi with my kids in the car. The car makes a loud whistle noise while driving, the car jerks to the left. The car makes loud noises in the front end like the car is gonna fall apart. Replaced the front end $1000.00 worth of work and still making the noise. Ate my brand new tires up. Milwaukee, wisconsin recall-13036 recall-14152 recall-n140115 recall-14v252000 recall-07v146000 recall-14e04400 recall-14772&14v‑153 recall-15v064000
Just out of nowhere one day while I was driving I made a stop at a stop light and suddenly when I resumed driving the light indicating 'power streering' came on and my power steering was no longer working. Now the power steering works intermittently but only after the car is turned off then back on and only works for a short time. I feel like it's getting worse the longer the problem consists .
Sudden loss of power steering while in motion. Unable to turn more than a few degrees in each direction. Very unsafe.
Power steering alert on radio screen when car is not in motion and steering wheel is hard to turn. I can turn the car off then back on and the alert will go off and the steering is back to normal. Once I start driving I get the alert again and my steering wheel gets stiff and hard to turn. I have also noticed that the steering wheel shakes some times when the car is in park. I went online and noticed that some makes and models of the same vehicle has had several recall. When I go on gm website. Its states my vehicle does not have any recalls on it. But my car is doing everything thats on the recall list for the same make and model of my vehicle.
