My vehicle was stationary at a red light waiting to turn left on a city street in park, as I tried shifting gears back to drive the car jerked forward very intensely ' which it has done multiple times before' . Before reaching the drive position. It then proceeded forward out of my control into the back of a truck linking my front bumper to the hinge on the back of the truck.. In the midst of that I immediately tried shifting into reverse but doing so was very difficult has the car kept pressing forward into the back of the truck, so I put the car in park then back to reverse when it finally shifted into the reverse gear vigorously which then abled be to detach from the truck. I pulled to the nearest parking lot to check the damage, and seen multiple leaks not sure where from.
Was driving down the road at 70 MPH and went to start turning for a corner and I could hardly turn my wheel do to the electric power steering temporarily going out almost causing an accident. Then I did some research on why it did this to find out it is a problem with a lot of the pontiac g6 models. Some of them have been recalled but not all the affected ones.

Power steering keeps making a whinning when vehicle is not turning or in motion. Having continuously fill reservoir with fluid. Causes very hard steering when turning wheels. I ran into my friends vehicle while turning around in my yard from hard to manage the steering. The doors lock and unlock on it's own at any given time. Caused me two occasions of locksmiths to unlock car. Key fob never worked since purchased. 10
While driving, lose ability to turn the wheel. Will get chatter as well as loud bang on occasion. This has happened a few times in the past 2 weeks and recently while my 18 yr old son (his car) was driving on the highway pulling off an exit going 45 MPH and thankfully was able to slow down and avoid other cars. Car has sat since waiting for a mechanic too look at it, will have to pay for it to be towed. Very dangerous and looks to be a common issue but for some reason, not part of recall for 2006 and 2008. Car has approx 107k miles on it. Gm should do the right thing by their customers if they want to keep them. Obviously a defect in steering whcih they have owned up to for other years..
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated while driving, the steering wheel felt extremely loose. The vehicle was taken to maita chevrolet (9650 auto center dr, elk grove, ca 95757 916‑512‑1567) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the power steering module, power steering motor and torque sensor needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure.

Our electric power assist system went out on our vehicle. I see that this part was recalled feb 2nd, 2015. We were on the highway when the steering wheel locked up on us. We had a children in the back seat and almost drove off the highway. It was very scary situation for all of us.
Electrical power steering does not work at times and code co545 present. Steering wheel shakes when turned slightly left. When turn off vehicle and restart electrical power steering will function as normal. Steering torque sensor problem but steering assembly will need replacement. This should be a dealer recall due to part defect as in 2006 model years.
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.
The power steering intermittently goes out before putting the car in motion with the steering wheel locking and the error light displays but after turning off the car and restarting the wheel would unlock. It has also lost power steering while driving at a speed of 45mph which made it extremely difficult to turn.
I was driving through my town and my seatbelt light came on and then the power steering was completely gone. I was the only one in my car. This has been happening for a couple weeks. My shoulder is hurting bad now from this. Very scary for this to happen.
Power steering in dic radio lit up no power steering at all. Power steering is electrical and goes off intermittently while driving recalls on this 2006-2007 g6 recall 14772 input my VIN # says my car not affected however, an major electrical power steering problem is detected in many 2007. Very serious costly problem. Will gm pay for repairs.

The vehicle is currently not safe to drive.

While driving on a street and also on the highway my power steering warning will appear on the info display and all my gauges such as gas and speed will fluctuate with the needle constantly going up and down. I can not tell how much gas I have or the speed I am going. The car then seems to become jerky in its movements so I pull over and turn it off and wait a few minutes, but then it continues to happen moments later. I see that there has been a recall for power steering however my VIN shows I have no outstanding recalls at this time.
Power steering notification comes on immediately when car is started. While stoped the steering wheel jerks from left to right. While driving the steering wheel continues to jerk from side to side, moving the front wheels with it causing the car to swerve left and right. Jerking from left to right becomes worse with speeds greater that 50 MPH
The power steering would randomly loose power while driving down the road causing it to be hard to steer. I almost rearended someone cause I couldn't steer the car to the left. The radio started to display " power steering " when it would lock up. Now it is doing it almost daily.
Was on the hwy and the power steering stops working !!! Works some times!! Transmission jerks when u put it in gear!!! Transmission locks up sometimes when u put it in park!!! Every recall that's for other 2007 pontiac g6 is effecting my car but says there's no recall!!!
Miles 99,543 when I came back out the store I turn my car on to experience my steering wheel was harder to turn then usual. I turn my car off and on and the problem was still there. I went to advance auto to get a bottle of fluid and find out my steering wheel is electric and the recall that was on it expired a few years ago ! My concern is what if I spend my money to get it fix and the problem occur again. Anothee issue is that my service air bag pops up across the radio sometimes

When steering wheel is started making a whining noise.. Checked power steering fluid, added power steering fluid & steering became stiff almost unturnable. About 40 miles later rechecked power steering fluid n it wasn't reading on the dipstick again. Then noticed something leaking under vehicle on the driver's side kinda close to wheel. Almost thinking the pump has a hole or something in it. I'm not for sure on that but will probably b bring it to a mechanic tomorrow to get it checked out.
My power steering keeps going out while I'm driving and it's affecting my wheels and steering. The car is in motion as this is going on.
