Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving various speeds, the steering wheel moved and shook. Additionally, while starting the vehicle, the steering wheel seized and the power steering indicator illuminated. The contact called greenwood chevrolet inc (4695 mahoning ave, youngstown, oh 44515, (330) 792-5252) and was informed that the vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 15v0640000 (steering). The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 120,000.
Takata recall, I have a 2007 pontiac g6 base model. It has 110,756 miles and it breaking down badly. The gear shift, transmission and steering wheel control all started to mess up around the same time. My friends father had the same exact car a few years ago and said that they have a transmission problem and to call the dealership and/or the manufacturer to find a solution to my problem.
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?
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving approximately 55-60 MPH, the steering assist warning indicator illuminated and the steering seized. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that an alignment was needed. The alignment was performed, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 15v046000 (steering). The manufacturer and dealer were not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 87,000.
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 and notifications on dashboard. Gm states this 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 major safety concern as I can no longer rely on the vehicle to drive as expected without knowing when the power steering will be lost. Serious potential of crash as turning may not be available while in motion. It occurs for every power up of the vehicle. Please have gm investigate that more 2006-2007 pontiac g6 vehicles with that same torque sensor be impacted by recall 14722.
My 2007 pontiac g6 has had the power steering going out while driving. The warning light comes on. If I turn the car off, the power steering usually comes back on when I restart the car. The last 2 twos, it goes back off almost immediately and I have no power steering. It is very hard to control the turning of the car.
The last year my passenger airbag light and seatbelt like goes on and off when no one is sitting in that seat. My power steering light is going off now and power steering has gone out multiple times. At high speeds I feel loss of steering control and wobbly. At stand still and stop signs my steering wheel shakes. I do not feel safe at all driving due to a feeling of no control of the car.
Sudden loss of power steering making car very difficult to drive straight or turn on any kind of road.
Steering wheel begins to move on it's own when stationary and while driving. Check steering light comes on. Its electronic assist steering. At times responce is delayed a second or so.
While driving the power steering goes out and the warning message is displayed on the dash display. There is no warning before hand and it has happened 3x while driving. Once in a parking lot while going 15mph or less and then 2 other times while driving aprox 30mph and 40mph respectively.
When driving the vehicle, you will lose all power steering. When shutting the car off and restarting it, power steering returns. This has happened on multiple occasions regardless of speed or outside temp. Exact issue in other the federal safety agency recall but my VIN is not eligible
The electrical power steering on the pontiac g6 2007 locks up while driving. Driving on the highway or on neighborhood roads the power steering locked up and steering becomes difficult more effort put into turning the wheel a small direction. This issue also happens when car is in park and just starting, oftentimes restarting car can fix issue temporarily
When I turn my steering wheel several things happen, a click sound going clockwise, and I hear squeaky or whining sound when I turn either way. I hear a grinding sound coming from the front tires. My signal doesn't shut off after I complete a turn.
Power steering message pops up and it makes it very hard to turn. This may happen when you crank the vehicle or will happen while driving the vehicle. It makes it pull to the side. It is very dangerous. Also, my car has a problem with the gas(fuel pump) the fuel pump leaks fast onto the gas tank. That is a fire hazard. It is also horrible on my gas mileage. There needs to be a recall and if there is one already or needs to be expanded. I've had nothing but trouble out of this vehicle. And spent too much money on it. There something wrong with the electric box and it throws codes for multiple problems, and when those problems are fixed it doesn't help. It's costing people money for nothing.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving various speeds, the steering wheel vibrated, the steering wheel seized, and the power steering warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing or repairs. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 140,000.
My steering wheel suddenly gets hard to move. It happens when im on the freeway going 60+ MPH and my power steering pump just completely goves out. I can pull over and turn my car off and back on and it stops doing it til I get back up to the speed limit. I was told by a repair shop that my power steering was covered by a gm recall, and I cant get anyone to find the recall information. My concern is why is it just a few makes recalled if the entire year of that make and model are faulty.
For a while name the dash would read power steering but the wheel wouldn't be hard to turn but I would be in park and it would be turning by its self. I would cut the car off but it would be ok start it back up be problem other night it did it again while parked cit the car off started it back up started to head home and it did it again and I was on the highway and the wheel started turning and pulling on it's on almost wrecked. *dt
I was driving down the highway at about 70mph, all of a sudden the car beeped, but I didn't see any warning lights on the dashboard. Immediately I noticed that the steering wheel had locked and was extremely difficult to turn. I was able to tilt it just enough to change lanes, but I was afraid I would be unable to make any sharper turn than that. I exited the highway and as I suspected, it was extremely difficult to turn the wheel. If this had happened right before a steep curve in the road and I would not have had time to slow down and I would have run right off the road, unable to turn the wheel! I see that this has happened to other peoples' g6 just in the last few days. Please fix our power steering! Engine still turns on and off, nothing wrong with the way it drives, just the steering wheel is stuck.
My steering went out of know where I was in the middle of a turn no warning at all I was making a turn on the highway into the next lane and it just couldn't turn the wheel
Parent was driving down highway at 60 MPH when car beeped and radio screen read 'power steering'. Immediately the steering wheel became very difficult to move and turn, the issue is still present and has not gone away.
Power steering went out while driving 65 on a fairly straight 65 MPH hwy. The faulty part is the torque sensor assembly wich there is a recall on for 2007 vehicles manufactured up until june 2016 I believe. Gm recall # 14772....expansion of recall 14v‑153. Should recall include all 2007 pontiac g6 vehicles as this is extremely dangerous.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the electric power steering malfunctioned while driving. The contact had to rock or shake the steering wheel in order for the power steering to work. When the vehicle was stopped, the steering wheel shook vigorously. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The failure mileage was 165,000.
I believe the u-joint issue associated with 2007 pontiac g6 also affected my vehicle, although it is not showing up under the recalls for my particular VIN.
Airbag is not on will not turn on. The electronic motor like all the other recalls gm should be taking care of is going out and locking up steering. I would advise anyone to get an attorney and file against gm for not taking care of a dangerous problem
I recently purchased the car and in the middle of driving the power steering went out and it was hard to turn the wheel. I was on the highway when this occurred.
Electrical systems that control power steering weaken when switching gears. Power steering causes lights to dim in car and headlamps outside of car at night and during the day. Lighting fails on the front passenger side causing right turn signal to malfunction and entire assembly to appear dim and not at all when signal is activated. This occurs at all times of vehicle use: stationary, city driving, and highway driving.
Power stirring went out suddenly causing the car to shake and not respond properly to driver operation. Other males have had issue but 2007 g6 hard top convertible didn't make that list, even though many other owners have had this safety issue on same model and year.
I live in alaska and I've never gotten a notice and I've been in two collision because of it and I haven't known why. I've had to pay my deductible because of it and numerous damages because of it.
