Transmission , when shifting into park it will sometimes not go into park and the car will roll backwards or clanking noise happens. Also when u take the car out of park it will not go into reverse!! Steering, when making turns there something going on it wants to drift and makes a noise! Airbag sensor comes on and goes off by itself even with a passenger in the seat says airbag system not working these are all recalls but says my VIN# isnt part of the recall! But vehicle doing everything thats it says in the recall
There is a bumping or clunking noise when the steering wheel is turned slightly at low speed or while still, as if there is a linkage problem. Apparently, this is a common issue for this car, as gm has issued tsb #06-02-32-007f. However, since this is a steering issue, shouldn't there be a recall to correct or repair?
Power steering faulted out in my car with no warning. Car was parked thank god car started gave power steering fault steering wheel would not move and car would not either. Taken to shop when kicked back in after restarting car 9 times. Parked at dealership then did not move since had to be towed to another dealership to have diagnostics done. Steering wheel shook really bad while driving and sitting still until it stopped working all together at the dealership. If this would have happened while driving it could have been really bad. This happened with no warning at all went to start my vehicle and just happened. Vehicle has been fixed I am looking for reimbursement due to recall infomation assocciated with this issue.
Power steering issues, check engine light are still coming on after my mechanic worked on it. Now it's saying to check my gas cap as well... I pull over to check it by opening and closing it again and it's fine for about .25-.50 of a mile.
Power steering issues and it states it on my radio screen the moment I put it in reverse. Also my check engine light keeps coming on, while on I have issues rolling up/down my power windows.

My steering shakes uncontrollably while driving and non-driving it stiffens up where I can't turn left or right. When I start the car it stiffens as well. I took it to a certified mechanic they say that its a recall on it. What's my next step because the mechanic says he can't fix it. I need and would like for my car to be fix.
While driving my car on the freeway, the instrument panel lit up and a beep twice indicated an issue with power steering and the car no longer maintains power steering. There is a recall for this issue 14772 for the make and model of my car but my car was not included in the recall. This is a major issue that should cover all models affected it's difficult to steer without the power steering. I've already had my car towed twice to a dealer that cannot find a problem and I've spent over $200.00 to have my battery cables cleaned which is what I was told was the problem.
Driving on freeway and power steering sign flashed without warning on screen and then steering wheel locked going 65 MPH. Causing me to almost crash and now power steering does not work. Now power steering does not work. I'm seeing in 2014 there were many recalls on this vechicle and for some odd reason, my VIN was not included this is a common problem for this car and should not be responsible. Ive called gm and they will not help me.
My 07 g6 v6 seems to lose power steering intermittently. There is no way to know when it will happen.

Called gm because I seen where the federal safety agency had a recall on all 2007 pontiac g6 for steering:electric power assist system recall# 15v064000 with recall date: 2/4/2015 but when I called gm they said they dont see a recall for my car even though I am having this same issue and the federal safety agency has recalled this problem for vehicles like mine. Was very unhappy with the way gm treated me about this matter. Also want to know why gm has so much information about the steering recall and when I call dealer to have it fixed they dont see the recall on my car

The power steering will go out, going down the road or just sitting still. The steering wheel will shake like crazy. It will stay out until you get pulled off or stop turn the car off and then restart the car. These vehicles have electric power steering there isn't any place to add power steering. It's a fault. I have owned 2 g6 and they have both had an issue, I had an '09 and now have a '07 both with the same power steering issue. It's a major safety hazard, to yourself and fellow drivers.

Electrical assist power steering quits working while driving resulting in loss of steering. Has almost caused me to wreck multiple times. Gm says there is nothing they can do. Issue happens while driving and while sitting still. Happens while going straight and also while turning on any type of road.
I have an 07 pontiac g6 with 137000 miles, with little warning my power steering light came on and I had no power steering. I was on the interstate traveling 70mph. I was able to get off on the next exit and turn my car off/on and it was fine. Well it happened again abt 30 minutes later. After doing research it said that some recalls have been made due to this issue but using my VIN number my car is not elligable. I'm at a loss, what do I do now?

My power steering is going out. It works but goes out after driving for a little bit. Or doesn't work when the car is started. Restarting the car is a temporary fix. The wheel also jerks back and forth when still. I see this is recalled for a 07 pontiac g6 but not for my VIN.
The steering on the g6 is hard and often incapacitated. Make loud noises and even though the power steering fluid has been flushed, replaced, and refilled it is still happening. My teenage daughters drive this car and it is unsafe. This needs to be addressed immediately via a recall notice!
Safety issue. Steering extremely incapacitated and leaking fluid. Happened after being stationary overnight. Front wheels were turned slightly while parked overnight.
February 2017 I was driving and my steering wheel locked up on me. I turned the ignition off & then turned the car back on & it never happened again until 11/13/17. I was driving & my steering wheel locked up. I almost caused an accident. I called greenwood chevrolet hubbard to inquire about any recalls & I was told there were no recalls at this time & the recalls that were issued I was serviced for. 11/13/17 was not the first time that I called to inquire about recalls for my car. I call often when I see other gm cars have recalls. I called gm to inquire about a recall & I was given the same information that greenwood gave. I took my car to firestone complete auto care on 11/15/17 & they made me aware of recall # 15356. They found the recall information when they ran the diagnostic test. They suggested that I take my car to the dealership & let the recall fix the issue. When I call the dealership and gm I was told that the recall expired on march 12, 2017. I never received and type of correspondence about the recall. What if I get in a car accident and harm someone else or myself. I feel that gm should have to pay to fix a faulty part that they installed into their product. I also keep getting a check air bag signal on my car every so often. I'm almost scared to drive my car. I also called the dealership that I purchased the car from and they stated that I would've had to call if I was having the problem then they would've honored the recall. I asked the dealership how can I call about a problem if it's not happening at the present time and why wasn't I notified about the recall. The dealership is diane sauer chevrolet phone: [xxx]. I don't know if my air bag is takata; however, something is wrong for the signal to keep flashing that it needs to be checked. My phone number is [xxx] and my name is [xxx].
