I was driving my pontiac g6 through my neighborhood around 30-35 MPH coming down a hill the steering wheel started to shake rapidly where I completely lost control of the vehicle then it pulls to the right and hits a park van. The air bags deployed, and I get sent to the hospital. I'm not sure what the reasoning of the crash but something along the lines of the steering wheel and steering components.
2007 Pontiac G6 steering complaints
Page 6 of 19: complaints 131 to 160 of 541, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The power steering on my vehicle continued to fail at any time while driving, causing all loss of power steering until the car was restarted. This recall is listed on the federal safety agency website. When I returned this to the dealership they told me that since this recall was released in february 2016, which wasn't even true based off the website, that they would not cover the cost, and the repairs would be over 1000 dollars, and additional 200 dollars for the technician checking my vehicle.
My car which was previously owned by my parents was taken in for a recall of the shift cable. Since the repair of the shift cable it has broken two more times. Once while in motion to park in a driveway where my husband almost drove into the garage, the other time it broke about a year and a half later while I was parking it in a parking lot the car lunged forward almost hitting the car in front. The car never had any problems with this part until it was supposedly corrected by the dealer. Im afraid its going to break while I am driving on the highway and I wont be able to stop or control the car. When the shift cable broke I could put the car in any position the shifter just kept going up and down if I didn't have the emergency break on I would have crashed into the car in front. If my husband didn't have the car with the emergency break he would have crashed into the garage.I have a phot of the broken part and notified general motors twice since they repaired the part prior to it breaking.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving 60 MPH, the steering wheel shook and became difficult to maneuver. The contact stated that the steering wheel seized. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the power steering pump was replaced. The contact also stated that the mechanic checked the wiring and the fuses; however, when the mechanic test drove the vehicle, the steering wheel seized again. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The contact stated that the independent mechanic could not replicate the failure and stated that the failure was a factory defect. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and was advised to contact the federal safety agency. The approximate failure mileage was 140,000.
I started my car on a cool morning (60+ degrees) from parking overnight and proceeded to the highway. I has to make a right turn onto the highway and steered right without actually proceeding, waiting for a vehicle to pass. The moment I started to proceed, my steering locked and a sign came up indicating power steering. I had to use all my power to align the vehicle, with more vehicles piling up behind me. I was supposed to make a sharp left turn at the light but proceeded to go straight when the light turned green until a got to a store parking lot that did not require a sharp turn to get my car into. I eventually parked and called for help. But then when I decided to turn the car back on, it was normal. That is when I checked and found out there were recalls for years prior to and after my model year.
The steering in my car started tossing me from side to side. I fortunately was able to get it to a shop 1 mile away only to find out the sensor kit and module kit (steering assist) needed to be replaced. Pontiac had a recall on this make and model but my VIN number was not one of them. Upon further investigation there has been 404 complaints for this exact reason. This could end up costing someone their life. When speaking with pontiac he stated my car was not a problem??? I was on the phone with him for an hour trying to stress the seriousness of this issue and he just continued to argue. My car only has 96000 miles on it, he also stated had I a VIN number that fell into their "magical" numbers and the deadline for the correction would have been may 31 but the issue happened june 1st they would not have fixed it. Pontiac knows this is a serious issue, they choose to "pick and choose" which vehicle they will fix. I also tried to explain to him I know how a manufacturer works so their "reasons and explanation" was not correct. I stated to him: they know there is a problem or there would not have been any kind of a recall. I also ask him "what if someone gets seriously injured?" he stated "they should have taken care of their vehicle" nice comment for a big manufacturer to make to someone who is letting them know this is a major problem. Everyone needs to put in these complaints to stop the big manufacturers from doing this.
The vehicle loses power steering assist at speeds below 20mph within 200 miles after being repaired. Once lost, power steering assist remains off and it takes brute strength to steer making it totally unsafe. Also, there are no warning indicators or check engine lights on the dashboard when this problem occurs. The dealership can't seem to fix it, so it seems a part in the power steering may be defective.
Clunk/knock from front of vehicle while driving and making a turn. Steering is now also becoming tight when making turns.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While operating the vehicle, the power steering failed and the contact lost control of the vehicle. The contact was able to regain control before the vehicle went over a bridge. The power steering warning indicator illuminated. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 171,488. *bf
2 issues 1st is plastic timing chain guide breaks and can cause extreme damage to car found pieces in oil pan and in timing 2nd issue is steering locks up all of a sudden now usually when turning it feels like its jerking to the other side or something it feels like power steering is gone heard a bunch of complaints bit no recall for my VIN cant imagine gm ripping people off........
Transmission floor shift cable malfunctioned when I was driving and something broke,I think it could have been a shift cable. Also my brake lights keep coming on evn when I don't apply the brakes the brake lights stay on. And also my steering is hard to steer occasionally, which makes it dangerous when using on windy roads. Both in the city and mountainmountain highways. I had recently found out about the recalls when I was troubleshooting why my tranny cable broke the other day. The transmision failed just recently, the other symptoms started happening about 0 to 40 day ago.
Ater I start my vechicle and fasten my seat belt. Th the airbag notice comes on even if I am the only passenger. I also a kind of stiffness in the steering wheel. The power steering fluid is fine.
Tl* the contact's girlfriend owns a 2007 pontiac g6. On several occasions, while driving, the contact heard a loud clunking noise underneath the steering wheel. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact called jackson chevrolet (located at 660 s main st, middleton, ct 06457, (860) 316-4063) who stated that the failure sounded like the steering shaft. The contact referenced the federal safety agency campaign number: 14e044000 (steering). The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 155,000.
1) power steering unit seems to be going in out while driving. After it acts up there is a lot of plat in the steering until the car is shut off. There has been a recall on same year model of g6's for same issue. Started last summer then stopped over the winter, then started again this spring. 2) passenger airbag sensor doesn't work all of the time, or will shut off while someone is sitting in the seat. Know recall on other models of same year like above. Has done this since we bought it from the dealer. They told us it would cost us $$$$ to fix it.
My wife was pulling out of the driveway and heard a loud clunk and my power steering light came on and I lost all power steering I had a hard time steering the car to get it back in the driveway I believe it may be related to gm recall 14772 sudden loss of electric power steering but have not gotten a recall letter
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While operating the vehicle, the steering wheel suddenly began to shake. Eventually, the power steering malfunctioned and the steering wheel became very difficult to turn in either direction. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the rubber power steering hose melted from the hot exhaust and power steering fluid leaked out. The vehicle was repaired. The local dealer was not notified of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The VIN was invalid. The failure mileage was 82,000.
I have a 2007 pontiac g6 when I heard abut the recall I typed my VIN# into this wesite and it showed my car wasnt under this recall , however my power steering is doing the same thing that is listed under the recall. When starting the car the steering is very loose then out of no where while driving it tightens up and barely allows u to make turns. This has happend while driving on the freeway as well as well as city streets. Im not sure why 2006-2009 models are under recall for this particular but apparently whlie researching this problem the 2007 model is not included. This is very dangerous I took to a a gm certified dealership and was told I can $850 to have fixed .. Clearly I dont have that type of money and why should I have to pay when its having the same issues for why the g6 has been recalled for further more why my main question is why the 2007 model is not included when clearly alot of other people are having this same issue.. No one has contacted me about a resolution which is very fustrating to say the least. This has been goin on for over a year now.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that the steering wheel was loose upon turning in either direction, and an abnormal noise was heard. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but the failure could not be duplicated or diagnosed. The vehicle was also inspected by an independent mechanic. The VIN was not included in the federal safety agency campaign numbers: 15v064000 (steering) and 14e044000 (steering). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available.
My 2007 pontiac g6 will at random times lose the power steering in the middle of driving. It is very difficult to get pulled off of the road without power steering. There has been a recall on 2007 g6's but I was told by pontiac that my car is not one of the cars recalled. I explained that my car is doing exactly what the recall states happens but they still said my car is not covered under the recall. It'a risky to drive the car when it randomly does this. This has happened on highways going 70 MPH as well as on city streets. My only option according to pontiac is to pay to fix it myself.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While driving 55 MPH, the steering wheel seized and the power steering warning indicator illuminated. The contact was able to drive the vehicle home. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that the VIN was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 15v064000 (steering). The failure mileage was 187,000.
The power steering will turn off randomly while driving. Restarting the car reactivated the power steering, then randomly will shut off again while driving. Happens at any speed and whether turning or going straight.
We have a 2007 pontiac g6, the base 4 door model. The electric power steering stopped working suddenly exactly as described in the federal safety agency campaign number: 15v064000 the belt is still there and after a couple of hours the sensor started working again, but who knows when it swill cut out again. There is a recall for this for 2007 pontiac g6 but our particular VIN is not listed. There are hundreds of complaints on this issue but for some reason the federal safety agency has not expanded this recall to all 2007 g6 and the manufacturer can care less. My question is at what point does the federal safety agency force a manufacturer to recall something this obvious? Does someone have to die and their family be on 20/20 before the federal safety agency moves their bureaucratic asses? From all the complaints its obvious all 2007 g6 have this potential issue. For the love of god, someone there please contact the manufactures on this issue and have them expand this recall!!!!!!

Power steering has failed twice in 24 months while being driven. First on 02/24/2015 and again on 02/14/2017. They replaced a sensor kit in 2015 at a cost of $586 and now the whole steering column has failed,
Car suffered a sudden loss of power steering while driving on a highway making it very difficult to maneuver or turn the car. Car has eps. The power steering functionality has not returned.
Power steering not working, brakes sometimes goes too low to the floor & pedel sensor has gone off making car accelerate at times.
As I am driving down the road my power steering locks up and I am hardly able to turn the steering wheel!! Dangerous called gm said my car isn't in the recall as some of the others! Well when I die or some one else does gm will se my face in court! $900 to fix the problem don't have it! We own a auto repair shop cant fix it need to have it programmed! This has started earlier but then went away so I canceled my appointment at dealer now the wont fix it . Well since I own a auto shop I know bringing my car in when the problem isn't present does no good. How you going to find a problem when it is intermittent. I sometimes need to pull over shut my car off and restart it and it usually takes care of it for a few days. Happens more and more the longer and more miles I put on the car!
The power steering light keeps coming on in my 2007 pontiac g6 after a minute of being on the road in motion making the steering almost impossible. It's happened on both the highway and city streets regardless of the speed. It caused me to almost have two accidents already! But there is no where to add the steering fluid. I took it to multiple mechanics and they told me there is no reservoir for power steering fluid in the car & that its a steering column issue that's over $1000 to repair. The dealers say it's a manufacturer problem. They told me to contact gm dealer to check for a recall. I call various gm dealers and they told me there is no recall for that. This is rediculous. It is not safe for me to drive this car the way it is & it is their fault that this is happening! I've always preferred to buy american cars but this is what you get from the american companies!! I can no longer drive my car because it's not safe. This is the only car I have making it difficult for me to get to work.
