2007 Pontiac G6: harsh or hard shifting

Filed Jun 8, 2018 · Steering · 116,600 miles · NC

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?

When driving my pontiac g6 there appears to be a slight clunk coming from the front steering system. On turns the same clunk happens and you can feel it ever so slightly on the steering wheel. The steering is very tight while driving but as soon as I'm stopped it loosens up noticeably. After doing some research about the car I've found that this model is a candidate for a recall involving the u-joints, which seems to be where the clunk is occurring from.

Since I bought this pontiac back in 2009, it had a loud clunking and steering sound in the front end which got worse over the years. I can feel the noise vibrate in the steering wheel and it doesn't feel safe. The gm dealer said, 'it's nothing to worry about.' I had them check it out and they claim it's fine. I did online research and apparently other gm pontiac owners are having the same complaint. This is unacceptable. Why won't gm fix this?

Again, I bought this car back in 2009 and the front end was making clunking sounds in the front end at slow speeds. Also, every slight bump in the road seems like I'm driving down a war zone. I understand these are low profile tires and the ride isn't like a cadillac, however, the front end on these cars are not well built. From the driver's seat, the sounds make me feel uneasy as if the tires are about to fall off from all the clunking, popping and other sounds! This is also true in many other gm models, as well. Is this a safety issue? Or nothing to worry about? When I trade this in, I won't be buying another gm product, that's for sure!

I have been having problems with clunking and rattling in the steering column for years, even shortly after I purchased my vehicle in 2007 the popping began,especially at low speeds.its to the point now that my car feels like its literally going to fall apart with all the rattling and vibrating. Gm suggested I rotate tires, resurface rotors, replace tie rods and stabilizer bar control link`. I have paid for all of this at my mechanic and the problem still persists. I have had 2 mechanics(non gm) insist that its the steering column shaft and there have been several complaints about this same exact issue but gm refuses to fix the root of the problem. I believe they lubed the shaft some years ago but that was just a band aid.I understand they were replacing the shafts years ago but stopped because of the high cost for gm. I know that this is and has been my issues over the years and it is only getting worse. They should have fixed it the correct way the first time instead of giving me the run around and having all these other things done to my vehicle when the main issue is the steering column shaft. I have had enough spending money on my vehicle when pontiac should be held responsible for replacing and or repairing my shaft. Im scared to drive my vehicle at time because im afraid its going to fall apart. Something has got to be done finally this this gone on far too long.

The steering makes a clunkin noise. It turns back and fourth by itself when driving and while parked.some times when I start the car the radio says power steering when I start the car.when these problems happen I turn the car off open door so the radio goes off than start it and than it works fine until it sits turned off for a little while.sometimes I'll have to turn car off and on about five times before it works.I have read that pontiac g6 s from 2006 through 2007 have a steering recall for the steering torque sensor but I gave gm my VIN and they said my car doesn't have that recall.so I took my car to the dealership to have the other recalls taken care of and to check my steering and they said it is the torque sensor.why is it the same sensor as the other g6s with the same problems they have recalls and mine is not under recall.it cost me 600$.I must pay because it's very dangerous to drive.

My pontiac g6 has had a terrible "clunking" sound when turning. It has been going on for quite awhile. When I have had it serviced, I have been told that it is in the steering column. They said it shouldn't be a safety feature just a terrible annoying noise. Is there any chance there could be a recall on this so this can get fixed at no charged? It is past it's warranty now.

Two hours after driving it off the dealership lot, it started clunking /snapping in the front end when I turn, go over a slight bump, brake and accelerate. No doubt there needs to be a recall and soon!

1-cruise control comes back on after disengaging, loud clunk when turning, have fixed ball joints and front end stuff several times and it still clunks at low speeds ever since I've owned the vehicle. Have had issues with the brake system as well.
