I was making a left turn in the intersection and my steering went out. The display started showing the power steering message. It became increasing difficult to steer. It appears gm recalled some make/models for the same vehicle I have however my VIN is not one of the one's that fall under the recall even though this seems to be the same problem. If gm knows this is a problem why aren't all of the make/models included in the recall. I had my son in the car and I became very fearful for the both of us.

Took my car to yates in goodyear az for recall repairs. When picked up my car my steering wheel was so loose and I they said its unsafe to drive. Insisted it was like that already not only was my steering messed up my brake lights would not go off. Also my check engine light came on and car will not go into gear. The service men there were laughing at my frustration for have no money to fix all the problems they created.
I was braking on the highway at 60 MPH and all of a sudden my power steering failed. Luckily no crash occurred. Tried contacting gm and they said because my VIN was not on the recall notice they couldn't do anything to resolve this issue. Gm needs to look into this matter and see if anyone else from this factory has dealt with similar issues and issue a recall for more vehicles.
After getting the recall part replaced (steering shaft torque sensor) I started having issues with the power steering, my light came on in the radio dash and the steering wheel pulled to right. I took the car back to the dealership and they are now telling me I need my power steering module replaced which is not covered under the recall and I will have to pay 500+ to replace it. I feel gm should be responsible for this part as it all has to do with the steering asist, which they know has problems. I called around to auto stores and you can not buy the part and do it yourself - you have to have the dealership fix it. Gm should put this part on the recall because it obviously is doing the same thing they recalled the torque sensor on. Please help!!!
I own a 4 door sedan g6 with power door locks - the left rear power door lock has quit causing me to have to reach across the seat to lock / unlock the door = not ideal in case of an accident. My intermediate steering shaft is clicking and grinding inside the column and the headlight wiring harness continues to melt causing the headlight to go dim = all of these safety and fire hazards need recall.

At times im not able to go over 15 MPH, or the engine will send a read out on the radio that states " engine reducing power", then the traction will state (on the radio) that the traction has turned off and the light comes on, also the powersteering notification appears on the radio and the car is not abel to be steered. The engine will no allow me to give the car gas to accelerate, and the engine will jerk, the rpms will go up and down by itself I called the pontiac number for help they told me that there was not a recal open for my car and they they were not abel to do anything for me very rudely.
The service electronic speed control (ESC) and traction control light illuminates frequently. At low speed something happens that causes steering to be difficult. We have had the vehicle in for a recent recall that was suppose to fix this problem. The problem persists. The dealer wants approximately $350 to replace the electronic steering control modular. My research indicates that this item is a recall item but the dealer disagrees.
Experienced loss of power steering in middle of turn on highway ramp almost driving into oncoming traffic. Managed to drive home with no power steering. Upon restarting car in driveway power steering came back. Drove car sparingly for 2 weeks until lost power steering second time turning out of parking lot until pulling over and restarting car.
