The power steering warning started coming across my radio with an alarm and the power steering would shut off. You could turn the car off and restart it and it would work again. It started doing it more and more until it wouldn't work at all. I looked up recalls and mine had one soni took it to pontiac dealer and they replaced the eps module.bbut that's all my contacts number call for but they are many other models like mine that the ecalk called for each part of the entire power steering system to be replaced one at a time until the problem was fixed but my VIN was not on what list it was only lister under re place the module so therefore im still having power steering problem bc the module didn't fix the problem.

I purchase my car december,2015 or maybe in the beginning of january, 2016. I had an extremely bad gas leak , I'll say 2 month after my brakes start messing up. Got them fixed & 3 months later I was back doing the same thing. Around august, 2016 my power steering wheel went out. Got that fixed, 3 weeks later my power steer did the same thing, again ! Plus my pan had begin leaking.
During routine oil change visit after long trip, was notified of extensive wear & damage to 3 of 4 tires. One had strip of rubber wrap around the axel, bust the boot & brakes & bent the axel. Another had @ 5x4 inch piece of rubber missing, steel belts were shining. Third tire had areas of separation all around the tire, more steel belts visible. Luckily they held pressure & didn't blow out. Have always kept them rotated & balanced. It'd been 6 months since they'd been rotated/balanced -- and only 6000 miles. One service guy mentioned "outer edge wear" on them, but the service manager, after looking at the remaining warranty/miles left, said that the tires were supposed to wear like they were. The tires were 4 yrs old & had @ 60,000mi. On them.
Was going 5 MPH becuase of weather, hit ice, ended up doing approximately 25-30 MPH in a slide. Threw me in a ditch front first. Did 5671.65 in damages on the front end alone. 63 parts replaced. Airbags and onstar did not activate. If my husband and I were not wearing our seat belts we woulsve been thrown out the windshield. Whole entire front end was in the ditch and back passenger tire was in mid air. When my husband went to get out of vehiicle he fell out of the car and landed under the car. There are pictures taken by the state highway patrol as well as myself. Husband and I were sore from the accident but did not go to the emergency room.
I have been reading about other peoples problems with the g6 and I am having the same with my 2008 pontiac g6/gt. I have a 2008 pontiac g6 and I am having problems with: tie rods, wheel hubs, control arms, and lastly my car light in the front keeps going out, not the high beams but the low beams. Every time I replace the bulb it goes out in a matter of weeks.
