I have owned my 2010 pontiac g6 for approximately 2 years. Numerous times while driving, the vehicle will lose power and the steering will lock up. After locking up, the service ESC, power steering, and traction control lights all illuminate. The steering will remain locked up until you shut the vehicle down and restart it. Sometimes it will take turning the vehicle on and off multiple times. I have had this happen in many times while driving; however more times than not it occurs in curves or while making a turn. After further review I see there has been recalls issued till similar models prior to 2010; however 2010 has been left out. This is a major safety concern and has almost caused numerous wrecks; because when this failure occurs, you lose power steering and traction control.

Brake caliper holding bolts come out. There will be a thumping noise when applying the brakes and you will find that one of the bolts is missing. This is the second time this issue has happened to me.
