I have an issue with my power steering and eps turning off after my car has been cranked a minimum of 2 min maybe not even that long. My steering wheel also rotates (like shaking) without the car moving and if the car is being driven it poses a huge risk to crashing as the jerking causes the car to swerve. I took it to the dealership to have the recall issues replace seeing that the issues I am having are the exact same as the recall released on the pontiac g6 with recall # 14v153000 and also recall# 14e044000. The dealership insisted I was wrong after the service agent I spoke to that scheduled the appointment said all the part were there to fix my car and they seen the recalls. I need assistance as to what I can do to get this taken care of seeing as I am still paying on this car and I havent even had it two months yet
The power steering angle sensor malfunctioned/stopped working properly at approx. 197,000 miles. The part was taken out and replaced by a local GM dealership. With the sensor malfunctioning, we experienced intermittent loss of power steering as well as shaking in the steering column which made it suddenly VERY difficult to steer. We lost power steering mid-drive many times and could have been killed because of this issue. The vehicle would be functioning completely normally and all of a sudden lose power steering mid-turn or while backing up and become nearly impossible to control. The problem was corrected out of pocket from us by a GM dealership service center. Unknown if it has been inspected. The dash light "ESC" would come on AS the power steering disengaged, but not until then. The dash display would also show "power steering" after we lost the power steering, but not before as a warning or anything.
The electric steering assist went out while driving, making it very hard to steer. I am in the process of getting this replaced. I will try to have the mechanic give me the old part so it is available. It was very hard to steer and stay in my lane. Could have easily gotten into an accident. No dealer, or independent service center has verified it yet. Trying to get it scheduled now. Nothing inspected yet. No warnings. The "Power Steering" light came on when it failed.
