Consumer Description

I HAVE EXPERIENCE SOME ISSUES WITH POWER STEERING ON MY VEHICLE ON AND OFF, HERE IN THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS IT HAS WORSEN. IT IS A VERY SCARY SITUATION. THE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING WHILE I AM OPERATING THE VEHICLE CAUSING THE WHEEL TO BECOME VERY DIFFICULT TO OPERATE SPECIFICALLY AS I NEED TO MAKE A TURN. I USUALLY HAVE TO APPLY A GREAT DEAL OF FORCE JUST TO TURN. I FEEL LIKE MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY IS T RISK. HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH GM WHO HAS MADE CONTACT WITH A DEALER SO I CAN TAKE MY CAR IN TO BE DIAGNOSED. THEY HAVE STATED THAT MY VEHICLE HAS A COUPLE OF RECALLS BUT THE POWER STEERING ISSUE IS NOT ONE OF THEM. I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND MANY OTHER 2006 G6 OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ON DIFFERENT SITES. INTERESTING ENOUGH THERE IS A RECALL FOR POWER STEERING ASSIST LOST FOR PONTIAC G6 ALL OF 2005, "SOME 2006, 2008 AND 2009. DOESN'T MAKE SENSE THAT MY CAR IS NOT PART OF THAT RECALL CONSIDERING MY CAR IS EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM FOR WHICH THE RECALL IS FOR. IT SHOULD NOT TAKE FOR SOME ONE TO GET VERY HURT FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. AND FOR WHAT I HAVE RESEARCHED IT IS AFFORDABLE TO REPAIR IS IN FACT VERY EXPENSIVE OVER 1,000 DOLLARS. *TR
