Consumer Description

My 2009 Pontiac G6 power steering has been intermittently going out over the past 3 years between my self and my grandfather who bought the vehicle brand new before gifting it to me. It's done so while driving several times but not consistently. It can be reset by turning the car off and back on but that doesn't negate the danger it poses while driving and having sudden loss of the power steering. It's my understanding that several models both before my year model, during, and even after have been recalled for this issue but my car has not and I don't under why! My grandfather had it looked at and the mechanic couldn't find any issue at the time as the problem didn't occur while it was being looked at. I have had the car scanned for codes immediately after the incident occur and no codes are showing. I believe that this is a danger as there's no warning that it's about to go out and it's not always an option to immediately turn the vehicle off and back on to correct.
