2008 PONTIAC G6 Steering Problems

The contact owns a 2008 Pontiac G6. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle lost power steering assist functionality. The contact stated that the check engine warning light illuminated, and the “Power Steering Fault” message was displayed. The contact pulled over, turned off, and restarted the vehicle, and the power steering functionality returned. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic to be diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V153000 (Steering); however, the vehicle was previously repaired under the recall in 2014, and the replacement part had started to fail. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 95,000.

Car shuts off & other lights light up on dash. Not driving over 20mph.

No warning lights came on, steering kepted locking up shutting off the vehicle

GM claims to have already completed a safety recall for Power steering, but I didn't see any issues with the power steering prior to them doing this service except for the "Power steering" message on the display. The only reason I brought in at that time (5/18/2023) was to replace the gauge cluster which they also had to replace a second time due to faulty replacement. And now the new issue with power steering still continues to persist (steering wheel locks up while driving). Also the "Power steering" error message was never cleared after the initial service. I have a carfax report showing the power steering being serviced by 2 other GM dealerships after the initial service. This is an electric power steering system so there's no fluid that can leak and should not need serviced multiple times in the same year. They now refuse to fix the issue saying...

Power steering motor went I have no power steering

The dashboard showed an error message regarding the power steering. I took it to my mechanic and they put it on the computer to scan. It came back with 2 error codes. The first one was DTC C0569 46. The second one was DTC C0460 00/4B. I was told the dealership would have to address the issue. They told me these codes were not covered by the recalled part they replaced. The car has approximately 81,500 miles. There doesn't appear to be a leak. At this time the steering is working. There is no stiffness or squealing. This first popped up on the screen about a month ago. I've been concerned about driving it until I know more.

Power steering stopped working

Power steering popped up on radio whenever I turn it to the left or right while driving.

The contact owns a 2008 Pontiac G6. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the power steering warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the steering wheel then independently turned. The contact stated that the steering wheel had previously became inoperable and seized. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the torque sensor unit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.

Vehicle has a sudden loss of power steering exactly described in recall reference number 14V153000 yet this vehicle is not covered by this recall. The EPS motor controller unit has failed. Two independent service centers have confirmed this. It's concerning that if this vehicle was manufactured 6 months previously it would be covered for the same exact issue. no warning lamps came on until after the vehicle had a loss of power steering. it displayed service power steering in the message center after the failure. The failed unit is being replaced by a independent service center and will be available for inspection.

Power steering is disabled while driving sometimes. In the past few weeks, right after starting the car, "POWER STEERING" will appear on the drivers information center, and the steering wheel will not turn unless using much more than normal force. Turning off and restarting the car eventually returns steering wheel to normal operation. Within the past few days the power steering has been disable while actively driving. Vehicle will start with no issues relating to power steering, but after a random time period while driving the "POWER STEERING" warning is displayed again. This has caused an immediate and unexpected return to fully manual steering while driving; much more force is needed to turn the steering wheel. This could be dangerous if in the middle of a turn power steering is disabled. Vehicle has not been inspected, yet.

Power steering went out mid-drive last week after the vehicle was purchased Used from Groove Subaru of Littleton, Colorado. The power steering went out again this morning while driver attempted to leave driveway. During both instances, driver turned the vehicle off then back on to get power steering again. The driver is elderly. The driver struggled to pull the vehicle over out of traffic when this happened the first time. All safety recalls have reportedly already been taken care of

Power Steering goes out without warning. I was driving my vehicle and the power steering stopped working, making it extremely difficult to maneuver my vehicle around the many curves on the road I live on at the regulated 30mph speed limit. I parked my vehicle and started it an hour later and the power steering was now working. I have not driven the vehicle for 4 days due to the loss of power steering at any given moment.

When making turns the electronic power steering go out causing dangerous situations.

On 08/05/2020, my car was serviced by our local GM dealership to have 3 open recalls fixed. They replaced my steering torque sensor and power steering assist motor due to the power steering going out at random. As of April 2022, I am once again having power steering issues. The steering wheel shakes back and forth, and occasionally will throw an error code and stop working. This requires me to pull over, shut the car off, and restart the car several times while manually moving the steering wheel to get it to work without throwing an error code. I used my own scan tool to diagnose the problem, and I'm getting a code "C0545-00 Steering Wheel Torque Input Sensor". This would be the same sensor that was supposedly replaced less than two years ago. I contacted the dealership, and they stated that they do not guarantee recall work, and that...

The contact owns a 2008 Pontiac G6. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the power steering warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact stated that excessive force was needed to steer the vehicle while driving. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle with an electrical power steering assist failure. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and informed her that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V153000 (Steering). The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 173,000.

While in operation power assist stops working requires heavy input from driver to steer. Power assist works again on restart but issue reoccurring randomly. Their is a recall on this model for the same issue but being told my vehicle is not covered under that recall. Recall #14V153000 issued on 3/31/14.

About two weeks ago, my steering wheel locked up while driving on the expressway. Luckily I was in the far right lane and was able to pull over without causing a car accident. Once pulled over, I shut off the vehicle and called my mom. While on the phone, she told me to try to start it up again. This time, the steering wheel turned with no problem. Hastily, I drove home. I have made arrangements to take it to the nearest auto shop working on power steering problems.

The contact owns a 2008 Pontiac G6. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the vehicle lost steering functionality. The contact stated that as his daughter turned off and restarted the vehicle several times and the steering wheel functionality returned; however, the steering was shaking.

Power steering has been going out all of a sudden. The steering wheel locks up and is difficult to turn. My safety and the safety of others around me was put at risk because I cannot easily turn the wheel and respond to a situation quickly if I needed to. I basically have to drive in a straight line and not turn. Turning the car on and off seems to help for a little while but the problem still continues. I have not taken the car to be looked at by anyone.The words "power steering" flashed across the radio. This first started to happen when the wheel started to lock up a few days ago. The vehicle has a separate issue were the seat belt monitor does not work for the drivers side. It dings even if I am buckled up.

THE STEERING IS VERY BAD AFTER SERVICING THE VEHICLE AND SEVERAL ALIGNMENTS WHICH IS A RECALL ON THE KELLEY BLUE BOOK PAGE ALSO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING. WINDOWS WONT GO UP OR DOWN DOOR LOCKS UNLOCK AND LOCK AUTOMATICALLY, LIGHTS GO OFF AND ON HEADLIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS AND GM SAID THAT YOUR RECALLS ARE INCORRECT!!!! I KNOW THAT THESE RECALLS ARE INDEED NEEDED SEVERELY. PLEASE HELP!

WITHOUT WARNING POWER STEERING GOES OUT. I WAS ONLY BACKING UP DOWN THE DRIVEWAY. VERY DIFFUCULT TO STEER VEHICLE MANUALLY. POWER ASSIST STEERING MODULE, WAS ALREADY REPLACE +/- 5 YEARS AGO. BUT WHEN I RESTART VEHICLE ACTS NORMAL, BUT THEN JUST FAILS WITHOUT WARNING. HESITANT TO DRIVE CAR NOW, DUE TO UNPREDICTABILTY OF STEERING. NO WAY, I WOULD LET ONE ON MY KIDS DRIVE THIS VEHICLE.

WAS DRIVING TO TOWN, AND WHILE GOING DOWN A HILL, AND WHILE ON A CURVED SECTION OF ROAD, CHIME CAME ON, POWER STEERING WARNING APPEARED ON RADIO SCREEN, CAR BEGAN GOING STRAIGHT INSTEAD OF FOLLOWING THE CURVE. I FORCED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT AND REGAINED CONTROL OF THE CAR. TURNED CAR AROUND AND DROVE BACK HOME. CAR WAS DIFFICULT TO STEER. STEERING WORKS NOW, BUT FAILED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE MOVING THE CAR IN OUR DRIVEWAY, THIS PAST WINTER. I KNOW MANY FOLKS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH ELECTRIC ASSIST POWER STEERING, BUT THEY DON'T REPORT IT.

THE FAILURE WAS MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

POWER STEERING DISENGAGES ONCE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. ONLY WAY TO REENGAGE IT IS TO TURN CAR COMPLETELY OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON. SOMETIMES IT REENGAGES BUT OCCASIONALLY IT STILL REMAINS AN ISSUE. IF I ALSO LIGHTLY PULL ON THE WHEEL, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL VIBRATE AND SHAKE WHILE STOPPED AND DRIVING. MY POSITION SWITCH ON THE TRANSMISSION ALSO CAUSES THE ENGINE TO NOT START EVERY SO OFTEN AS WELL. I HAVE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL SOMETIMES TO RESTART MY CAR.

THE STEERING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT HAS FAILED WITH LESS THAN 80,000 MILES ON THE CAR. IT STARTED OUT AS A 'CLUNK' WHEN ACCELERATING THAT CAN BE FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL, AND EVENTUALLY GOT TO THE POINT WHERE THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD BIND UP WHEN TURNING, WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

IT IS MY ONLY VEHICLE FOR MY SON AND I TO GET TO WORK IN. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AS WELL. I HAVE HAD MANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE, REPLACING HEADLIGHT AFTER HEADLIGHT, STARTER, ETC. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRONIC STEERING ASSIST OR TORQUE ASSEMBLY AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THE ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. A RECALL TO FIX THESE ISSUES NEEDS TO BE IN PLACE!

THE STEERING IN MY PONTIAC HAS COMPLETELY GONE OUT. I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY STREET AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND THE POWER STEERING ALERT CAME UP ON THE RADIO. AND I'VE BEEN READING AND I'VE READ ARTICLES WHERE PONTIACS POWER STEERING HAS BEEN RECALLED.

WHEN I AM DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY MY POWER STEERING GOES OUT TO WHERE I CAN'T STEER THE CAR AND THAN I TURN THE CAR OFF LEFT IT RESET TURN IT BACK ON AND IT'S FINE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME AND DOES IT AGAIN. I HAVE KIDS AND I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY KIDS AND MYSELF.

SENSOR IN STEERING COLUMN MALFUNCTIONS AND POWER STEERING GOES OUT. GM ADMITS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE /MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND FIXED IT FOR SEVERAL YEARS AT NO COST. NOW THEY EXPECT CONSUMERS TO BEAR THE COST, ABOUT $1000. I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR USED AND AM EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS POWER STEERING JUST QUITS WITH NO WARNING.

MY DAUGHTERS 2008 PONTIAC G6 HAD INTERMITTENT POWER STEERING ISSUES MAKING THE CAR VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I CHECKED FOR A RECALL AND THE DEALER (MATTHEWS AUTO, VESTAL, NY) WAS NOT VERY OPENED ABOUT THE DETAILS THEY TRIED TO SAY THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE WHEN I HAD TO ASK ABOUT THE ONE POSTED ON YOUR SITE. NOT UNTIL THEN DID HE TELL ME THAT THE TORQUE SENSOR WAS REPLACED IN 2014 AND THEY WERE THE ONES WHO SERVICED IT. THE POWER STEERING HAS SINCE FAILED ALL TOGETHER AND I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE A GM DEALER FIX THIS PROBLEM $700-$1000. I'VE ALSO READ THAT OTHERS HAD THEIR RECALL SERVICED ONLY TO SAY THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT RESOLVED. I HAVE TO WONDER HOW MANY CARS (WITH YOUNG DRIVERS BEHIND THE WHEEL) ARE OUT THERE ON THE ROAD LIKE THIS. THE PROBLEM IS VERY SCARY ESPECIALLY...
