2009 PONTIAC G6 Steering Problems

The power steering keeps going out causing turning to become incredibly hard. This started in Dec of 2025. I replaced the column in 2022 because of the same issues and it is happening again now. I see some 2009 VINS have been recalled but my vin isn’t apart of that.

Vehicle looses power steering sometimes, the last time I was in traffic on a bend and went up onto the sidewalk. It's almost impossible to steer when it happens.

There is an immediate loss of steering while driving a 2009 Pontiac G6. The steering wheel locks up making it difficult, at times impossible, to steer the vehicle left or right. The only way to unlock the steering wheel is by placing the vehicle in 'Park' and turn the ignition off to restart the vehicle.

I purchased a used 2009 Pontiac G6 3.9L almost 4 years ago. I have experienced white smoke pouring from under my hood 3 times so far. I've taken it to the dealership and first time was informed it was a bad power steering hose leaking onto the exhaust- preCat area. The second repair dealership said it was a faulty hose. The third time dealer said it was a bad motor mount. After extensive research online, found out several years of G6 cars have the high pressure power steering hose about 1 inch from the exhaust pipe. This is causing the hose to melt due to the heat. GMC started making heat protective wrap around these hoses which still does not solve the problem-still burns thru. With a simple online search 2006-2010 G6 with the v-6 engines are still having this problem, costing owners money/time and safety issues. When I saw...

The power steering warning flashed on the radio and immediately the car was not controllable the car was stopped and restared and clicks now when turning the wheel but hasnt been driven becauseofthe steering and there are multiple recalls for this but this specific vin number is not included but has the eps that is referred to because it has a 2.4 l engine which only comes with eps

The contact owns a 2009 Pontiac G6. The contact stated while driving at approximately 35 MPH, the message "Power Steering" was displayed, and then there was a faint clicking sound before the steering wheel seized. The vehicle was taken to the residence; however, the failure recurred while driving at various speeds. The contact stated that only after restarting the vehicle with the steering wheel turned, the steering wheel would turn without difficulty for a short while, causing the contact to restart the vehicle with the steering wheel turned several times. The contact discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V153000 (Steering), however, the VIN was not included. The dealer was contacted and confirmed that the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the recall had expired. The failure mileage was approximately 189,000.

I was driving down the road around 25 miles per hour and I heard a beep like a chime and then power steering went out making it very hard to control the vehicle. Power steering was flashing on the dashboard. Turn vehicle off then back on it was fine and then a mile down the road done it again

Power steering goes out when it wants to, will go back on if you turn the car on and off , my safety for me and my daughter was at risk I couldn’t stop to turn it on and off because I wasn’t at a red light , it has not been inspected but it seems like the problem is we’ll known ,theirs a warning message that will pop up on the radio that you can’t hear go on or see until it’s to late

My eps keeps going in and out causing steering to be lost .loss of steering .I don't know.as the issue happened there was a display on radio said power steering,service traction control

The contact owns a 2009 Pontiac G6. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at slow speeds, the steering wheel became stiff and difficult to maneuver. The power steering warning light illuminated, and the contact’s wife veered the vehicle off the road and turned off and restarted the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the battery and the torque sensor assembly failed and needed to be replaced. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V153000 (Steering). The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the VIN was previously included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 170,000.

The car steering wheel gets super loose over bumps. The car shuts off at anytime when driving. I got it check, there’s a unknown problem with electrical system

My Pontiac G6 has only 80,000 miles on it. Just starting the car to pull out if the garage; power steering goes out; can't steer. So, I shut car off; wait a few minutes restart car goes away. within one block or less from home dash light say power steering problems can't steer. So have to do the same as before shut car off restart car goes away then goes out again in a few seconds. Had the car sense it was new. Look up recall #14V153000 Bulletin 14116 an called Dealership they said it is not covered. So how can I get a dealership to except what I found and fix the problem to make my Pontiac G6 safe to drive without having to pay for what's not my problem?

Sudden loss of power steering while driving. There was no warning on both occasions. One time I could not turn the vehicle and ended up leaving the road. Traffic behind me, as well, as cross traffic from the light change, piled up until I was able to run back over the curb and get back on the road. The car is currently at a repair shop for the 2nd time. The power steering recall affected the same year and model of my vehicle, but not the same manufacture date. My car was manufactured in July 2008. The power steering recall for my car ended in late June 2008.

The contact who is an independent mechanic, called on behalf of his client who owns a 2009 Pontiac G6.

The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed that the VIN was not included in the recall. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.

Power steering failed while driving. Turning was very difficult on snowy streets without power steering. After shutting off the car and restarting, power steering came back on briefly, then failed again. The car did display a warning that the power steering failed while it was happening, but nothing prior to the event. The car model uses electric power assist system. It has not yet been inspected by a dealer.

The contact stated that the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number 14V153000 (Steering). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 112,000.

Power steering goes off while driving. Previous recall for this reason while checking my Vin it states that there are no unrepaired recalls however either mine was never actually fixed or it has not been repaired properly.

I have had two incidents when powering steering failed. Luckily I wasn't going fast both times. Problem resolved after restarting car. I took to mechanic and was given a recall number and told to contact the dealership. I made appointment and was told that recall had expired. Apparently this has been an issue with this car for many years but dealership isn't always acknowledging it. The recall was issued before I bought the car therefore I didn't know any info or I wouldn't have purchased it. Since this has been an issue for many years, I feel that the dealership should always repair.

The contact owns a 2009 Pontiac G6. The contact stated that while driving at slower speeds, the power steering warning system would chime and illuminate then the power steering would fail intermittently. The contact had to use excessive force to maneuver the vehicle. The contact would then turn off and restart the vehicle for the power steering to function as needed. The contact stated that the failure recurred soon after turning off the vehicle. The dealer was contacted and confirmed that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V153000 (Steering). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 94,639.

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...

Please reference G.M. Bulletin 14116B or NHTSA recall on this vehicle for a defective Steering Torque Sensor. According to G.M., my car/VIN is not affected by this issue. The fact is it also has the defective Torque Sensor and it has disabled my power steering every winter since new on a cold day. I took it to the dealer when it was still under warranty in 2010, but the problem was not identified at that time so they didn't replace anything. I recently contacted G.M. to allow them to make this right. They told me to take it to a local dealer and have it properly diagnosed and then they could help me. I took it to a G.M. dealer, paid the $150 diagnosis fee. The dealer confirmed it was a defective Torque Sensor. Now G.M. won't call me back and left me hanging. They obviously know this Recall needs...

The electrical power steering randomly went out on my car causing it to lock up my steering wheel making it very hard to turn and putting me at major risk of multiple wrecks while driving and making turns. There is a recall for this issue for my car. However, my car’s vin number doesn’t fall under the recall. How can I have my car fixed if it’s having the exact same issue as the recall?

Power steering stopped working and message came on dash

Taking off to a slow roll without giving it any gas and turning right or left, the steering wheel is extremely difficult to turn. There is absolutely no power steering. It lasts as long until you you give it gas and then the power steering will start working again. While at a steady maintained speed on flat level ground and while at a steady maintained speed going up hill rpm between 2,000-2,500 , the vehicle begins to shake/buck/shudder/stall. Give it some gas and it begins to run smoothly again after about 3 seconds.

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A RESIDENTIAL CITY STREET WHEN I LOST POWER-ASSISTED STEERING ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AFTER A FULL-STOP AT A STOP SIGN. SUDDENLY, IT REQUIRED A GREAT DEAL OF EFFORT TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NO. 14V153000 EXACTLY DESCRIBES THE CONDITION EXPERIENCED WITH MY VEHICLE: "IF POWER STEERING ASSIST IS LOST, GREATER DRIVER EFFORT WOULD BE REQUIRED TO STEER THE VEHICLE AT LOW SPEEDS, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH." I DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY VEHICLE.

2009 PONTIAC G6- THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING LOSS POWER WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ON A HIGHWAY AT 50 MPH AND REVERTED INTO MANUAL STEERING MODE CAUSING EXTREME DIFFICULTY CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE IN MOTION ALMOST CAUSING A SEVERE ACCIDENT. I RESEARCHED THE DEFECT ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE AND FOUND THAT THE SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLES WERE INCLUDED IN A GM SAFETY RECALL FOR THE TORQUE SENSOR ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT WHICH IS WHAT THE NECESSARY REPAIR THAT IS REQUIRED FOR MY VEHICLE. I CALLED GM/PONTIAC 1-800-762-2737 REPORTING THE ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE VIN FOR VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR THE STEERING TORQUE SENSOR THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE PRODUCT SAFETY RECALL BULLETIN NUMBER FOR THE EPS LOSS OF POWER REFERENCED IS 14116.

BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE FOOT IS NOT ON THE BRAKE AND THEN THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES OFF WHEN BRAKING. ALSO THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING IS NOT WORKING SOMETIMES WHEN STARTING THE CAR. I TURN IT OFF AND RESTART AND IT WORKS. IT HAS ALSO KICKED OFF A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. BASED ON YOUR WEBSITE THE ISSUES ARE LISTED FOR THE PONTIAC G6 SAAB AND CHEVY MALIBU. BUT BASED ON MY VIN # IT'S NOT INCLUDED. IN CHECKING WITH GM THEY DID THE BRAKE LIGHT RECALL BACK IN 2014 ON THIS CAR BUT THE PROBLEM IS BACK AGAIN AND THEY SHOW NO RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THE POWER STEERING ISSUE. THE POWER STEERING IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE ALONG WITH THE PROPER FUNCTIONING BRAKE LIGHT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION ON THIS MATTER.

EVERY TIME I'M TURNING SLIGHTLY RIGHT MY POWER STEERING GOES OFF. IT HAS DONE THIS ON THE HIGHWAY AND SIDE STREETS. IF I TURN OFF CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON IT RESETS AND WORKS AGAIN. I HAD THE COMPUTER RESET AND AFTER ONE DAY IT FAILED AGAIN. I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S JUST THE TORQUE SENSOR, COMPUTER OR STEERING COLUMN.

I WILL BE DRIVING AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING WILL COME ACROSS THE RADIO AND IT'S HARD TO STEER HOWEVER IF I PULL OVER TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON IT GOES AWAY FOR A FEW MINUTES

MY VEHICLE JERKS TO THE LEFT WHEN BREAKING AND I FIND IT VERY DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING IT. SO I LOOKED MY VEHICLE UP AND IT HAS A FEW RECALLS INCLUDING THE STEERING WHICH COULD BE CAUSED FRONT HE JOINT BEARING IT SAYS WHICH CAN FAIL AND PREMATURELY CAUSE SEPARATION OF THE U-JOINT AND A COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL WHICH IS A HIGH RISK OF A CRASH. SO I WAS TOLD TO CONTACT MY DORMAN OR USE THIS WEBSITE TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW.

OK FIRST MY STEREO WAS WORKING FINE THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN ONLY THE TWEETERS ARE WORKING NOW AND THEN JUS LAST NIGHT THE POWER STEERING MESSED UP THE LIGHT ON MY DASH CAME ON AN CAN'T BARELY STEER IT I'M NOT AS WORRIED ABOUT THE STEREO AS I AM THE POWER STEERING SO I WAS WONDERING IS THERE A RECALL FOR THAT BECAUSE THAT'S DANGEROUS AND SHOULD OF NEVER HAPPEN COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT

THE POWER STEERING SPONTANEOUSLY FAILED WHILE DRIVING. IT SEEMS TO BE PART OF A PREVIOUS RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. THEY STATED THAT MY CAR BASED ON THE VIN NUMBER IS NOT PART OF THIS RECALL. I WAS DRIVING AND THE CONTROL LIGHT FLASHED ON THE DASHBOARD. ON MY MESSAGE CENTER THE WORDS “POWER STEERING” APPEARED AND I HAD LOST POWER STEERING TO THE STEERING COLUMN. THE VEHICLE BECAME EXTREMELY HARD TO STEER..

THE POWER STEERING SPONTANEOUSLY FAILED WHILE DRIVING. I CALLED GM TO REPORT THIS ISSUE AS IT SEEMS TO BE PART OF A PREVIOUS RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. THEY STATED THAT MY CAR BASED ON THE VIN NUMBER IS NOT PART OF THIS RECALL. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE CAR MADE A 'DINGING' SOUND AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT FLASHED ON THE DASHBOARD. ON MY MESSAGE CENTER THE WORDS 'POWER STEERING' APPEARED AND I HAD LOST POWER STEERING TO THE STEERING COLUMN. THE VEHICLE BECAME EXTREMELY HARD TO MANEUVER AT THIS POINT.

THE ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM HAS FAILED SO THAT THE POWER STEERING IS SPONTAIASLY DISABLED WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS CONCERNING THIS AND THE RECALL PERTAINING TO THIS FACTORY DEFECT. RECALL # 14V153000. RECALL DATE IS 3/21/2014. ANOTHER RECALL FOR THIS SAME ISSUE IS RECALL #N140115, BULLETIN #14119 (TO PROVIDE EPS MOTOR FOR "THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE". I HAVE CALLED THE TOLL FREE NUMBER AND SPOKE WITH THEIR REPRESENTATIVE, AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY REFUSE TO HONOR THE RECALL AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AT MY OWN EXPENSE. THE UNIT WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.

THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM FAILED WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MILES PER HOUR. AFTER CHECKING, I FOUND THAT THERE IS A RECALL CONCERNING PROBLEM. RECALL DATE 3/31/14 WITH THE 2005-2009 PONTIAC G6. I CONTACTED THE GM REPRESENTATIVE AT THE 1800 NUMBER AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS RECALL DOESN'T PERTAIN TO THE PARTICULAR 09 G6 THAT I HAVE PURCHASED.

PROBLEMS WITH MY ELECTRIC ASSIST POWER STEERING IT KEEPS GOING IN AND OUT I'VE ALMOST WRECKED SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE OF IT GM OFFER TO RECALL BUT SAYS MY VIN NUMBER DOESN'T COVER THE RECALL FOR THE ELECTRIC ASSIST POWER STEERING FOR MY CAR. MY CAR WAS CLEARLY EFFECTED BY THE PROBLEMS WITH THIS PART. IT'S A SAFTEY ISSUE AND ALMOST KILLED MY SELF MY SON AND MY UNBORN CHILD. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE PASTOR AND DECIDE TO GO OUT THE FIRST TIME AND CAUSED ME TO GO OVER INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC SECOND TIME I WAS DRIVING IN THE CITY AND IT DID THE SAME THING. BEING PREGNANT WITH HIGH RISK PREGNANCY MADE STEERING MY CAR ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE WHEN THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. THE ELECTRIC ASSIST MOTOR OR POWER STEERING WHATEVER YOU WANNA CALL IT IS THE WORST THING GM EVER DID. IT'S PROBABLY CAUSED...

MY EPS KEEPS MALFUNCTIONING AND I LOSE THE ABILITY TO STEER MY CAR. I'VE DONE RESEARCH ON THE RECALLS BUT, CAN NOT SOLVE MY PROBLEMS. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND I FEELS IT'S TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.

THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. WHEN IT GOES OUT, I MUST STEER MANUALLY. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING. IT IS DIFFICULT TO STAY IN MY LANE. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ACCIDENTS AS OF YE, BUT CAR IS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL WHEN THIS HAPPENS. AFTER SITTING FOR AWHILE, IT IS FINE AND POWER STEERING WORKS AGAIN. IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE IN YEARS PAST BUT HAS NOT OCCURRED IN AWHILE SO I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE. NOW, IT IS HAPPENING MORE OFTEN.

GOT PULLED OVER FOR BRAKE LIGHTS NOT ACTING WHEN ENGAGED, AND VICEVERSA. OFFICER NOTICED I WAS DRIVING FINE, BUT MY LIGHTS WERE NOT. ISSUES WITH STEERING, JERKY MOTIONS AT LOW SPEED CAN'T DISENGAGE PARKING OR PARKING BRAKE WITHOUT BRAKING ENGAGED SHIFT STICK WHEN CHANGING TO DRIVE CONSTANT STEERING AND TIRE SENSOR SERVICE SENSOR

WHILE DRIVING CAR UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS YOU LOSE POWER TO THE STEERING WHEEL MAKING IT HARD TO TURN VEHICLE AT LOW SPEEDS. THE ONLY WAY TO REGAIN POWER TO THE STEERING CONTROL IS TO COMPLETELY TURN THE CAR OFF AND REMOVE THE KEY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IF YOU'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD OR ON THE HIGHWAY.

STEERING WHEEL TWITCHES AND SHAKES WHILE IN IDLE AND WHILE DRIVING. POWER STEERING INDICATOR ILLUMINATES WHEN INITIALLY STARTING THE VEHICLE AND LOSS OF POWER STEERING.

THE POWER STEERING IN MY CAR IS INCREDIBLY BAD. IF I START MY CAR, I CANNOT TURN THE WHEEL AT ALL, IT NEEDS A LARGE AMOUNT OF FORCE TO TURN. IF I TURN THE CAR OFF AND START IT UP AGAIN, ITS GOOD AS NEW...UNTIL I START DRIVING. IF I AM DRIVING TO A PLACE THAT TAKES 25 MINUTES, IT WILL LOCK UP ATLEAST 3 TO 4 TIMES. THIS MORNING WHILE TURNING ONTO THE HIGHWAY, IT LOCKED UP AND EVEN WHEN I TRIED TO PULL OVER AND START IT UP AGAIN, IT STAYED LOCKED.
