2006 Pontiac G6

The vehicle experienced a complete failure of the Electric Power Steering (EPS) motor, matching the identical failure symptoms of NHTSA Recall 15V064000, but this specific VIN is excluded from the campaign. Operating this vehicle without electronic power assist put extreme torsional stress on the manual steering linkage over time. On August 14, 2025, while executing a low-speed turn in a drive-through, the intermediate steering shaft suffered a catastrophic structural failure and completely snapped in half. This resulted in an immediate, total loss of steering control and required the vehicle to be flatbed towed from the scene. The subsequent free-spinning of the steering wheel also tore and destroyed the internal airbag clockspring, disabling the driver's safety restraint system. Photographic evidence of the failure and the resulting tow has been retained. A safety defect file must be opened as this excluded VIN presents a severe public hazard due to the unaddressed factory EPS defect.

When first started sometimes power steering does not work. Temporary fix is to restart the car. It's gone out while I was driving. This is very scary and hard to turn when it goes out.

Airbag light staying on dash and the passenger seat does not register a person sitting in it. The passage seat bag alert does not making a sound

I have the warning power steering on my dash and it’s getting harder to steer and turn then it quits and does it again it’s not safe at all

The electronic stability control has failed, due to sway bar links are worn out and causing wheels to vigorously wobble causing the Eps input circuit to shut down the system to avoid overloading the circuit and burning up the module , I believe the recall hasn't been fixed , Can you please consider the issue as dangerous and repair my car ... I am not trying to say this but I am homeless and dependent on the car for shelter as well as transportation... Please note don't use last statement to show sympathy on me ... I am doing ok today, Thank you, have a blessed day

Recall history for my car says that the recall has been taken care of for the power steering, but the car has power steering issues very badly

Twice in the last week my power steering quit. The first time, it happened after I had driven about 10 miles. When I put it in reverse to park my car, it quit working and was very difficult to turn the wheel. I managed to get it parked. After letting the car sit overnight, I started it and it was ok. Then again after driving it home, it failed again when I put it in reverse to park it. I currently have it parked at my house and haven’t driven it anymore.

Steering and steering wheel shakey and the power steering randomly goes out.

Power steering went out while I was driving it on 3-2-25. It happened before, on 2-5-25, and I took it to my service person right away. There was a message that said no power steering. Turning was a danger to myself and others because I do not have the arm strength to turn very well.

When driving I can’t steer correctly steering wheel goes stiff where I can’t turn the electric powering light comes on

When I go to pull into a parking spot or leave a parking lot I sometimes (often) hear a dinging sound then all of the sudden I lose power steering to where I almost hit the cars around me. There has been the same make, model and year of my car that has had a previous recall for electric power steering assist (eps) in the past

While driving the vehicle, the break lights are on, when you stop, or press the break peddle, the break lights go out, therefore giving no warning to the vehicles behind you.
