 On highway traveling out of town averaging 60-65 in my 2007 pontiac g6 i lightly pressed brakes approaching an exit for gas when a the steering wheel started shaking. i had to press the brakes again to stop after exiting the highway to stop. the shaking was noticeably worse. i purchased the car used about 2 months before this event so i did not expect any brake issues. after several months my wife mentioned a noise from the brakes. i had the brakes inspected and the service person said the brakes were fine but my front and rear struts were bad. i asked him if this would cause the steering wheel to shake when breaking at highway speeds and he said yes. i took the car back to the dealership of purchase and they did a brake inspection even though i asked to have the struts looked at and stated that rotors were warped. after this i searched for problems with the steering on the model and year of my car. i found thousands of customer complaints of all the symptoms and issues i was having. i did find a service bulletin about the intermediate shaft in the steering.technical bulletin no.: 06-02-32-007g date: april 05, 2010 subject: clunk, knock or rattle noise from front of vehicle while driving or turning over bumps at low speeds (diagnose noise and perform outlined repair) models: 2004-2006 chevrolet malibu maxx 2004-2008 chevrolet malibu classic 2008-2010 chevrolet malibu 2005-2010 pontiac g6 2007-2010 saturn aura supercede: this bulletin is being revised to update the parts information for the bolt. please discard corporate bulletin number 06-02-32-007f (section 02 - steering. at this point i believe a recall should be issued on the entire front suspension including the factory rotors which warp within 2k-3k miles. re-surfacing these rotors increases the braking problem. and a non-metallic ceramic brake pad should be installed by a gm certified service department.
