| While driving the vehicle on a city street ( where speeds are slow) the power steering indicator flashed on the dashboard and power steering failed to work. it was incredibly hard to turn the steering wheel and i almost turned the vehicle into oncoming traffic. the car has low mileage on it. when i took the car to the dealer, he said i needed to replace the power steering motor and the column had to be replaced with it. this appears to be a manufacture defect in the vehicle but again i had to pay out of pocket for the repairs. it was a costly repair. | |||

| Started car and power steering warning light came on and a chime sound and power steering was gone. when i researched found that many g6 models have been recalled with same problem. repair will be for part in electrical model for power steering and part in steering column. when researched found many items regarding recall on g6 models up to 2008 with exactly the same problems. repair cost will run over $12000. my car is a 2009 with only 55,000 miles. i do not believe i should be having this problem with this low mileage. *tr | |||

| When turning at slower speeds and tighter cornering a squeaking noise is heard from the steering column. also when pushing and pulling on the steering wheel the squeaking noise is heard. had similar issue on 2003 pontiac. seems they would have corrected it in 6 years.told by dealership on 2003 pontiac that it was grease pack issue and needed replacing. very expensive to fix. *tr | |||

| Tl* the contact owns a 2009 pontiac g6. the contact stated that the steering would continuously fail sporadically and when first starting the vehicle, there was an abnormal noise from the engine area. the dealer replaced the threading in the steering column twice to no avail and the dealer never gave the contact a reason for the failure. the dealer also attempted to detect the engine noise but was unable to diagnose what was causing the noise. the vehicle was not further repaired. the failure mileage was 6 and the current mileage was 44,000. | |||
