| When i start my car i get 3 errors power steering. service esc, and esc off. i am able to turn my car on and off until the electric signal sends to the eps system so i am able to drive until the car is turned back off. because the sensor does not work correctly, it doesnt send message to the electronic power steering motor and causes the power steering not to work. this appears to be the same issue as nhtsa id 10499437 and 10479698. i understand there was an existing recall with this same problem that should be expanded to include the 2010 pontiac g6 and not just the g5 | |||

| I just found out the 'steering wheel torque impact sensor' is defective and the whole steering wheel column has to be replaced. when i start my car i get 3 errors becuase of this one sensor, power steering. service esc, and esc off. i am able to turn my car on and off until the electric signal sends to the eps system so i am able to drive until the car is turned back off. because the sensor does not work correctly, it doesnt send message to the electronic power steering motor and causes the power steering not to work. while driving and when in park the steering wheel jerks back and forth by its self and the jerking continues to get worse. i have not got into a car accident yet and plan on putting it in the shop tomorrow, but this seems to be a problem numberous owners are having. im sure if i would have let it go a few more days, the power steering would have cut off while driving, or the car would have jerked so badly it would have caused a crash. this is a very dangerous defect. | |||
