My 2007 Pontiac G6 GT 3.9 l convertible has the same issue that a lot of the other g6s had with the Passenger Airbag Sensor (NHTSA 07V-146).

When driving the vehicle on the highway the vehicles steering wheel started shaking lightly and then all of a sudden the steering got hard and locked up the power steering and it also put a message on the stereo display saying “power steering”. I was able to pull aside of the highway and turn the car off and then back on. That seemed to reset it but the steering wheel kept shaking on its own. I drove it to the nearest car mechanic and explained the problem. I was told it’s very common on the Pontiac G6 and that there is a recall for this issue. Now unfortunately when we look up the car by VIN it says it doesn’t have a recall but the mechanic and myself have done research and there’s a notice about the Pontiac G6 have this exact same issue about the power steering. The problem is very concerning and is also very consistent as it does not go away unless a specific part is replaced which has been inspected and confirmed to be the exact part that is listed on the recall notice. Part #23232310.

POWER STEERING FAILURE. BY LOSING POWER STEERING IT PUTS ME AND OTHERS AT RISK BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS VERY HARD TO STEER. WARNING LAMP STARTED COMING ON AND GOING OFF WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. IT HAS SINCE STOPPED HAVING POWER STEERING AND THE LIGHT STAYS ON.

My power steering keep leaking making it hard to steer. Electric fuse keep blowing out,

I keep losing power steering control because of leaking. I contacted a dealership and was told that there wasn't any recall concerning , power steering, transmission, airbag and body control module. I contacted GM and was told that the recall has ended.

I'm having a really back growling sound & it keeps having lose of steering. 1 minute it's fine the next it won't steer. There has been several recalls on lose of steering with this year. It says all recalls has been done on it. But if that's the case why is these problems still happening

I bought my G6 in 2022. After about a year of having it, issues started happening. Everything was fine up until my passenger side airbag warning appeared on my radio screen and it won't go off. Could be a serious issue with the airbag. Maybe around the end of 2023 I started having problems with my power steering. I could drive down the road and all of a sudden my steering wheel would lock up. I could barely get myself to a spot to get off the road. I had to force the steering wheel to turn. I shut the car off for a minute or so just to see what would happen. After I turned the car back on the steering cleared, but as soon as I decided to go back home it locked back up. Now it's starting to lock back up this year. My major issue I have is the gas smell that's coming from the car. The smell is so strong, it's coming inside the car. When I went to get some tires put on car, the mechanic said he smelled the gas and there was a gas leak coming from the tank. The smell is so strong it can cause someone to pass out. It also causes the car to stall when trying to start it. I don't think this is safe. I have to drive my grand kids in my car. There needs to be a recall on this gas leak issue. Someone can get killed or badly injured if not taken seriously. I didn't have any warning signals appear at all about the gas/fuel issue.

Currently at around 220,000 miles and my power steering is constantly going out. Luckily it hasn’t gone out while driving, yet, but when I turn my car on the steering wheel is stiff and I get the power steering alert on the radio screen. I turn the car off and on a couple of times and it goes off. My concern is it happening while driving. Also, since this has occurred, my steering wheel shakes/turns left to right on its own while at a complete stop. As I’m driving I feel it trying to move on its own. Kind of scary.

FAILED COMPONENT SYSTEM: Driver & Passenger side Airbag system. SAFETY RISK: I was involved in motor vehicle collision, resulting in extensive front-end damage to my car. Upon impact, the driver and passenger side airbags did NOT deploy, which based on the extent of the damage to my vehicle they should have deployed. CONFIRMED REPORT: Yes, one component of the airbag system has already been reported to NHTSA for this make & model car pertaining defects or a problem of the passenger airbag sensing system/FMVSS 208, which can be referenced under the following Campaign number: 07V146000. While this is one safety component that is known & reported to NHTSA as wqell as GM, the component that I would like to personally repot is pertaining to specifically the driver side airbag as it did NOT deploy upon impact. INSPECTION: Yes, while my vehicle underwent a general inspection, following the collision, that was conducted through my insurance company, there has NOT been a thorough inspection into the Airbag Sensing System, or my vehicles Event Data Records (EDR) yet. I filed a Product Assistance Claim (PCC) personally with General Motors, letting them know of this problem of my airbags for which I have been contacted by one of GMs PAC customer representatives, but I have only heard from this individual once since I've opened the claim with GM. I have reached out by phone as well as email to follow up with GM on the status of my PAC, but unfortunately, I have not heard back from him since. WARNING MESSAGES: No, there was no warning light or message displayed anywhere that would be suggest a problem or that maintenance was indicated or needed.

The Power Steering stopped working randomly after driving on December 25th 2024, making it incredibly difficult to turn and keep the car steady. This made me feel very unsafe since I was driving my family. I searched online and apparently there had been recalls of my car model prior so I want to know if i qualify for this recall

When driving the steering will just stop working it is hard to turn wheel or control steering. I was told there was a recall on the steering system. There is a electrical problems within the steering system.

Car loses power steering randomly...it has gone out in traffic...it usually goes out as soon as I put it in drive but if i turn the car off and re start it it steers fine. But when it lost power during rush hour traffic I was almost run over and had the hardest time steering to safety. Why is there not a recall on this because I've seen several reports of this happening.

After purchasing my 2007 Pontiac G6 from a private seller, I quickly noticed a significant decline in steering responsiveness within just four days. A mechanic later confirmed that the entire steering rack needs replacement, and the cost of this exceeds the current value of the vehicle itself. This abrupt failure of such a critical component renders the car unsafe to drive. The specific component that failed is the steering rack, and it is available for inspection upon request. The safety risk emerged as the vehicle became increasingly difficult to control, heightening the potential for accidents and injuries to both myself and others on the road. While the problem has been confirmed by an independent service center, it has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or any other entities. No warning lamps or messages were indicating an issue with the steering system before the failure. The decline in steering responsiveness happened suddenly, and no pre-existing symptoms were evident. Given the severity of this safety concern, I strongly urge the NHTSA to promptly investigate and consider a recall. Failure to address this potential defect could result in preventable accidents and injuries to drivers, passengers, and other motorists. Your expeditious attention to this matter is crucial for ensuring public safety.

The steering wheel will start to shake as you drive and then it will stop. It will start again, some times is jerking like it is going to break. I can be parked, going 10 mph or 55 mph, it was random but now it is increasing. I have taken to 2 shops and everyone thinks it is electrical.

My taillights will not come on. It's not a fuse because if it were the the dash lights would also be out, but they're not

GM has routed the high pressure power steering line up against the header exhaust. This was done consciously due to the fact that the manufacture put a foil heat shield sleeve on that section of the line. Anyone with a spec of engineering insight will confirm that this foil sleeve is a postponed or bandaid for the issue. It's not a fix nor a solution but a delay in the failure of the line. The thousands of exact same issues online reassures my assessment. The immediate conversion to manual steering with the rear tires covered in power steering fluid doesn't seem to fit well on an on ramp while elder driving. Thank you for your time.

Electrical issue with my pontiac g6 I have had to replace my headlights bulbs multiple times due to the plugs melting I have actively seen the plug smoking and it has happened on both of my drl/low beam headlight bulbs resulting in plugs having to be replaced multiple times as well. My engine light isn't working and yet I have engine codes my service air bag light comes on at random my buckle seat belt light won't go off it stays on when I'm buckled in the driver's seat. My pressure sensor on my fuel tank has low voltage issues. When shutting the car off and opening the driver door all accessories that should of shut off are still active including the radio. The oil light is always turning on but the vehicle isn't low on oil nor does the message appear. When plugging in a car scanner the anti theft system light turns on and at random times will shut the car off. When the car scanner gets plugged in the rpms drop for a second and then go up as well. At times only one of my headlights work and I have to smack the headlight that isn't working to get it working.

Bad fuel leak , location from top of fuel cell, Definitely from the fuel pump area of the top of the tank. Can't drive because it leaks so bad that fuel is dropping on top of the exhaust pipes and I am afraid of a fire any time driving the vehicle.i really like the vehicle but can't drive it because of safety reasons. What now? I have read of other G6 Pontiacs having recalls done so why isn't my vin. Covered the same way? I am very concerned about this leak and for others with the same , considering that it is high risk for loss of life...
