The power steering stops working while I am operating the vehicle causing the wheel to become very difficult to operate specifically as I need to make a turn. I usually have to apply a great deal of force just to turn. I feel like my safety and the safety of my family is t risk. Have been in contact with GM who has made contact with a dealer so I can take my car in to be diagnosed. …”

“I bought my '06 Pontiac G6 in june of 08. I had to have new brakes put on the car in dec '08. At the brake shop I was informed that my rotors were badly worn (more than normal) so I had them machined, the tech also informed me that I needed ne calipers. In jan of '09 my breaks began squealing again! My rotors were once again worn! I have read many complaints about the braking system of this model and therefore believe that there must be a defect. I needed new rotors when the car only had 60k miles! This is not normal!!!!! …”
