Description of the problem	My pontiac g6 2005 had extreme power steering issues. The power steering over a period of 4 months would go in and out. Whether on the freeway or on local roads. When money was available to repair, the car was taken to a pontiac licensed dealership. After analyzing the problem, the servicing team said that the complete steering column had to be replaced because the problem (electric power steering) was within the column. With labor and replacement of entire steering column the total cost for the repair came to $806. 80. The mechanics did say after 70,000 the problematic power steering going out on g6's made in 2005 begins to occur in the car and the replacement of the steering column in alot of instances needs to be replaced entirely. Update (10/7/08): loss of power steering assist made it very difficult to turn the steering wheel. The power light initially did not come on. As the problem became more frequent, within the two weeks prior to the repair, the warning light began to light up. Since the repair (steering column), i have not had a recurrence of this problem.
