Description of the problem | The steering makes a clunkin noise. It turns back and fourth by itself when driving and while parked. Some times when i start the car the radio says power steering when i start the car. When these problems happen i turn the car off open door so the radio goes off than start it and than it works fine until it sits turned off for a little while. Sometimes i'll have to turn car off and on about five times before it works. I have read that pontiac g6 s from 2006 through 2007 have a steering recall for the steering torque sensor but i gave gm my vin and they said my car doesn't have that recall. So i took my car to the dealership to have the other recalls taken care of and to check my steering and they said it is the torque sensor. Why is it the same sensor as the other g6s with the same problems they have recalls and mine is not under recall. It cost me 600$. I must pay because it's very dangerous to drive. |
