Description of the problem	There is a current recall out for certain models of the g6 for electronic steering assist failure. As well as u joint issues. I believe my car is affected. My power steering only works correctly when its under 70 degrees. And it only works for a short time. Ive owned this car for 5 years and never once had a full day where the steering worked like it should. Dealer says my car is not affected and wants me to pay for a new steering motor. As for the u joint issue with steering. Ive spent well over $2,000 on trying to get my steering/suspension fixed and it still has problems. I have to get the vehicle aligned every month. The steering either jolts to one side when going over a bump. Or another way when flooring it. Its beyond dangerous! When turning a corner, you have to straighten out the wheel yourself or else the car will continue to go where the wheel it turned. I fear taking this car on the highway. After getting vehicle aligned, alignment only works for 2 weeks, then it back to where problems started.
