Description of the problem	I own a 2008 pontiac g-6 (value leader model) 2. 4l engine with electric steering. At 15,000 miles the motor for the electric steering went out causing a dtc and p/s message on the radio dic, i had no power steering at this point. The motor and control module were replaced by the dealership where i bought the car. At 66,000 the steering begin having random movement left to right on its own at various speeds, on three occasions the lost of steering control nearly caused an accident each time. The only way to regain control and stop the movement of the steering left to right is to come to a complete stop and sometimes shut the car off and restart the car. Since this started the car has been to the dealership for repair three times. The outcome thus far is the dealership can not duplicate the problem. The intermediate shaft also had clunking noise and movement up and down by pulling on steering wheel. The shaft has been replaced with 2nd generation shaft from a technical service bulletin. On 12/23/2009 i paid to have the torque/position sensor replaced and calibrated. After six days of driving the car the random movement left to right and control loss came back. Currently the car is back at the dealership for test driving to duplicate the problem. The issue has been duplicated on 01/12/2010 my options seem to be at this point for gm to replace the entire steering column or help replace the car. I am currently not happy with the vehicle and fear for my safety to drive the car.
