Description of the problem	1st incident occurred in december 2010 while turning steering wheel (ex.. Making turns) .. Loud clunking noise occurs turning left and right. Took to gm dealership and was told the steering rack and shaft had to be replaced. I've had several new and used cars and never had this type of problem. This is not normal wear and tear repairs. After researching online i see many others have the same problems. This cost me $833 to fix. Now july 2011 the steering wheel shakes violently while sitting at idle. Steering wheel moves left and right by itself while sitting at intersection. Steering to the left is very loose and when trying to steer back to the right is very tight. It is very scary trying driving when this happens and it is difficult to keep the car moving straight. Took it back to the gm dealership and now they tell me the steering box is going to need to be replaced. Estimated cost: $350~. After 1 month wait for the steering box unit arrival/back order. We take the car to repaired and when the gm tech opens the part package they tell us the new part is damaged and we have to wait longer the next part they order. These problems should be covered by & recalled by gm. These are major safety issues and are not normal wear and tear. There are many complaints from others having the same issues with other gm cars that have been recalled. Why aren't the g6 cars included in the recall. I was told by gm the parts are the same with the cobalt, hhr, some saturns. This is over $1100 out of my pocket to repair the defective parts from gm. Very disappointing.
