What owners wrote
On 11/5/17 my 2007 pontiac steering locked and I was in a major car crash. The steering locked as I tried to leave a gas station after giving a stranded person a jump. I turned car off and back on and it was fine. Proceeded home and got on the highway, after driving about 45 minutes the steering locked again as I was changing lanes, I hit the back of a truck and my car lost control. My car went across lanes of on coming traffic and flipped and ran off the road.
I am the owner of a 2007 ponitac torrent which has the worse system in place than the cobalt and g6 you just recalled. It has an electronic assist power steering unit in the torrent that has completely failed me two times, both while driving the car, and has completely and totally locked up where I can't even get it out of the way of traffic, and it has to be towed from the spot it stops at. And dealer I have dealt with has told me to get rid of it because it will happen again.
