THE POWER STEERING QUIT WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING...THEN A FEW SECONDS LATER, THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS STILL DRIVING. I WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 35 MPH AND I WAS ABLE TO TURN ONTO A SIDE STREET, THOUGH IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN THE CAR BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING HAD QUIT WORKING. I WAS LATER INFORMED BY A MECHANIC AT AAA THAT A BRACKET THAT CONNECTS THE ENGINE TO THE CAR'S FRAME HAD COME LOOSE AND THE ENGINE WAS VIBRATING, WHICH CAUSED THE ELECTRICAL WIRING FOR THE POWER STEERING TO BECOME WORN, WHICH CAUSED IT TO SHORT OUT. I WAS LUCKY I WAS ONLY GOING 35 MPH. IF I HAD BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY ON A CURVE WHEN THIS HAPPENED, IT IS VERY POSSIBLE THAT I WOULD HAVE CRASHED. *TR

GM RECALL 14299 SHOULD CORRECT THE PROBLEM OF IGNITION SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE KEY MOVES OUT OF THE 'RUN' POSITION DISABLING THE BRAKES AND STEERING,. THE FIX WAS PUTTING A PIECE OF PLASTIC IN MY KEY. THIS DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I EXPECT THE IGNITION SWITCH TO BE REPLACED. I DID NOT PAY $50,000 FOR A CHEAP 'FIX'. *TR
