MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT ABOUT A WEEK AGO, SO I RESTARTED MY CAR AND IT WORKED AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED A COUPLE TIMES A DAY. YESTERDAY I WAS DRIVING AND MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT ALMOST CAUSING ME TO RUN HEAD ON TO AN ONCOMING CAR. IT HASN'T WORKED SINCE AND I HAVE TO DRIVE WITHOUT POWER STEERING. *KB

INTERMITTENT BRAKE LIGHTS. UNPREDICTABLE. ALMOST REAR-ENDED. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT BUT NOT SUBJECT TO RECALL DUE TO MY VIN . I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS CAR. VERY DANGEROUS. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED BY GM AS TO THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM. FURTHER, GM SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL FOR ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM, NOT JUST A SELECT FEW. HOW COULD THIS HAVE BEEN OVERLOOKED OR IGNORED??? ALL OWNERS SHOULD BE NOTIFIED OF THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY. THIS HAS BEEN GIVEN NHTSA # 09V036000. TSB SB-08-05-22-009A. *TT

FRONT SUSPENSION ISSUES. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE BOTH FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARMS, BOTH FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS, AND THE PASSENGER SIDE STRUT. WITH THESE PARTS FAILING, THEY ALSO RUIN THE TIRES. THIS CAUSES FOR ME TO HAVE TO REPLACE BRAND NEW TIRES AS WELL. INTERIOR LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON WHEN DOORS ARE OPENED. PARKING BRAKE DOES NOT FULLY RELEASE CAUSING EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE INSIDE BRAKE PAD OF THE REAR BRAKES. *TT
