I WAS DRIVING OUT OF OUR SUBDIVISION ON A SMALL HILL WHEN THE POWER STEERING FAILED. I WAS ABLE WITH DIFFICULTY TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME ABOUT A BLOCK. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A LOCAL PONTIAC DEALER. I DID NOT SEE ANY WARNING DISPLAYED OR HEAR ANY BEEP. I DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE VEHICLE SO HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE VEHICLE NUMBER OR EXACT MILEAGE IS. I DID NOT RECALL HEARING ABOUT THE RECALL AND RECEIVED NO NOTIFICATION FROM GENERAL MOTORS. THE IGNITION SWITCH IN SOME VEHICLES HAS RECEIVED A GREAT DEAL OF PRESS, BUT I DIDN'T RECALL ANY NEWS ABOUT THE POTENTIAL STEERING ISSUE. GM SHOULD HAVE WARNED OWNERS DIRECTLY OF THE POSSIBLE FAILURE. *TR

6/10: DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT 65 MPH AND LOST POWER STEERING. IN 9/10, RECEIVED LETTER FROM GM INDICATING ISSUE SO BROUGHT VEHICLE TO LOCAL DEALER FOR STEERING COLUMN REPLACEMENT. IN 10/10, DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT 65 MPH, LOST ENGINE POWER AND POWER STEERING WITH INDICATOR ABOVE RADIO SAYING "REDUCED ENGINE POWER". I HAD TO PULL OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD, TURN CAR OFF, THEN TURN BACK ON AGAIN, TO REGAIN POWER. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES BETWEEN 10/10 AND EARLY 12/10 AT WHICH TIME I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE INTO LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THEY REPLACED THROTTLE BODY. I HAVE SINCE SOLD THE VEHICLE TO MY NEPHEW WHO HAS NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL. VERY DANGEROUS. NO RHYME OR REASON TO OCCURRENCES AS WELL AS WHETHER THE CAR WOULD REGAIN ENGINE POWER OR NOT. I DID HAVE A HEAVY KEY CHAIN AT THAT TIME. *TR

I WENT TO START MY CAR N IT HESITATED AS IF IT WOULD NOT KICK OVER... I RETRIED SEVERAL TIMES N IT SEEMED TO REV IT'S ENGINE HARDER THAN NORMAL. AFTER FEW ATTEMPTS IT KICKED OVER. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL DAYS SINCE. I HAVE HAD ROUTINE MAINTENANCE DONE, BATTERY CHECKED SEVERAL TIMES N NOTHING SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED WRONG! FRUSTRATING.... TO SAY THE LEAST! *TR

POWER STEERING DIDN'T WORK ON DAY WHEN I STARTED MY CAR. I HAD TO RESTART SEVERAL TIMES. SINCE THEN POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 65 MPH, STEERING WHEEL TURNS LEFT ON ITS OWN,( WHILE DRIVING OR SITTING STILL), AND JERKS LEFT TO RIGHT CONTINUOUSLY. BUT ONCE THE CAR THE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF THE STEERING WHEEL TURNS RIGHT ON ITS OWN AND CENTERS ITSELF. WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED BACK ON THE WHEEL THEN TURNS LEFT AGAIN ON ITS OWN. I HAD AN ALIGNMENT AND THIS HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUE, BUT ONLY MADE WORSE. TURNING THE WHEEL LEFT IS MUCH EASIER THAN TURNING RIGHT ALL THE TIME. IF SITTING STILL AND WHEELS ARE TURNED RIGHT, THE WHEEL WILL THEN TURN ALL THE WAY LEFT AGAIN AS THOUGH IT IS POSSESSED. *TR

MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN AT AN INTERSECTION THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING, CHIME SOUNDED AND "POWER STEERING" APPEARED ON THE INFO SCREEN. CAR WAS HARD TO STEER. CONTINUES TO GO OUT INTERMITTENTLY WHEN TURNING.

MY TAIL LIGHTS DO NOT WORK AT ALL ON THE VEHICLE. HAVE REPLACED BULBS AND FUSE AND STILL NOTHING. ALSO THERE IS NO POWER STEERING. IT HAD WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. ALSO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. HAVE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER TO GET THEM FIXED BUT MY VIN IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I WAS WONDERING WHY? ALL THE RECALLS THAT HAVE BEEN PLACED ON THIS MAKE YEAR AND MODEL ARE EXACTLY WHAT I AM EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH ON MINE. SO HOW IS IT DETERMINED WHICH VINS GET RECALLED. I HAVE KIDS AND AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF PROBLEMS I AM EXPERIENCING WITH IT. I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE MY VEHICLE AT NIGHT DUE TO THE TAIL LIGHT ISSUE, AND CAN HARDLY DRIVE IT DAILY DUE TO THE POWER STEERING BEING OUT IN THE VEHICLE. PLEASE ADVISE ON HOW TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND WHAT THE NEXT STEPS I SHOULD DO. *TT
