MY 2005 GRAND PRIX HAS AN ISSUE WITH POWER STEERING FLUID LEAKING WHICH LED TO A LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSISTANCE. I'VE HAD THE STEERING GEAR REPLACED ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO, AND NOW THE RETURN LINE WAS REPLACED. AFTER ALL OF THIS IT IS LEAKING AGAIN. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2005 GRAND PRIX GT, ON APRIL 28, 2009. IT WAS A USED VEHICLE AND HAD 28,000 WHEN PURCHASED FROM USED CAR DEALER. WHEN I TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE I NOTICED A KNOCK WITH THE STEERING SYSTEM. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM AND THE DEALERS WERE AWARE OF. THEY SAID THEY WOULD FIX IT ONCE THE KNOCK OR THE SYSTEM GOT WORST. I AM GOING TO THE DEALER THAT I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM AS THE STEERING SYSTEM IS GETTING MORE PRONOUNCED. I CALLED OUR LOCAL PONTIAC DEALER THAT WAS STILL IN BUSINESS AND HE SAID THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING SET UP. I HAVE FOUND INFORMATION ON THE WEB SITE THAT STATES THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING. THERE WAS A RECALL ID 09E005000 STEERING, IT WAS RELATED TO THE DORMAN COMPANY RECALLING 979 STEERING KNUCKLES SUPPLIED BY THEM. THERE WERE ALSO SERVICE BULLETINS REFERRING TO THE STEERING PROBLEM. THERE WERE ODI COMPLAINTS FILLED CONCERNING THE PROBLEM. I CAN REFERENCE THE NUMBERS IF YOU NEED THEM. I HAVE TALKED TO ANOTHER PONTIAC DEALER WHO HAS LOST HIS FRANCHISE BUT STATED TO ME THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM AND THAT HE WOULD FIX IT FOR ME. I TOLD HIM THAT WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR THEY WOULD FIX IT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. I AM SURE YOU HAVE RECEIVED COMPLAINTS ON THIS SUBJECT. THE SYSTEM HAS NOT FAILED BUT UNTIL I GET THIS CORRECTED I WILL NOT LET ANYONE DRIVE THE VEHICLE BUT ME. CAN YOU HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM, CAN WE GET A RECALL ON THIS. GM HAS TAKEN STIMULUS DOLLARS AND THEY WILL NOT STAND BY THERE PRODUCT. THANKS FOR ANY THING THAT YOU CAN PROVIDE ME IN THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I DID NOT INCUR AN ACCIDENT BUT THE STEERING IS ACTING UP AND I WILL GET IT FIXED. *TR
