LOST CONTROL OF STEERING. SINCE REACHING ABOUT 20000 MILES ON MY 2004 GRAND PRIX, I NOTICED A ?CLICKING? NOISE WHEN I TURNED THE WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT. IT WAS ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE AT LOW SPEED, E.G. IN A PARKING LOT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY TIGHTENED THE STEERING AND THAT GM WAS AWARE AND THAT?S WHAT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO DO AND THAT IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. I WAS NOT TOLD THAT I SHOULD CONTINUE TO BRING IT IN. THE NOISE DIMINISHED FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND THEN RETURNED. IT HAS BEEN MAKING THAT NOISE NOW FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. YESTERDAY, I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AND TURNED OFF AT AN EXIT RAMP. AS I SLOWED DOWN TO TURN ONTO THE RAMP THE STEERING LOCKED TO THE RIGHT AND THE CAR SPUN AROUND IN CIRCLES UNTIL IT FINALLY CAME TO A STOP. IT SEEMED AS THROUGH THE ACCELERATOR AND THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING EFFECTIVELY. THE CAR SHUT OFF. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND DROVE 2 MILES TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. I WAS TOLD THAT THE SHAFT WAS REPLACED AND THE CAR IS FINE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE SHAFT PROBABLY WOULDN?T HAVE CAUSED THE CAR TO SPIN LIKE THAT?THAT IT WAS DRIVER ERROR.*AK
SPORADICALLY THE CAR HESITATES WHEN STARTED AND PUT INTO GEAR. TYPICALLY, I START THE CAR AND THEN REVERSE OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. WHEN SHIFTING TO DRIVE AND THEN ACCELERATING, THE CAR HESITATES. THERE HAVE BEEN 3-4 INSTANCES WHEN IT SIMPLY SHUT OFF. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG.*AK

2004 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX, CLUNKING NOISE ON DRIVERS FRONT END WHEN YOU TURN THE WHEEL EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT. I WAS ADVISED YESTERDAY THAT GMC IS AWARE OF THIS DEFECT AND AT THIS TIME IS DOING NOTHING.

"DEFECT" CERTAIN PASSENGAR VEHICLES HAVE A CONDITION WHERE THE FRONT FRAM REAR BODY MOUNT BRACKET MAY FRACTURE AND DEGRADE TO THE POINT WHERE THE INTERMEDICATE STEERING SHAFT COULD SEPARATE, RESULTING IN LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL, WHICH INCREASES THE RISK OF A CRASH. THIS IS A SERIOUS DEFECT. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH PONTIAC, GMC, AND THE LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP AND GOTTEN NOTHING BUT THE RUN AROUND! IF YOU VIEW A WEBSITE CALLED "MYCARSTATS.COM THERE ARE COMSUMER COMPLAINTS ON THE STEERING COLUMN. I GUESS SOMEONE HAS TO BE KILLED BEFORE GMC ACKNOWLEDGES THIS DEFECT.
