My power steering light has been going off and on over the past several weeks. I took my car to the shop and they are telling me they have no idea why the light is on and can not diagnose the issue.
What's next?

I brought this car May 2008 it was like love it first sight, it was really sporty moved great on the road and loved the interior of the car. The first time I had an issue with the car was in November I had to have my brakes turned or something to that nature I did not make a big deal out of it because I do alot of traveling. On 2-2-2009 my car would make a loud noise while driving this was a first, I guess the wheel locking up on me earlier this year should have been a warning. So I took the car to the dealership and explained to them what was going on they took I look at the car and told me that Ponitac was having a lot of problems with there Steering Columns, the great news is it is covered under my warranty however what happens when it goes out again and I dont have a warranty. More should be done regarding this issue if you see a default in your protect say something to the damn consumer, we are the ones driving these faulty ass cars. What if am on the highway with my child and I can't steer the damn wheel in time enough before the the unthinkable happens. I will never buy another american made car in my life. Maybe with the bailout money they hire new engineers and service parts for there cars.

If I wanted a car with manual transmission I would have paid less for one. This car was automatic and the steering felt like a manual. I had to wrestle with the steering just to make a turn and that meant I would have to back up sometimes to complete my turn because I ran out of room before my arm strength could make the turn. I also had to get a rental car through them and pay for two days additional insurance because it was less expensive than paying my deductible if I happened to have an accident in the rental car.

I've been reading all of your comments... This is absolutely ridiculous that it's not covered under warranty or a recall... They will have plenty of lawsuits on their hands that's for sure. Can anyone tell me if they've had it fixed and it worked? I read on here that someone had their rack replaced 4 times already... What does it take to fix the problem. Thanks...
