My Pontiac's ignition key has fallen out of the ignition on at least three separate occasions while I'm driving/turning. In addition to the key falling out of the ignition, the steering wheel becomes hard to steer and I have to use the emergency brake to stop. The most recent incident took place one day after my car was serviced at a local GM dealer in relation to the 14350 unintended ignition key rotation post card I received in the mail. I did call the GM dealer to report that the car was producing the same high risk issues and that I could come up there and show them this same problem while their staff is also in the car. I was told " we fixed the recall problem you must have another issue that is not covered under this recall." I am willing to record and upload video footage to youtube or a GM site that accepts videos so GM corporation can assess my issues remotely. Thanks in advance

My wheel broke off while driving, had no steering and no brakes, not exactly sure what let go, was told covered under warranty and then after the car was fixed by the dealership the dealership said I had to pay, as this could not have happened. Company sided with dealership and said would have someone from the company meet with me and look into the matter but has not. I've been waiting since nov02.

2002 Pontiac grandam GT-1 has continuous grinding, rubbing, and popping sounds from the front steering. Also has uncontroled power steering where the car could go off the road. Dealerships can or will not try to find these serious defects, they say that it is the tires that is causing these defects.this is the second new GT-1 within the past three years with the same defects that I have owned.

The vehicle is a 2002 Pontiac Grand Am SE1 sedan with the ecotec 2.2L engine. I was driving on the highway there was some snow and maybe a slight amount of ice in areas. And the car infront of me lost control. In order to avoid hitting it I had to make a sharp left hand turn. While making this left hand turn I had my power steering dissengage. My dashboard lights all then lit up and the engine and all the vehicles power went dead. I ended up going off the road and was airborne and came flying down into the metal highway divider. Causing severe damage to the front end of my car and minor damagein the rear. The airbags did not deploy and there were no serious injuries. This however has occured now 4 times in this vehicle since purchase. The dealership stated twice before the accident "can not duplicate owners concern" and sent me away with no work performed. I then contacted Pontiac customer assistance center before the accident and they didnt offer any help either.
