The car will stall out and the steering wheel and brake pedal locks during while braking, this could be dangerous; I have already loss control of the vehicle and rolled into a curve during a turn. I don't know if this is related, but the traction control light has been on for a while.

Failing MAF can be dangerous - in my case the engine stopped as the car entered a major road and without power steering I had to glide the car to the bike lane. The car was towed to a Pontiac dealer who charged $450 for 20 minutes work and a part that costs $150.

car can run great for an hour or for several days, then, when slowing down for a turn or stop light, the car just shuts off. i am suspecting the crank position sensor, but have not replaced it yet, because the car is just finishing up a 3 day run with no problem. BUT, i am sure it is going to stall on me in the next day or so. there is no "check engine" light with this problem, so i'm just guessing.
