I was driving down the road coming around a bend and all of a sudden my car had no steering. I felt worse than manual steering. I had to have my cousin get the flat bed to tow my to the garage. It would of cost me a lot more money but my cousin owns his own shop.

GM really botched this design. the rack and pinion is just too small for this vehicle. it has failed 3 times since ive owned it. parts were 310.00 but the labor is all mine. And yes I am an ASE mechanic so I know what IM doing.

I only have 80,000 miles on this car and the rack and pinion is bad. I was driving and it happened all at once I could not hardly turn the car. I had my daughter and 4 year old granddaughter in car. I AM NOT A HAPPY CAMPER. The parts place is to call me for an amount to fix it. I was told it is as really big job to fix it. First Pontiac I ever owned and not happy about this. Patty B
