: the contact stated the vehicle stalled out while attempting to make a left turn at 10 mph and there was a loss of all power. There is a NHTSA recall, #03V527000, regarding the steering. The vehicle has the same problems as indicated in the recall; however it is not included in the recall due to the VIN. The vehicle was seen by a dealer and repairs were made as instructed in the recall. Updated 2/9/2006 - as of 2/24/2006 the vehicle has not been repaired. On 2/10/06 the dealer replaced the transmission pressure control solenoid and replaced mass air flow sensor.

Automatic transmission failed and must be replaced at 71,000 miles. 'service engine soon' light came on. Dealer reports that code indicates faulty torque clutch converter solenoid. After removing transmission dealer reports that shift solenoid, torque clutch converter and valve body has failed and transmission must be replaced. GM customer support confirms diagnosis.

Hard steering to left only. Mechanic states that the rack and pinon steering needs to be replaced. See approximately 18 reports on NHTSA site of same problem. Some owners have experienced total loss of steering control. Please force GM to deal with this in buying the cars back before my daughter is hurt or worse.

The transmission has an intermittent problem that two dealers have tried to fix, then tell me that the condition is normal. The brake rotors have warped, it took three trips to the dealership repair shop to fix the problem. Warranty was charged twice on brake repair when only one repair was done. Defroster function on car was inoperative due to water collecting in ac unit. Ac has moldy smell that has not yet been corrected. Very dissatisfied with dealerships that try to repair car.
