STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN TURNING LEFT ONTO STREET, MID TURN WITHOUT ANY WARNING MY WHEEL SEMI HARDENED/LOCK. AFTER REGAINING CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE TO PARK. I NOTICED MY POWER STEERING ESC INDICATOR ON MY DASH WAS SHOWING PLUS THE OFF ROAD AND A SMELL OF BURNING.THIS WAS A SCARY MOMENT DUE TO THE FACT THAT I FELT NOT IN CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AND THE HIGH POSSIBILITY OF A ACCIDENT. THIS SHOULD BE A MANUFACTURED PRIORITY TO NOTIFY AND DEFECTS ESPECIALLY INVOLVING SAFETY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I HAVE HAD ISSUES IN THE PAST REGARDING ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS WITH THIS CAR. MY RIGHT HEADLIGHT CONTINUES TO GO OUT EVEN WITH ME HAVING IT REPLACED TIME AFTER TIME. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN FOR DIAGNOSTICS TESTS FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE CAR AND THEY HAVE COME BACK SAYING THE CAR IS FINE. ALTHOUGH WHEN I GO TO DRIVE IT, SOMEHOW A LIGHT COMES ON. EXAMPLES INCLUDE('ESC SYSTEM OFF' LIGHTS, 'SERVICE TRACTION' LIGHTS, 'TC' OFF. THE MAIN ISSUE THAT I AM REPORTING JUST OCCURRED TWO DAYS AGO. I WAS DRIVING OUT OF THE WALMART PARKING LOT ONTO THE MAIN ROAD AND THE LIGHT ON MY CAR APPEARED 'POWER STEERING OFF SERVICE ESC' MY STEERING WHEEL THEN STIFFENED UP AS I WAS TURNING ONTO THE MAIN ROAD. THERE WAS A CAR TURNING RIGHT INFRONT OF ME THAT I ALMOST HIT, BECAUSE I LOST CONTROL OF MY STEERING WHEEL. I THEN TOOK MY CAR INTO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP WHERE THEY INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS SOMETHING THEY COULD NOT FIX BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS AND I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT INTO A PONTIAC OR A CHEVY DEALERSHIP. THIS PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING BEING ELECTRICAL IS NOT SAFE AND A RECALL NEEDS TO BE DONE ON THIS MODEL AS WELL. I USE MY CAR TO COMMUTE TO SCHOOL AND WORK EVERYDAY AND THIS PROBLEM POSES AS NOT ONLY A SAFETY RISK BUT A INCONVENIENCE TO MY EVERYDAY LIFE. I WOULD LIKE SOMETHING TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM WITH PONTIACS AND I HAVE NOTICED IT'S A REOCCURRING ISSUE, THESE CARS SHOULD NOT BE SOLD TO CUSTOMERS WITH ALL OF THESE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT CONTINUE TO HAPPEN. I HAVE TO NOW PAY OUT OF POCKET TO NOT ONLY HAVE THIS CAR FIXED BUT ALSO FOR A RENTAL CAR IN THE MEAN TIME. THIS IS NOT FAIR FOR ME AS A CUSTOMER OF PONTIAC AND I WOULD LIKE ACTION TO BE TAKEN. THANK YOU.

STEERING
STEERING LOCKS UP WHILE DRIVING EVERY OTHER DAY SO I AVOID THE HIGHWAY IN FEAR OF HAVING AN ACCIDENT WITH MY CHILDREN IF THIS WAS TO HAPPEN. VERY HARD TO CONTROL / STEER THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN START THE CAR AGAIN TO UNLOCK THE STEERING. NOW A WARNING CHIME CONSTANTLY BEEPS WHILE DRIVING AND ONLY STOPS THEN THE VEHICLE COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP.
