I have replace the Cadillac converter on this car as well as 2,000 other repairs into my car. It is very dangerous knowing that one day when I get in my car it may caught on fire if it get to hot. It very sad all I would like to do is go to school and work get home safe guaranteed every day.

My wife was driving down the road and the rack and pinion broke and she lost steering. Because of that she hit a truck witch then damaged her car with $4100 in damage. I think GM should have put a stronger rack and pinion in the car. It didn't brake at the joints it broke at the gear that goes to both tie rods.
The car key will not turn on. I have to reenter the key and turn the steering wheel back and forth to get the key to turn on. Then once I get the car running it falls dead while I'm driving it. I have had my car towed twice because I could not get the key to turn on, this a daily problem and a very dangerous one. If the car continues to turn off in the middle of traffic some one could hurt very bad or killed.,
