1995 Pontiac Bonneville my stsering wheel was making a clunking noise then when driving home I turned the corner going right my lower sub frame dropped out from rusted bolts and lost all control! no steering at all. Still shaking.can't believe theres a recall for headlights recall but no steering urecall.I called Pontiac and registered a complaint. For now I have to pay for repairs but what if was my life and not money I lost.these cars should be recalled immediately. The police had to come and direct traffic around my car while I sat there shaking.

I was driving with my children and went to make a right turn and the steering wheel lock I had to put it in park then reverse to make the turn went down a ways came to a stop sign as I proceeded it sounded a S though I hit something and the steering wheel became flimsy I couldn't steer at all it just kept going around in circles so I stopped the car a police officer came I had to call a tow truck long story short the bushing must have fell off because it was so rotted which in turn the K frame broke and the motor dropped down.

I was driving my 1995 Pontiac Bonneville and was taking a right on to a main street, when I heard a loud bang. The rear body frame suspension on the driver and passenger side drop, causing the steering linkage to disconnect, leaving me with 0 steering capability. After further investigating, the frame had rusted around the bushing and bolts holding up the suspension. This in turn, pulled the steering linkage out from the steering component.
