My 1999 Pontiac gran prix GT looses the power steering when turning left, right is ok. At a standstill, it is nearly impossible to turn left so the car has to be in motion to turn. It is not smooth, but jerky and the force varies thru the turn. It is definetly a handful on a windy day, when more effort is required in one direction than the other. I haven't been to a dealer yet, because they can't squeeze me in on a day I'm not traveling.

After vehicle is driven over 40 minutes steering wheel will lock up completely. Dealer has inspected vehicle several times, and had not been able to duplicate or correct problem. Vehicle is currently at dealership for inspection. Gear assembly and power steering have been replaced, dealer has also performed front end alignment, consumer was charged for labor, however feels this was a defective part and she should not have been charged for anything.
