After three trips to the Pontiac dealer, my problem with steering system has not be corrected. The car makes a loud grinding sound when turning right at low speeds. Also, when going over multiple bumps, it feels as if the steering wheel is disconnected from the car. I do not feel confident driving this vehicle --- especially when General Motors tells me that there is no fix for this problem but has acknowledged a steering system problem on 2004/05/06 Grand Prix's, Chevy Impala and Buick lacrosse's.

Car was driving at highway speed. Attempted to move to left lane to pass a vehicle. Noticed difficulty moving steering wheel to the left. Immediately pulled off highway to investigate. Discovered that steering wheel could easily move to the right but was nearly impossible to turn left from a stopped position and was difficult to turn left at any speed. There was no noises coming from the power steering pump and it appeared to be working properly. Towed car to local repair shop. Replaced rack and pinion assembly. Old part is available upon request.
