While backing out of my driveway the steering became very hard and stiff when I tried to turn left. On the same day, while making a left turn, the steering wheel became stiff again and I had trouble turning. When parking at work, I could not turn left or right without first putting serious effort into turning. Might be a bad steering pump, but most likely rack and pinion issues. Also, I checked the power steering fluid level and it was low. Steering failure may lead to a very serious accident. I have an appointment to see the car dealer about this since this is most likely covered under gm warranty.

The vehicle stalled without warning. When the incident occured the vehicle lost power steering and brakes. The vehicle would restart after sitting for 5 minutes. The dealership has replaced the ignition and the ground wire. They also upgraded the computer. The problem hasn't recurred since the ground wire was replaced.

I have had the exact problems as stated in 10047425. Windshield wipers went out completely on a rainy day, module replaced, A/C broke on a hot day-fixed, power steering assist stopped working completely making driving the vehicle nearly impossible, vehicle started on reserve power when temp hit -6 degrees, heater motor stopped working completely the next day -10 degrees. Basically this vehicle doesn't like changes in weather.

Power steering assist failure, my 17 year old son was driving to his hockey game. In the vehicle with him were teammates and several friends. Luckily he was strong enough to handle the steering of the vehicle and no accident or injury resulted.
