Vehicle steering stutters,clanks,clunks and has been in dealership for the problem. They replaced the power steering assist motor/module assembly and said it was covered by gm,and was told it was a common problem. After driving car it still did the same thing,now they want to charge us to diagnose the problem we took it in for to begin with. The (iss) intermediate steering shaft has also been replaced with factory gm part , which was also bad when 1st took in but they didn't point out. This has so far been a great car and now has over 144,000 miles and I realize there are gonna be problems with this much mileage , but the steering issue is really getting scary and still not fixed and I can't afford to keep replacing parts that aren't fixing it. Gm should've recalled this problem on my car as they did others and fixed it with no cost...

I was driving behind a vehicle who stopped suddenly and when I braked, a power steering message came across the radio and I was unable to turn my vehicle left or right. The car makes a clicking sound when the power steering locks up. It can lock up in the middle of driving or when starting my car.

When turning at slower speeds and tighter cornering a squeaking noise is heard from the steering column. Also when pushing and pulling on the steering wheel the squeaking noise is heard. Had similar issue on 2003 pontiac. Seems they would have corrected it in 6 years.told by dealership on 2003 pontiac that it was grease pack issue and needed replacing. Very expensive to fix.
