1992 Pontiac Grand Am steering problems

The steering on my 1994 grand am is broken. The bolts that mount the steering gear to the cradle have rusted and both are separted. There was a recall on my 89 grand prix and I had the same problem on my 92 corsica. 8jb

While approaching a intersection where I intended on turning, half-way into the turn the adjustable steering column became unlocked and was able to move uninterrupted both up and down, while this did not stop my ability to turn...another driver who might concentrate on the movement vice completing the turn would most likely have had an accident. Please review your database for any other occurances and any possible recalls. While this is a '92, it only has one scratch (non-accident) and to me...is worth much more than whatever "blue book" says it is...I have found three (3) "steering column" problems, while not reported for '92s, they may be related; 91vo18000, 96v249000, 98v320000. Thank you. I will be forwarding this problem to the manufacturer but I would like a reply at your earliest convience - if there are any other steering column problems. Appreciate the job you do !.

Pontiac prides itself on driving excitement, it should actually be that it is a driving nightmare. This car has had so many problems. This is the list of current and past problems which includes: the trunk leaks/ incorrect speedometer that caused two speeding tickets/driver's floor and under the front right seat are always wet. Also,replaced battery twice/alternator/starter/ radiator and all hoses after a sudden "explosion." in addition, thermostat had been replaced at least 4 times and mass air flow sensor once. The rear window defogger no longer works, right side power window does not go back up/the tape deck is broken, front lumbar I seat broke around 40,000 miles. The front right and left wheel bearings has been replaced 3 times/tie rods have been replaced once on the right and twice on the left/ anti-lock braking system malfunctioned and front brakes wore out with in 15,000 (typical of most pontiacs just going by the comments of other pontiac owners that I know. This list is quite long and extremely disappointing, especially since the car is not paid for yet and only has 125,000 miles on it and is a 1992 model. *ak( dot number: tire size: 205/55/r16 )
