Several problems at different times.olt fell out of rear of engine cradle causing loss of steering. Went into the ditch and could have been serious if it had happened at a different location. Severe oil leak in engine, origin unknown.ilting mechanism in steering column is loose which caused bracket to break and allows steering wheel to move up and down. While steering wheel is down and being turned, the car dies. Seat tilt mechanism on front passenger seat does not hold seat back in upright position. White smoke comes out of steering column after the car is started. Rear brake calipers rust causing brakes to lock up and score the rotor.

The steering column had been smoking when the turn signals were used then one evening the ignition switch caught fire. The whole dash and steering wheel column, and instrument cluster had to be replaced. If your steering wheel smokes when you use your signals have it checked.

1993 pontiac grand prix, smoke coming from the steering column.

Filed Jan 31, 2003 · Electrical · OH

I own a 1993 pontiac grand prix that I purchased used in 1998. 2 years ago, occassionally smoke started to come out of the steering wheel when I would start the car, fearing it would catch on fire, I would only drive it when I really had to. I have talked to pontiac and they said more complaints would have to come in for them to do anything. My father-in-law bought a 2000 grand prix and last week it did the same thing. Can we get a recall on this?
