Vehicle would not start as a result of a broken wire on key cylinder. Wire was routed such that it was cut through by key cylinder actuation. Approx. $350.00 for repair.

Intermittently has smoke coming out of steering post, mostly when applying right turn directional on.

White smoke and odor came from windshield wiper/cruise control/ignition switch area of the steering column. Cruise control and turn indicators acted eraticly. I stopped vehicle and shut off engine. Then restarted vehicle and proceded to dealership. Smoke came and went during trip. A steering column fire would be very dangerous in a moving vehicle, especially on a freeway.

Does gmc care about this? 4 alternators in 3.5 years. This is expensive, and my car died in the middle of the highway. The dealer says they can't do anything about it. They have replaced my alternator twice now, and I had a local shop do it the other two times. (the dealer being the 2 most recent.) this problem alarms me. What if my wife is driving the car and it just dies? Fortunately, I was at a light when the car died. In traffic? I shudder at that thought. And when the dealer says "gm knows about the problem" and nothing is done, that's annoying. My brother also had a 92 grand prix (which was traded in) and he went through 3 alternators also. That is 7 alternators in my immediate family. Can anything be done regarding this issue? Thank you for your help.

Alternat0r was not working properly and had gone out three times. Consumer said it was very difficult to be replace it because not many dealers carry this product.
