Takata recall, I did not receive a recall notice and I am having severe problems with the steering and engine. While driving it feels like the steering and the wheels are about to fall apart.

Takata recall. Had the car serviced due to warning lights on dash board. Noticed oil on right underside of car near the oil filter and covering everything as far back near the muffler. It had been lleaking for quite sometime. Had a burning smell when car was running warm. Sensor indicated that the ABS brakes the exhaust system & the catylitic converter needs work. Replaced temp. Sensor & fans now work on both sides.

Steering began to ride different and made some type of constant noise in the front suspension/brake area. Control arms, wheel hub bearings and front brakes were replaced. Now I'm told the rear tie rod ends need to replaced in order to align the care.

2004 pontiac grand prix gtp. 45,000 miles. As of today, I have had this vehicle in service eight times for steering-related defects, beginning two weeks from the date of new purchase in january, 2004. Three different dealers have all told me "it's a design defect...there will be a fix soon". Replaced rack and pinion twice, middle steering shaft twice, and rack/pinion and engine cradle bolts spontaneously work loose every 3,000-5,000 miles. Now vehicle is out of warranty. Most recent visit to century pontiac in tampa, they attempted to charge me $75.00 in order to apply yet another tsb regarding loose steering, steering wheel bind, etc. I had to call pontiac and complain bitterly, they then waived the fee...but did not pay for the rental car. Thus far, power steering pump has failed and been replaced, A/C compressor has failed and been replaced, middle steering shaft replaced twice, entire steering column replaced twice, and there is still a persistent "jolt" through the steering wheel whenever putting car into gear, or turning steering wheel to right, going over a gutter, etc. Also, loud "clunk" resulting in severe shudder in front of vehicle. Dealer(s) state there is no fix. Have nearly lost control of vehicle three times due to steering suddenly loosening, or binding, wandering off-center, etc. Dealer says there's nothing more they can do. When is the federal safety agency going to listen to all the complaints regarding the steering issues on this vehicle and launch an investigation?? Steering rack bolts coming loose? Engine cradle bolts coming loose? Steering shaft failures and fractures? Every time the vehicle is taken to service, the dealers and service managers "play dumb" and try to say "I don't hear anything"...or "it drives like all the other grand prix's". Please don't let gm and pontiac continue to insult our collective intelligence and ignore these steering and design issues to the point where someone gets killed.

Right lower control arm cracked while driving and destroyed the whole front suspension and cradle of vehicle. I am the third person that I know of that this has occurred to.

I purchased a 2004 pontiac gran dprix gt2 in june of that same year. One week later the repairs began. The most scary occurring on the date mentioned on this complaint, may 26, 2005, eleven months after I purchased the vehicle. My car died while driving 65 MPH on the highway with my three small children in the back seat. The car had no power whatsoever, no steering, no gas, no lights, nothing. I thank god we are alive. The mechanics at the dealership diagnosed the problem as a faulty ignition switch. After this incident I rented a car at my own expense for eight weeks. We did not step foot in the vehicle for that period of time. For financial reasons I slowly began driving my car again. There were repairs before that event as well as afterwards. These include the brain, transmission, brakes, axle, wheel bearings, steering, sunroof, fuel injectors, and safety belts.
