“2001 Monte Carlo ss; I've had many different occasions on where the car just dies while I'm driving it. They had a recall for the ignition key I took it in, they fixed the key-not the ignition, and still, to this day, the vehicle continues to die while driving, which includes loss of power steering completely. Luckily, I have not had a car accident due to this issue, but it's still scary when it happens. It happened again today, 5/29/2015 while driving and completely lost steering control when it died.”
