2002 Pontiac Grand Prix Steering Problems

“In 04 I had my rack n pinion replaced cause left side broke mataga of stockton did it they also replaced power steering pump ever since then I've had problems with the steering and now it's worse I've replaced the power steering pump but it still steers hard also the steering doesn't feel right very sensitive at times likes to wander and I have to use the button underneath the steering column to release my key I replaced the intermediate steering shaft still doesn't feel safe I saw in 09 you had a recall on steering knuckles I never received it can I get a recall on that to get replaced…”

“I bought this car used and the warranty had run out and the ignition froze up so I could not get the key out this one day.I played with the key and tried to move the shift lever and it was frozen along with the steering wheel. I left the car alone for about an hour came out and the key came out and everything worked good. Over the years this happened alot and finally I got on the internet and one guy said there is a hole by the ignition switch that you can put a pencil in very carefully and if you move it around it will release the tumbler and key. …”

“Major window failure, only one window works, and too expensive to fix. My car has 70,000 miles and I have had fuel pump failure, total radiator failure, and two heat exchanger failures resulted in radiator fluid all over passenger side floor due too cheap crimps on heat exchanger which requires a hugh dash dismantle to fix, window failure, dash heat and A/C control failure. The car gets driven 11 miles a day to work and back and we have put $1000's into this piece of crap. Dealer and manufacturer could care less and want this website removed. No one is willing to do a thing. …”

“Bought the car in april of 2017. Had to replace rack and pinion. A few months down the road was driving car and steering wheel became loose and it turned halfway to the left to keep car straight. Rack and pinion busted. Replaced rack and pinion again plus struts and the car will make popping sounds when turning steeering wheel. The front end of my car has been pretty much replaced twice. Scary to drive.”

“Car intermittently stalls from slow speeds (<30 MPH) or after starting from a complete stop. Complete and almost immediate loss of motor and power steering making it difficult, if not impossible, to steer. Will sometimes not stay running right after starting. Might take two or three attempts to get vehicle to start. Crank sensor replaced, mass airflow sensor cleaned. No codes or check engine light so no good way to troubleshoot. This is extremely dangerous as it can stall at any time without warning. …”
