Making loud nosies when steering. Front end very wobblily feeling as thought the front part of the car feel like its going to detach from the car. When the car hit about 50 mph it would shake real bad. Very uncomfortable ride overall

While driving home my alarm system light blinked on then stayed on. The headlights shut off and turned on. After I parked the car and turned off the engine the theft deterrent system activated and my car would not start for 45 mins. I followed all reset procedures nothing worked. Had to disconnect and reconnect alarm. Now alarm will not work and the trunk/doors open or unlock randomly, radio turns off, lights turn off. Problem has been happening for a few weeks now noone in town knows how to fix.

While driving my vehicle I experienced a loss of power steering and a loss of acceleration while driving on a busy main street I was forced to come to a complete stop. My current speed before loss of power was 45 mpg and immediately dropped to 0 miles as the dashboard read power steering engine disabled. Luckily my emergency lights still worked and I avoided a crash but I do hope that GM resolves this issue and makes a recall as soon as possible to prevent casualties and fatalities.
