problem #2

Jul 262002

Bonneville 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 85,000 miles
While driving at aprx 40mph the car lost all power, and the steering wheel locked up. This happened twice within 3 weeks. The brakes still worked, and it was a straight road so was able to stop the car without causing any accidents or injury. Stearing wheel and pedals shake between 65 and 75mph. Mechanic found that smaller bracket of the drive wheel has become loose. Replaced the bracket. Worked fine for about 2 weeks...then shaking started to come back...will be taking it to the mechanic again..
