The contact owns a 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix. While driving 35 mph, the contact felt a knocking click when turning right or left. The steering column was replaced for the first failure, but the failure has recurred. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure and stated that a diagnostic would cost $70. The manufacturer stated that the vehicle was out of warranty and the component was previously replaced, so they could not assist. The current mileage was 32,900 and failure mileage was 32,000.

2004 Pontiac Grand Prix, clunking noise on drivers front end when you turn the wheel either left or right. I was advised yesterday that GMC is aware of this defect and at this time is doing nothing. There was a technical bulletion issued on 7/27/04 to GMC/pontaic dealerships. "defect" certain passengar vehicles have a condition where the front fram rear body mount bracket may fracture and degrade to the point where the intermedicate steering shaft could separate, resulting in loss of steering control, which increases the risk of a crash. This is a serious defect. I have spoken with Pontiac, GMC, and the local GMC dealership and gotten nothing but the run around! if you view a website called "mycarstats.com there are comsumer complaints on the steering column. I guess someone has to be killed before GMC acknowledges this defect. Please could someone contact me.
