Steering - my 2009 Pontiac Vibe has serious manufacturer's defect steering issues that makse it feel very unsafe to drive. Even at low speeds there is a rattle that comes from the intermediate shaft, it rattles feels loose, and gives an uncontrolled feeling. My 2009 has only 59,300 miles on it. (aprox. 6,500 a year) this car has not been driven hard, all routine maintenance has been done on the car. There is something going on when there are so many complaints. They claim its not a safety issue. Are they waiting till people die from the issue? it most definitely feels unsafe, when it feels loose it does cause steering and safely issues at all speeds.

Loud rattling on front driver side when going over bumps or braking. Rattling seems to get worser each day. Sounds seems to have something to do with suspension or steering column according to local mechanics. Mechanic recommended to report this issue as it is very common upon 2009 Pontiac Vibes and its cousin the Toyota matrix. I feel unsafe, it sounds as if something is getting loosened as it progress to rattle louder each day.

When traveling at low speeds (less than 35), there is a noticeable shaking / vibration / rattling noise coming from either the steering column or front shocks, especially noticeable when driving over rough surfaces or bumps. Seems to be more drivers side. Looks like others have had similar problems as well as Toyota matrix (built on same line with same components) I have not yet had the dealer inspect the issue. Seems as if some component has come loose.
