#20 of 26 Re: Pontiac Garbage! 4 Intermediate Steering Shafts and another new one!! [nomoregms1] by sacd Sep 03, 2008 (3:47 pm)
Replying to: nomoregms1 (Jul 12, 2008 3:46 pm) I don't think its fair to condem all GM products because of your bad luck, besides cars fail for a whole host of reasons. If you can tear through a GM in 30,000 miles from bad driving habits, you could easily kill a honda or a toyota just as quickly. Plus, your car has 87,000 miles on it. ANY driver who tells you that he/she hasn't put his share of money into a car with 250,000 miles on it is telling you a lie (I don't care who makes it).
#21 of 26 Re: Does anyone have a permanent solution for steering problems on Bonneville 2 [417445] by ezprocarcare Sep 13, 2008 (3:33 am)
Replying to: 417445 (Nov 15, 2006 3:59 pm) My experience on clicking in steering shaft (2000 SE), 110,000). Paid dealer $125 for a little tube of grease/labor (took 30 min but charged me for 1 hour book time). Lasted 2 years. Next, had independent mechanic lube ($50) has lasted for 4 years. Starting to reappear, will have independent mechanic lube again.   Solution...buy a Honda. Unfortunately, GM does not stand behind poor quality manufacturing but continues to build cars repeating instead of fixing issues. Example: two rear windows on 2000 Bonneville have cost $1000 repair due to a 25 cent plastic part failure. Contacted GM...acted like no one else has these failed parts...no help. Having learned my lesson, I have purchased several Honda's (200,000 miles) & am delighted with quality/no failure of parts like GM cars. I once had only GM cars. Now buying cars from people who demonstrate they stand behind them/you can trust. Easy to understand why GM is going down. Replies to this message: imidazol97 (Jan 08, 2009 12:08 pm)

Replying to: ezprocarcare (Sep 13, 2008 3:33 am) Odyssey transmission failures   >Solution...buy a Honda. Unfortunately, GM does not stand behind poor quality manufacturing   Go to the above link and see how Honda stands behind a poor product. They've had transmission problems in models for years and the additional profit has served well for warranty costs. GM hasn't had the luxury of the high profit. Before you pass this off look at the VCM Honda discussion and many others with problems in various models.

Replying to: mercv8 (Jan 08, 2009 9:01 am) I've read discussions about noises from the intermediate shafts. I'll look into them more. I have an 03 leSabre and don't have a noise. I have a 98 leSabre and don't have the noise. I have seen instructions on how to replace your intermediate shaft or remove it an lube it and replace. Do you do intermediate difficulty repairs yourself? Replies to this message: olliepop (May 27, 2009 4:47 pm)

Replying to: mercv8 (Jan 08, 2009 9:01 am) I have a 2001 Bonneville SSEi, I had the int coloumn greased a few times and then later they replaced the intermediate shaft with a new improved one and it has not had a problem since. That was about 30,000 miles ago. We have 109,000 on it.   My 02 Suburban actually had a similar problem and they replaced that one too, no problem since, now 121,000.   I love my Bonneville.It is one of the most comfortable cars in years. We have a G8, I love it too but the seats in my Bonneville are much more comfortable for long 6 hour trips.
