| 1993 pontiac bonneville (3.8l) rear engine cradle rotted at all for bolt points causing rear of engine cradle to fall out of the car causing steering issues and an eventual loss of steering. 1.) driving down normal paved city street. began turning a corner. (extremely lucky this happened at low speeds on a city street. if this happened on the freeway serious injury could have taken place) 2.) failure occurred once. any failure causing steering loss is one too many. 3.) not yet repaired in searching the internet i see that gm has issued recalls for this exact type of failure on the pontiac grand prix, but i do not see one listed for the bonneville. in searching the internet i have found many other reports of this occurring. this was critical enough to issue a recall for the pontiac grand prix, then this should be serious enough to include the bonneville as well. *tr | |||
