Description of the problem	Power steering light came on and steering started acting abnormal while sitting in park, shaking vigorously. While driving the vehicle the shaking increases dramatically from side to side. The car steering then tries to drive itself at random times and if not holding the wheel firmly the wheel would be ripped out of my hands. The power steering also loses power sometimes while sitting in park and/or while driving at various speeds. Took car to dealership and they performed the recall on steering and there is no change in steering (light is still on and steering is erratic). Was told that i would have to pay 685. 00 for the steering column to be replaced. Referenced recall notice 10183 in which steering column sends signal causing loss of steering but dealer refuse to replace column. Contacted gm pontiac (file # 71-1263309904) and was told that the only resolution was for me to pay the 685. 00 for the replacement of the steering column. Was told this was the 3rd steering column in this car in 5 years.
