The 1995 Pontiac Firebird has 2 recalls, both addressing the same steering defect where a loose coupling in the steering shaft can cause sudden and complete loss of steering control while driving.
The intermediate steering shaft may not have been properly assembled, allowing the lower coupling to slip and rotate on the steering gear input shaft. When this happens, steering input from the wheel no longer transfers to the front wheels, and the driver loses the ability to steer without any warning.
