'cold power steering.'
Rack and pinion failure.
Gen motors rack and pinion gears have been defective since1980 when they were first produced. I am a retired factory service representative for general motors and i know this for a fact. When i was in the "field" i was told unofficially to make a 'goodwill" adjustment for any complaints of rack and pinion steering gears that would "lock-up" during vehicle operation. The defect is due to the design of a steel spool valve pinion in an aluminum rack assembly. Presently the manufacturers have corrected the defect by installing a steel sleeve in the pinion section of the rack assembly sometimes referred to as a 'top hat" rack and pinion assembly. Comparisons form earlier designs and present will confirm this to be true. I believe my vehicle should be repaired at no charge due to this inherent manufacturer defect.
Rack/pinion gear failed, causing steering difficulty. *dh

Rack and pinion steering has gone out at 57k miles.tt
The left and right sub-frame that supports the engine and transmission broke (rusted out maybe) at the front ,around the isolators. This dropped everything down about 6-8inches. Luckily this happened at a very low speed. The vehicle was very hard to steer and really shouldn't have been driven anywhere. I was a mile or two from a mechanic shop, so i drove it there.
Heater core failed.
Plastic inwindshield froze, followed by cloudiness/haziness, resulting in poor visibility. *dsh
