Pontiac g5 2007 VIN [xxx] after steering wheel recall repair in september 2010 at bill stasek, wheeling, il I started to have knocking noise from the steering wheel at low speeds on rough . After that I went to ocean cadillac, bal harbor, fl to check the problem-the answer was that "probably" the strut needs to be replaced for about $600-$800. I said no. I contacted pontiac.com customer service. They explained that I need to go to another dealership-lehman buick GMC, miami, fl to check with them.
