Steering Column Problems of Buick Riviera

Could not get first incident date entered. This is current time started in 2013. Have had repaired 5 times and needs again. When driving on freeway above 60 miles per hour and have to brake heavily it will start to shake and shimmy steering column fixed 2 times this year, as it loosens up and you can move it up to two inches back and forth.

Steering column/wheel started a little wiggle room, (wouldn't lock into place after adjusting position). Within about a month or so it was not drivable. It would not stay in a fixed position at all. In September 2006 we took it in to be repaired. They had to find and rebuild another steering column. It cost us almost $1000 dollars, plus the cost of a rental for about ten (10) days. The biggest reason I'm writing this now is because, it has broken again. (it is the same exact thing as before). I am wanting to know if this has happened to anybody else or is it an isolated thing ?. Also, have there been any complaints concerning the motor mount bolts breaking (the heads shearing off) ?. If not for the above listed items this has been one of the most wonderful vehicles I've ever owned. Thank you for any information that you can give me. Kelly gardner.

Steering wheel tilt is hard to unlock. Steering wheel has movement when locked in place. First time it happened, it broke and you could not keep wheel in the set position. This causes the steering wheel to move when applying the brakes or turning corners. It was found that the lock pin was broken inside column. This was repaired back in Sep. 2003. Has started to do it for a second time.

Steering wheel and column would shake badly. Tilt bolts are in coming loose out of the column. Problem is getting worse. Have not taken to dealer.
