In my 1999 Alero, it did this and it was traced back to the power steering pump going bad.
Only if its a flex fuel. I'm guessing no.
I currently have an 2001 Alero and it has 200800 miles one it. I have not had to replace the engine or transmission. The only issue is the fuel injection. I pay that is all that goes wrong.
