I had a problem with the brakes as well, it keep cutting groves in the rotors, other then that though and the head gaskets thats the only problem I had. I don't think that the steering column thing is common however if you are just wondering you could check to see if there were any service bulletins. That reminds me I also had to get a shift interlock cable because the car I had didn't have one, and you could shift it in and out of gear anytime. But thats it.
