I have decided to go for the Platinum trophy on the PS3, I did 3 play-throughs so far (Normal, Veteran, Hardcore) with different regular squadmates. Now I am doing the Insanity play-through using an engineer starting from level 56. I am taking Wrex with me on every mission (he is the last one I need the ally achievement for).
The first couple of missions (Fist and Liara recue) were going fine with Kaiden+Wrex squad, then on Noveria I used Liara+Wrex and that was fine too. For Feros I took Kaiden+Wrex again for more tech powers against all the geth. But now my squadmates have gone crazy, they ignore my commands and game options!
I was playing always with the setting that squadmate AI is allowed to use defensive powers only, so I can control when to use lift/throw etc.strategically. But on Feros they started to spam their powers making them unavailable at crucial moment I needed them due to being on cooldown. As soon as they see the first enemy they spam everything and when the more dangerous enemies come I can't use their powers. I double/triple checked my options it is still set to "defensive powers only", but they ignore it.
I got fed-up and changed the option to "disable power use" so that I have full control. Now, they stopped spamming powers and instead gone berserk and rush / charge the enemies to melee range and of course they die real fast. They ignore my commands to stay put or form-up to me or go to the cover position I am pointing to. They just charge in and die, so I still end up not being able to use their powers.
Could this be a glitch ? Did anyone experience anything similar ?
Or is it due to the combination of squad choice + mission + insanity level ?
Wrex and Kaiden going insane

Are you sure their powers aren't on your quickbar (I actaully don't know if ps3 version allows that... Probably not)? If they are, you might accidentally be using their powers instead of your own.
Generally though, teammates are pretty stupid in Mass Effect 1. You should expect them to be unreliable aka don't trust them to follow you 100%.
I usually just tell them to stay in a room away from the fight so I can still use their powers, without them getting in the way or getting killed. If the enemies rush you just fall back to the room your teammates are in and have them use shotguns.
If they won't follow your hold position command and always rush enemies, you might aswell give them shotguns and hope they get some kills before dying.

Feros has a problem spot in the Geth Tunnels area, specifically the doorway to where you kill the Alpha Varren and pick up the power cell. However the effects don't match up with yours; the squadmates stand still and don't do anything.

It's a glitch. I have had this happen occasionally. Tali once thought she was Krogan, used all her powers in quick succession then charged the enemy and died quickly.
Reloading your last save should fix the problem.

Yes it was a glitch. Loading up my save and continuing next day, I no longer have this problem.
Don't know what triggered the crazy state, but I'm glad it is not permanent.

The only issue I commonly run into is that they will stop following me whatsoever, but dropping a quick save and reloading fixes that too.
