1997 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme steering complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 14 of 14, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Consumer stated while driving steering failed when wheel was turned to the left. Dealer diagnosed that rack and pinion had failed and consumer had replaced. Ts
Vehicle backed out of a parking place, and when I began to move forward the steering wheel wouldn't turn, even with force. A "squooshing" noise was heard. After a moment, the steering wheel again would turn so I went straight home (approx. 1 1/2 miles). Had car in shop next day for repair and was told rack & pinion bad. Dealership said mfgr not responsible due to age of car. I don't feel this item should've failed at only 5 yrs and less than 100k miles.
Steering failed. Nlm
