Dt*: the contact stated on start up, the vehicle sputtered and stalled. While driving 30 MPH, the engine overheated, the check oil light and traction control lights illuminated, prior to the engine power failing. The brakes squeaked badly as the brakes were applied. The vehicle was taken to the sales/service dealer for repairs. On the first visit, the thermostat and thermostat housing were replaced. The intermediate shaft assembly was serviced and the oil and filter were replaced. The stalling continued and the vehicle was returned to the sales/service dealer, where the right portioning valve was replaced and the brake lines were bled. The oil and filter were replaced again. The power failed again while traveling 55 MPH. After inspection of the vehicle the sales manager informed the contact, the crankshaft position sensor, rear struts and steering gear needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified.

Brakes have been pulsing a lot to the point that the car does not break well. Took it in to have it fixed and was told that both front rotors and bearings would have to be replaced. Told that this is a common problem with this car. Cost me over $1000 for this repair.

The engine will die going down the road at any speed, which is a safty hazard. When engine dies... It is very hard too steer and looses braking power. The engine then may not restart for several min. Takes several attempps to get going again. If a person had to get to a hospital on time it could make the differance between life or death. We feel this should be fixed by gm...free...and soon!!! Thanks john & dawn

Consumer states has had several steering malfunctions while driving. The steering wheel vibrates excessively and a "knocking" noise is heard from the steering column. When the brakes are applied they vibrate also. Consumer also states that intermittenly while driving the vehicle will skid w/o warning and experience loss of steering control. Vehicle checked by dlr who replaced steering shaft on 11/27/01. The problem reoccured. Nlm

Abs worked as brakes applied to keep from hitting a car that pulled out in front of wife who was driving at time.. Brakes then failed next time applied. Took to dealer who imformed me entire valve body would have to be replaced. No brakes at this time. Total cost ended up being $1820.75. Dealer insisted no recall or tech. Bullintin out concerning problem but reduced bill to $798.35. My concern is has this happened on other intrigues.
