Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 28 of 28, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My rack and pinion went out on car. I was driving and suddenly could not make a left turn. Also my lights on my dash board come and go and my turn signals works when they want to. My head lights dim on and off at night .
I have been noticing a clunking and noise when I steer. Also when turning the wheel feels very the like the shaft is loose.
Can not make a left hand turn smoothly. Turning right is fine but go to make a left hand turn you have to wrestle the steering wheel. There was a recall for theis with the 98 olds intrigue but no recall for the 2000 model I have the 2000 model and I believe thjere shouold be some kind of recall for this defect the 98 and 2000 models are almost exactly the same. Nothing was doen to rpair this dealers just want yoiu to purchase a new vehilcle. Needs fixed soon could cause very serious accidents while driving possibly even death ....
While making an uphill left turn at approximately 10 to 15 MPH, the steering wheel failed to turn and went over a sidewalk. The driver was able to maintain control of the vehicle and pull over and turn off the vehicle. The driver took the vehicle to an authorized gm dealer (no local oldsmobile dealer in area). The mechanic informed the driver that the steering gear was defective and was replaced. Please provide additional information. *nm while making a left turn, driver could not apply enough pressure to turn steering wheel. Driver could not maintain control of vehicle. Female driver had adult male take vehicle to dealer where power steering rack was found to be defective and replaced and front end aligned. *tt
The consumer is experiencing problems with the rack and pinion. The consumer had the vehicle checked by the dealer and also contacted the manufacturer. The consumer stated that making a left turn is extremely difficult. The manufacturer has recalled the 1998 and 1999 models for this defect but the 2000 models have not been recalled for this problem, as of yet. Provide further details. *jb the consumer stated that she can turn right with one hand but it takes two hands to turn left.
There was a slight clicking noise in steering. *sc the consumer stated that the rack and pinion steering assembly failed and was diagnosed on 12/01/2004. A clicking noise was heard in the front end of the vehicle at zero MPH or low speed while turning the steering wheel. The power steering fluid was found to be empty. The automatic transmission shifts hard and clunks into successive gears rather than shifting smooothly.
Odi id number 10051520 stated problems that I had with this vehicle at 54500 miles. Now I've been informed that the rack needs to be replaced at 69,000 miles. The steering in this car has been an ongoing problem and gm refuses to fix the problem. I was given a verbal quote of close to $3000 to fix. Can someone please help!
My 2000 olds intirgue's power steering fails only when I turn to the left. I will not drive the car as I think it is dangerous. In reading online, I have discovered that gm recalled this problem on 98 and older cars, but has done nothing for the newer cars although they are aware of the problem. $1300 is a very expensive fix for a car that is not very old and I refuse to pay it.
Vin #[xxx] gm 2000 oldsmobile intrigue 4-door sedan, power steering pressure hose leak part, [xxx] 9/22/2002. Olds case #[xxx] reported to gm 4/6/03 (robert capps) mi: 19,743 miles. *al gm reports they do not repair pressure hose under new car warranty unless replacement is warranted according to gm. Part is still in the vehicle. Power steering gear inlet hose could eventually fracture according to gm dealership mechanics, causing flammable fluid to spray into engine compartment.

Power steering gear assembly was replaced at 26,000 miles. Currently, at 35,000 miles, the lower steering shaft must be replaced. *ak the consumer stated the vehicle continued to snap and pop when turning the wheel and over small bumps. The consumer took the vehicle several times, with no answer until recently, in which the dealer stated the steering column should be replaced. The window motor and thermostat failed.
When car is warmed up or weather is above 50 fahrenheit my 2000 oldsmobile intrigue has constant steering shutter or popping noise when turning steering wheel. This shutter and popping gets worse as the brake is applied when turning.
2000 oldsmobile intrigue with 54800 miles- steering gear has been replaced 2 times, intermediate steering shaft replaced 2 times, left side tie rod and strut replaced, power steering pump replaced.
Steering produces a clicking noise. Consumer is concerned that steering will fail.
We have a 2000 olds intrigue. While it was still under warrenty we had the steering intermediate shaft replace and the steering tie rod replaced. The steering has always seemed to be a problem. 2000+ miles after the warrenty went out the power steering rack went out which will cost approximately $1200. There was a pop noise when I was backing up and from that point there was no power steering for left turns but for only right turns. We had the car towed to the dealer and was told it was a good thing I had not driven because the entire steering was about to go out on it which would have most likely lead to a wreak. This is the same problem that was occuring on the recalled 98 model. The dealer service manager refuses to discuss and will not give us the name and number of his manager. Gm has said there was nothing they could do since it has only had problems with the steering.
Bought car oct 2000 as a used auto. Immediately had problems with it. Has been in shop for each of these 4-5 times at least. It has a vibration in the steering system. Midshaft was replaced, but it returned. Olds did say they would attempt to fix this. Ordered a new intermediate shaft, but they could not find what was actually causing this problem. Been also in shop for lights flickering, heater surging, temp gauge running hot. Alternator was replaced after a 3 week stay at the dealer. This problem returned 3 days before midshaft was to be replaced the 2nd time. Called dealership that was going to replace shaft, and decided to hold off until we could settle this with olds. Olds is not trying to rectify easily. I am reporting this to better business bureau at this time.
While driving 45 MPH an unusual noise occurred. After inspection of vehicle it was determined that tie rod broke and caused tread to separate on right front tire. Please give any further details.
Consumer states that the rack and pinion on the vehicle needs to be replaced that after taking the vehicle into the dealership the dealer noted that it needed to be replaced because there is a vibration in the steering wheel and the consumer cannot control the vehicle. Nlm
