STEERING PROBLEM IN 1999 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE. DIAGNOSED INDEPENDENTLY BY TWO NON-OLDSMOBILE REPAIR SHOPS AS: REPLACEMENT OF RACK & PINION STEERING SYSTEM, LOWER CONTROL ARM & BUSHINGS NEED REPLACEMENT. WHEN ENTERING LEFT TURNS, IT FEELS AS THOUGH POWER STEERING HAS CUT OUT, REQUIRING MUCH EFFORT TO CONTINUE TURN. CURRENT MILEAGE APPROXIMATELY 57000. CAR IS CURRENTLY IN A LOCAL OLDSMOBILE REPAIR FACILITY/DEALERSHIP BEING DIAGNOSED. OLDSMOBILE CUSTOMER SERVICE SHOWS NO CURRENT RECALL.*AK

1999 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE. PAINT PEEL ON BOTTOM DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS, BOTH SIDES. CONTACTED GM AND ASKED THAT I VISIT THE OLDSMOBILE DEALER WHERE I FREQUENT. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE PAINT PEEL IS DUE TO NO SPLASH GUARDS OR MUD FLAPS. CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND GM SIDED WITH THE DEALERS ASSESSMENT OF THE REASON FOR THE PAINT PEEL. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT EVEN TAKE PICTURES OF THE VEHICLE TO SEND IN TO THE GM ZONE ADMINISTRATOR AND WOULD NOT CONSIDER DOING SO BECAUSE THE CAR'S WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. HOW CAN THE PAINT PEEL BE DUE TO NO SPLASH GUARDS OR MUD FLAPS WHEN THE 1999 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE STANDARD OR OPTIONAL FEATURE DO NOT INCLUDE SPLASH GUARDS OR MUD FLAPS. *NLM

I HAVE A CLUNKING NOISE IN THE STEERING COLUMN. I FEEL IT WHILE I DRIVE AND ALSO WHILE MAKING TURNS. ONE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS THE TIE RODS, SO I HAD THEM REPLACED ANOTHER SAID THE GEAR BOX. I STILL HAVE THIS PROBLEM I THINK THIS IS JUST A PROBLEM WAITING TO HAPPEN. SEVERAL MECHANICS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I DRIVE ON THE AUTOBAHN IN GERMANY SO PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF MY LIFE IS IN DANGER. *JB

WHILE DRIVING THERE WAS A LOUD CLANKING NOISE WHICH CAME FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. *NLM

WHEN THE CONSUMER TRIED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. *JB

WE HAVE HAD SIX WINDOWS FAIL ON OUR 1999 OLDS INTRIGUE. GM REPLACED THREE UNDER WARRANTY, BUT REFUSES TO REPAIR OR PAY FOR REPAIRS TO THE WINDOWS THAT HAVE FAILED SINCE THE CAR ACCUMULATED OVER THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY. WE PAID FOR ONE REPAIR OURSELVES BUT REFUSE TO PAY FOR THE TWO REMAINING NON-FUNCTIONING WINDOWS. WE PURCHASED THE CAR NEW IN DEC OF 1999. THE ONLY RESPONSE THAT WE'VE GOTTEN FROM GM IS THAT WE SHOULD TAKE IT TO A GM DEALERSHIP AND HAVE IT "DIAGNOSED" AT OUR EXPENSE. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT TWO OF THE CURRENTLY FAILED WINDOWS ARE ONES THAT THEY'VE ALREADY REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THE INCIDENT DATE GIVEN IS FOR THE FIRST FAILURE, THEY'VE BEEN FAILING REGULARLY EVER SINCE. WE BELIEVE THIS TO BE NOT ONLY A FUNCTIONAL PROBLEM BUT A SAFETY CONCERN AS WHEN THE WINDOWS FAIL THEY STAY IN EITHER THE UP OR DOWN POSITION, WE'VE NOW EXPERIENCED MULTIPLES OF EACH. IN THE DOWN THE POSITION THE CAR IS NOT SECURE AND IN THE UP POSITION A POSSIBLE AVENUE OF ESCAPE FROM THE VEHICLE IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT IS ELIMINATED. *NLM
