1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue - this car has been nothing but trouble since the first day I purchased it. The rack and pinion steering had to be replaced, this did not correct the problem with loose steering, along the car losing power steering and stalling. I have been driving on the interstate at 50-60 miles an hour, the car will cut off on you. I make a habit to drive in the right lane, so that I can pull over and stall out on the side of the road. I try and stay off the interstate because if a truck or bad driver is behind me that could really cause problems (accident/death). I have had major mechanical repairs done to this car, nothing helps. I can not afford to at this moment get another car but as soon as I am able I am going to get rid of it. General Motors should not have been allow to sell this type of dangerous product to the public. These incidents are still going on problem. The latest being yesterday, I suddenly lost my power steering while driving.

My power steering has not worked for about 3-4 weeks now; it feels very tight. I read the NY times article (6/7/02) about this problem and made calls to the dealer about this, but they haven't heard anything about this issue yet. I've made an appointment for 6/13 to have it looked at, but even with my service warranty, they can't guarantee it will be covered by the manufacturer even though this is obviously a manufacturer's defect.

Vehicle will stall out and power steering will go out, as well as other componets. Contacted dealer.
