1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue gls. When the consumer exited the freeway, he heard a mechanical noise which resulted in power steering lost for left turning only. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the rack and pinion was replaced.

The car is was 6 months old and I hit a storm drain.the subframe assembly was replaced, also other components including but not limited to, the right strut, the left axle, 3 tires.the steering started shaking after the 'repair'. the car has been brought in to repair shops numerous times over past 6 months. Last auto repair shop confirms, it is not from the wheels.
