I currently have the following problems with my 1998 olds Cutlass gl. My power steering is stiff and makes a "wailing" noise. My coolent system has a leak. My heat and air have completey stopped working. I have had problems (in the past that have been repaired_ with my power window locking up (drivers side). The sound system shorted out. The cd player quit working. I have replaced my wiper blades several times and they still do not clear the windshield completely. One time when my teens were using my car, they were on the interstate and the car went completely dead. . . Not only were they terrified, it was a very dangerous situation for them to be in.
While driving it was hard for consumer to turn the steering wheel left/right. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.
When turning the steering wheel towards the left, the steering wheel locked up. The dealer told the consumer they would not know what to do and it would be costly to locate the problem.
