When I drove on high way or local, suddenly the car is power off, engine and power steering do not work at all, need pull over restart several times, then drive a while this happen again. This happened several times in the past years. I got recall 14350 and the dealer fixed the key ring, I thought the power off problem is gone, but it happened again, this may cause crash and serious injury. I don't know what I can do for this, I cannot afford new car and definitely will not sold this defect car to anyone else.

After rounding a curve and seeing a deer and thinking how lucky I was that it didn't jump out in front of me, my engine died and I lost control of the vehicle. It went off into the drivers side ditch and hit a field driveway culvert with the divers side tire, which ultimately bent the frame and totaled my car. . However, the airbags did deploy and I had only a minor injury. My elbow went through a drivers side air vent. Since my car is totaled and the recall sounds like it was the cause, can I get my car fixed or some kind of compensation? I had a lot of keys on my car ring as a work for the city.

The ignition switch -- which was replaced in 2012 with a new gm dealer part -- turns by itself to the acc setting while driving (engine cuts out and power steering loses power). I suspect that this is related to the gm ignition switch recall problem, but since this model is not on the recall list, I am encountering a challenge to get it repaired. Please phone only -- not an e-mail user.

Knee jostled key while driving which turned ignition into off and caused all electrical systems to turn off. Was able to slowly stop car and maneuver safely. Restarted car once stopped.

I ran up a curb to avoid rear-ending a vehicle and a part called the power steering cooler hose (gmpart # 26074657) was damaged, causing the loss of the power steering fluid and therefore the loss of power steering. This part is no longer available from gm, the part is flimsyly installed with retainers that do not secure the hose properly. Over time the hose could dismount from the retainers and anything that hits it could cause a loss of power steering. At the moment an otherwise good vehicle is disabled due to the lack of this part. Can you help?.

When driving my 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue at approximately 45mph I hit a very large pot hole in the street. It jarred the vehicle and switched the ignition in my vehicle off. I lost power in the vehicle and my ability to properly steer the vehicle. I was thankfully in a lane where I was able to pull the vehicle over without issue (power steering was not available and the wheel was almost locked and it required a lot of pulling to be able to pull over) and restart the car. I did have a large/heavy key ring on my keys at that time.

The contact owns a 2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled multiple times intermittently while traveling various speeds. The steering wheel was extremely difficult to handle when attempting to make a left or right turn. The key had to be pushed into the ignition due to the fact that the key was not fully secured into the ignition and was also difficult to insert. The contact had to shake and apply force in order to push the key in the ignition when the vehicle stalled. The service engine sensor light illuminated intermittently on numerous occasions. The vehicle was towed to a repair shop where a mechanic diagnosed that the ignition switch needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 200,000.

On 1/15/2013, I attempted to start my car and nothing happened. I had to have my car towed to firestone, 302 w. Michigan Ave, jackson mi. 49201. (517-782-0361) they diagnosed the problem as a faulty ignition lock cylinder, and it was replaced. They had to reprogram the passlock system, as well as having to recode the ignition cylinder. Mileage was 124,550. My bill was $435. 95. As there was not a recall out at that time, I am requesting reimbursement for a faulty part manufactured by gm/Oldsmobile.

Engine cuts off, no ability to steer or control. Have to turn of key and restart have taken to several auto repair places and they can not find anything to fix. This happen when driving, also when stopped at red light, and it is dangerous to drive, not knowing when it will cut off.

The contact owns a 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue. The contact stated that while driving at any speed, the steering wheel would become difficult to maneuver.

Power steering and rack, ball bearings.

With no reason the engine will cut off, leaving me with no power to steer or move. Have been to numerous repair shops and they can not find the cause. I think it is the electrical switch that needs to be replaced. The cost is approximately $ 500. 00. Will general motors pay for this? should this not be on the recall list? this is highly dangerous as someone could hit me when it stalls.

Father in law went into the hospital and asked us ( daughter and son in -law) to move his car to are house while he was gone. I drove it to our house and had a hard time turning left. I asked my father in-law how long this had been like this and he said about 3 years. I started asking friends and looking on the internet for some advice on why. I found several possible causes and someone suggested that I check for vehicle recalls. I found one that fit perfectly, I called the Oldsmobile 800 number and gave the lady the cars VIN # and she said that although the car was listed the VIN # wasn't included in the recall, but she said I could take it to a gm dealer and they could inspect it to see if it fit the recall and could be added I went to the dealer and they said that the recall didn't apply and there was nothing they could do. So I called Oldsmobile back and they said I was given incorrect information. I went through all the vehicle info again and they said that they couldn't fine the recall at all (I got it off you website recall #03082).

I have a 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue that is having the same problems with power steering loss at low speeds that gm is having with their cobalt and pontiac models. There has been no recall on the Intrigue for this problem. The mechanic can't find what is wrong with it because it does not happen all the time. This has been going on for close to 2 years. The loss of steering occurs more in hot weather.

Steering wheel locked and became hard to turn have had several parts replaced and problem still is happening I have owned the car sense 2007 and have not received any information on recalls or service updates. . . . Turn signals all have functioning lights but front lights will not blink on their own.

: the contact stated on start up, the vehicle sputtered and stalled. While driving 30 mph, the engine overheated, the check oil light and traction control lights illuminated, prior to the engine power failing. The brakes squeaked badly as the brakes were applied. The vehicle was taken to the sales/service dealer for repairs. On the first visit, the thermostat and thermostat housing were replaced. The intermediate shaft assembly was serviced and the oil and filter were replaced. The stalling continued and the vehicle was returned to the sales/service dealer, where the right portioning valve was replaced and the brake lines were bled. The oil and filter were replaced again. The power failed again while traveling 55 mph. After inspection of the vehicle the sales manager informed the contact, the crankshaft position sensor, rear struts and steering gear needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified. Updated 12/3/2006 -.

While turning left across traffic the vehicle seemed to not want to drive forward and then was hit broad side by another vehicle. The airbags did not deploy even though the vehicle was hit firmly around the passenger's side front tire and front fender and hood, the vehicle was a total loss. The steering did not seem to want to work and the seat belts did not lock in place.

1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue developed problems with the power steering gear lower pinion bearing separation. Recall# ea02003. The steering problems did not ocurr until the consumer had taken the vehcile in for recall repairs. When the consumer had picked the vehcile up, she noticed that the steering was extremely stiff and right turns were difficult.

I have previously filed one complaint in regard to this issue with gm corp. I own a 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue, not one that was recalled, however due to the unsafe, eratic, spontanious steering of this vehicle I feel that it should be further investigated. The problem with it is that when I turn my steering wheel to one side or the other all the way, at usually a low speed, it is almost impossible to get the steering system to "turn back", except sometimes, it lashes back around causing my vehicle to go the opposite direction, while turned the other way, the wheel just will not stay at that spot, it comes back around. . . And hard! if it does not exibit either of these two signs, then it makes a horrible sound and is very hard to turn. At normal speeds (on roadways, etc) it is okay, however at slow speeds mostly in parking lots etc. Is when the problems occur. I almost hit a pedestrian in a parking lot the other day, after turning out, and having the steering "whip" back around and the vehicle go the other way. I was able to regain control of my car because as I mentioned, it was at a slow speed. But what about when it happens again? my 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue was not apart of a nation-wide recall of the cars that have the exact same problem!.

Steering problems 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue. Only 60000 kms driven. Continuous problems.

Having difficulty turning left at low speeds, almost feels like steereing will lock up. Taking to mechanic to find out what trouble is. Sounds like same trouble from recalled 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigues.

Clunking in steering wheel, fixed more than once. Was told it was a known problem but would only replace on the third complaint, at which time car was out of warranty. Also headlights will dim and strengthen at night.

While driving it would be hard for the consumer to turn the steering wheel to the left. Recall03v52700 was issued. Mechanic would not repair free of charge because the VIN was not included.

When the consumer made a left turn, it was difficult to steer because the steering wheel became stiff. At the same time vehicle stalled. The dealer was notified. Please provide further information.

There is something wrong with my front end the steering has been giving me problems I'm scared to drive my car. I saw on the news today that there is going to be a recall in Oldsmobile Intrigues up to 1999 but my car is a 2001 and it's been giving me the same problems.

Loss of power steering at low speeds. First trip to dealer was told this is normal. After near crash returned to dealer and they repaired steering. After about one year the problem returned and is again a safety hazard. Particularly bad on slow speed left turns and most especially when vehicle is cold.

1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue steering binds when turning.

Vehicle engine shuts off at speeds between 35-65 mph resulting in loss of steering capabilities. Which is a possible cause of accident on 7/5/03 that resulted in death and injury.

While driving the vehicle lost it's steering power.

The engine will die going down the road at any speed, which is a safty hazard. When engine dies. . . It is very hard too steer and looses braking power. The engine then may not restart for several min. Takes several attempps to get going again. If a person had to get to a hospital on time it could make the differance between life or death. We feel this should be fixed by gm. . . Free. . . And soon!!! thanks john & dawn.

Turning the steering wheel towards the left and steering wheel would lock up, causing the consumer to lose control of vehicle.
