While driving 15 mph driver was unable to turn left. Vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that rack and pinion needed to be replaced.

I have noticed a "pulsation" in my steering, especially as I initiate a turn. Am told by the dealer I need a new steering rack. I can't believe a steering rack has failed at 93000 miles of predominately highway driving.

Power steering rack failed internally.

Engine/transmission whine reported to dealer at 31360 miles (dealer could not duplicate). Transmission failed at 40976 miles (engine revs rose and car slowed - on interstate at 65 mph), transaxle replaced and whine no longer present. Even out of warranty, Oldsmobile paid hafl of the $2800. 00 bill, but feel that failure at this mileage is totally unacceptable.

Clunk in steering fixed by replacement of steering rack and interim shaft.

This car has had thirteen garage visits under warranty so far to either diagnose problems or correct problems. Tomorrow, it will have the intermediate steering shaft replaced for the second time by holmes Oldsmobile to correct a popping sensation in the steering. Other repairs in this regard have been replacement of the control arms and the steering rack. The front brake rotors first warped last year and were turned on 08/19/98; they warped again and were replaced on 12/10/98. On 6/11/99, this second set for the frontwere turned again along with both rear rotors due to warpage; this is grossly excessive. I understand that Oldsmobile has discontinued these brakes as an option (labelled "autobahn" ) because of quality problems. Please investigate this situation for me as both the steering and brakes evidence of durability problems do not instill confidence.
