2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue Steering Problems

“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? …”

“My 2000 olds intirgue's power steering fails only when I turn to the left. I will not drive the car as I think it is dangerous. In reading online, I have discovered that GM recalled this problem on 98 and older cars, but has done nothing for the newer cars although they are aware of the problem. $1300 is a very expensive fix for a car that is not very old and I refuse to pay it.”

“We have a 2000 olds Intrigue. While it was still under warrenty we had the steering intermediate shaft replace and the steering tie rod replaced. The steering has always seemed to be a problem. 2000+ miles after the warrenty went out the power steering rack went out which will cost approximately $1200. There was a pop noise when I was backing up and from that point there was no power steering for left turns but for only right turns. …”

“Can not make a left hand turn smoothly. Turning right is fine but go to make a left hand turn you have to wrestle the steering wheel. There was a recall for theis with the 98 olds Intrigue but no recall for the 2000 model I have the 2000 model and I believe thjere shouold be some kind of recall for this defect the 98 and 2000 models are almost exactly the same. Nothing was doen to rpair this dealers just want yoiu to purchase a new vehilcle. Needs fixed soon could cause very serious accidents while driving possibly even death ....”

“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.”
