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. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A GOOD THING I HAD NOT DRIVEN BECAUSE THE ENTIRE STEERING WAS ABOUT TO GO OUT ON IT WHICH WOULD HAVE MOST LIKELY LEAD TO A WREAK. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT WAS OCCURING ON THE RECALLED 98 MODEL. THE DEALER SERVICE MANAGER REFUSES TO DISCUSS AND WILL NOT GIVE US THE NAME AND NUMBER OF HIS MANAGER. GM HAS SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO SINCE IT HAS ONLY HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING. *AK

THIS PROBLEM RETURNED 3 DAYS BEFORE MIDSHAFT WAS TO BE REPLACED THE 2ND TIME. CALLED DEALERSHIP THAT WAS GOING TO REPLACE SHAFT, AND DECIDED TO HOLD OFF UNTIL WE COULD SETTLE THIS WITH OLDS. OLDS IS NOT TRYING TO RECTIFY EASILY. I AM REPORTING THIS TO BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AT THIS TIME.

This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) notified the agency on July 3, 2014, that they are recalling 5,877,718 model year 2000-2005 Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo, 1997-2003 Chevrolet Malibu, 2004-2005 Malibu Classic, 1999-2004 Oldsmobile Alero, 1998-2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue, 1999-2005 Pontiac Grand Am and 2004-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix vehicles. In these models, the weight on the key ring and/or road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will install two key rings and an insert in the key slot or a cover over the key head on all ignition keys, free of charge. The recall began on September 9, 2014. GM's number for this recall is 14350.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, EQUIPPED WITH SUNVISOR LOCATED AIR BAG LABELS, FAIL TO CONFORM TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLES SAFETY STANDARD NO. 208, "OCCUPANT CRASH PROTECTION." THESE VEHICLES HAVE A MESSAGE AREA LESS THAN 30 CM WHICH DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE STANDARD.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THESE VEHICLES DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE STANDARD.
Remedy: GM WILL MAIL A NEW BILINGUAL AIR BAG LABEL WITH INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. HOWEVER, THE CUSTOMER MAY BRING THE LABEL TO THEIR DEALER FOR INSTALLATION FREE OF CHARGE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN MAY 4, 2001. OWNERS WHO DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE LABEL AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT OLDSMOBILE AT 1-800-442-6537 OR BUICK AT 1-800-521-7300.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES, LIGHT DUTY TRUCKS, SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, AND MINI VANS EQUIPPED WITH TRW SEAT BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLIES. THE BUCKLE BASE OF THESE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES WERE NOT PROPERLY HEAT TREATED AND THEREFORE DO NOT PASS THE LOAD BEARING REQUIREMENT OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 209, "SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH, THE OCCUPANT MAY NOT BE PROPERLY RESTRAINED.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLY DATE CODES AND, IF NECESSARY, WILL REPLACE ANY SAFETY BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLY.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. SOME OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE INTERNAL FLUID LEAKS IN THE BRAKE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: WHEN THE REAR BRAKE PROPORTIONING, ANTILOCK BRAKE, TRACTION CONTROL, OR STABILITY CONTROL FEATURE IS ACTIVATED IN SOME DRIVING SITUATIONS, THE FEATURE MAY NOT PERFORM AS DESIGNED.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE ABS HYDRAULIC MODULATOR UNIT AND IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE HYDRAULIC MODULATOR.
