2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue GLX review from North America
"A great car if problem can be fixed"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have experienced a rubbing noise that issues when I turn the steering wheel at slow speed or when stopped. I took the vehicle to the dealer last July and was told that the steering column needed lubrication. That was done and it still had the problem which then the dealer said he would replace a sensor which controls the precision control (stability) system. That was done and itstill hasnot solved the problem. I suspect that the problem may be with the power steering unit since I noticed that GM will be issuing a recall on 1996-7 Cutless and Regals for a similar problem.
