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.
I purchased a new 2000 Olds Intrigue in Nov.2000. I am
retired and do not do a lot of driving at this time I have
only 35000km on vehicle and I really love the car so far.
My problem is there is water coming in on the floor on
passenger side of car. I just came from the dealers and
they are unable to find the cause, if anyone had this problem and could help me I would greatly appreciate it.
I have had my 2000 intrigue gl for 2 1/2 years now. I bought the car with a 132,000 miles on it and replaced only battery, front tires, and rear brakes (Pads) since. I know have 168,000 miles and the car still runs like new, although my check engine light was on for 6 months, I just had fixed and that cost me $450.My drivers side power window regulator just went. Word of advise, it is very expensive to replace power window, I had a estimate for $550.I decided to go cheap and by a aftermarket power window from junkyard, what a mistake. SPEND THE MONEY AND GET FROM DEALERSHIP. And yes, after a couple of heavy rainstorms I have found a tremendous amount of water on the floor of the front passengers side. otherwise the car is solid, comfortable and roomy.
Some have said the leaking on the passenger side floor is caused by the air conditioning hose in that area, you might want to take a look at that.
Rubbing sounds have been fixed by some by replacing the factory stock tires with aftermarket tires.
The water is coming from the cabin air filter area that is located under the hood. just under the wiper. It needs to be resealed. Good luck.
My 2000 Olds Intrigue Sterling Edition; trac, psi, brake, and anti lock brake lights all are on. What's the problem?
