from everything i have read, it appears to be a problem with the steering rack. problem is only when turning left. GM issued a recall for cars 97 and older for this problem. I have contacted GM and they have offered to share the cost with me. it is about a $1300 repair.

How did you go about contacting GM? I'm interested in having them share the cost for replacing my steering rack as well.

I know there is a sticker on my rear window that has a number, 1-800-442-OLDS...but that's for roadside assistance, so I'm not sure if they can transfer your call or not.

I also found out contact info for reporting safety defects to GM:

Please call us at 1-800-442-6537, or write:
Oldsmobile Customer Assistance Network16 E. Judson StreetP.O. Box 436006Pontiac, MI 48343-6006Actually, I think that 800# is the same one as above, no?
