The contact owns a 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue. While the contact's grandson was driving 15 mph, he applied the brakes. The rod from the brake pedal that connected from the power booster to the master cylinder failed. The purchase date was unknown. The approximate current and failure mileages were 47,000.

: the contact stated on start up, the vehicle sputtered and stalled. While driving 30 mph, the engine overheated, the check oil light and traction control lights illuminated, prior to the engine power failing. The brakes squeaked badly as the brakes were applied. The vehicle was taken to the sales/service dealer for repairs. On the first visit, the thermostat and thermostat housing were replaced. The intermediate shaft assembly was serviced and the oil and filter were replaced. The stalling continued and the vehicle was returned to the sales/service dealer, where the right portioning valve was replaced and the brake lines were bled. The oil and filter were replaced again. The power failed again while traveling 55 mph. After inspection of the vehicle the sales manager informed the contact, the crankshaft position sensor, rear struts and steering gear needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified.

The engine will die going down the road at any speed, which is a safty hazard. When engine dies... it is very hard too steer and looses braking power. The engine then may not restart for several min. Takes several attempps to get going again. If a person had to get to a hospital on time it could make the differance between life or death. We feel this should be fixed by GM...free...and soon!!! thanks john & dawn
