1) my 1987 delta 88 oldsmobile will not steer left when cold, whichis very dangerous when turning at a busy intersection.2) my brakes have been repaired several times because they keep pulsating.this wears out my tires very fast.3) when first cranked, it will drive for a mile at a medium rate of speed without touching the accelerator because the idle is messed up,even though it has been adjusted.4) the windshield washer has never worked. All these things continually happen the 5 years i've owned it.

When driving along vehicle starts to make a loud noise.it becomes hard to steer and eventually loses control.
The steering problem began in 1993 and got progressively worse.the steering was almost inoperable in cold temperatures at first but became a problem even in warm termperatures.the wheel could not be turned to the left until the car had been running for many minutes.the problem increased and the difficulty in steering to the left occurred while driving the vehicle, even in summer months.it became a hazard.i had it repaired at a cost of $1,200 and the mechanics were familiar with this problem on this year and model vehicle.they also indicated the engine mount appeared to be faulty.minnesota was missed on the recall for this problem and gm has been forced to add this onto a recall list but the oldsmobile 88 delta is not included.your web site indicates over 50 problems with rack and pinion steering for this year and model.there was an obvious failure to warn on the part of gm to drivers of this year and model car.
