Power steering pump has been replaced once for grinding noise. It needs to be replaced again for whining noise and loss of power steering. Since Oldsmobile dealership closed their doors after 36 years the extended warranty I purchased through them is not valid and have to pay for it myself. BBB and state atty general's office were of no help with finding/having delaership honor the warranty.
