2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue Complaint Log

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT THE HEAD LIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY WENT FROM BRIGHT TO DIM. WHEN USING THE HEATER FAN IT WOULD GO FROM HIGH TO LOW OR FROM LOW TO HIGH. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *JB CONSUMER SAID THAT THIS CONDITION HAD OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES DURING COLD WEATHER. ALTERNATOR WAS REDESIGNED BUT DIDN'T CORRECT THE CONDITION BEING EXPERIENCED BY CONSUMER. *LA

2000 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE WITH 54800 MILES- STEERING GEAR HAS BEEN REPLACED 2 TIMES, INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT REPLACED 2 TIMES, LEFT SIDE TIE ROD AND STRUT REPLACED, POWER STEERING PUMP REPLACED. *AK

LIGHTS DIMMING AND FLICKERING, STARTED AT 7,000 MILES. REPAIRED WINDSHIELD WIPER ARM WHICH WAS DISENGAGED FROM WIPER TRANSMISSION @ 29,318 MILES. LIGHTS WENT TOTALLY OFF AT NIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON @ 40,269 MILES. DEALER CHANGED. *AK ALTERNATOR AND MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR. DEALER SAID TO USE AC AIR FILTER INSTEAD OF FRAM AIR FILTER. WIPER ARM BROKE AGAIN @ 43,349 MILES, DEALER REPLACED WIPER TRANSMISSION. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT @ 63,455 MILES. DTC (DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE) INDICATES (MAF) MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR. CODE WAS CLEARED AND THEN CAME BACK ON @ 64,355 MILES. SAME MAF CODE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE CAR WILL HICUP, LIGHTS GO OUT AND ENGINE STALLS FOR A FRACTION OF A SECOND. THIS LAST TIME THE DTC INDICATED THE CAR WAS TRAVELING AT 62 MPH. IN ADDITION, THE FRONT TIRE WORE TO THE CORD IN 38,000 MILES. REAR LEFT TIRE WITH INSIDE TIRE WEAR IN 10,000 MILES. DISCUSSED PROBLEMS WITH FACTORY REP WITH NO RESULTS. CAR APPEARS TO BE A SAFTY PROBLEM.

MY CAR'S ENGINE IS OVERHEATING. I TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY DON'T WANT TO FIX THE CAR. THEY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT UNDER WARRENTY. I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER OLDS DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE GOING TO REPLACE THE THERMOSTAT AND THERMOSTAT HOUSING, BUT THIS IS GOING TO COST ME. THIS CAR IS STILL UNDER IT'S EXTENDED WARRANTY. *AK

STEERING PRODUCES A CLICKING NOISE. CONSUMER IS CONCERNED THAT STEERING WILL FAIL.*AK

TECHNICIAN REPLACED FRONT WHEEL BEARING, ROTORS AND PADS. CONSUMER WAS SURPRISED THAT SHE HAD TO REPLACE THE WHEEL BEARING. *AK

TURN SIGNAL-HAZARD LIGHT FAILURE. *LA

I HAVE A 2000 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE THAT HAS HEADLIGHTS THAT DIM AND FLICKER. IT IS MORE PREVALENT IN COLDER TEMPERATURES. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW AND HAVE NOTICED IT SINCE I PURCHASED IT.*AK

WE HAVE A 2000 OLDS INTRIGUE. WHILE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRENTY WE HAD THE STEERING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT REPLACE AND THE STEERING TIE ROD REPLACED. THE STEERING HAS ALWAYS SEEMED TO BE A PROBLEM. 2000+ MILES AFTER THE WARRENTY WENT OUT THE POWER STEERING RACK WENT OUT WHICH WILL COST APPROXIMATELY $1200. THERE WAS A POP NOISE WHEN I WAS BACKING UP AND FROM THAT POINT THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING FOR LEFT TURNS BUT FOR ONLY RIGHT TURNS. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A GOOD THING I HAD NOT DRIVEN BECAUSE THE ENTIRE STEERING WAS ABOUT TO GO OUT ON IT WHICH WOULD HAVE MOST LIKELY LEAD TO A WREAK. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT WAS OCCURING ON THE RECALLED 98 MODEL. THE DEALER SERVICE MANAGER REFUSES TO DISCUSS AND WILL NOT GIVE US THE NAME AND NUMBER OF HIS MANAGER. GM HAS SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO SINCE IT HAS ONLY HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING. *AK

AS I WAS DRIVING, THE CAR STALLED IN THE TRAFFIC. PASSENGER COMPARTMENT FILLED WITH SMOKE MAKING THE PASSENGERS COUGH. FLOOR GEAR CONSOLE WAS BURNING HOT. FLOOR OF THE CAR WAS EXTREMELY HOT ,FORCING ME TO STOP THE ENGINE AND ABANDON THE CAR FOR FEAR OF EXPLOSION.*AK

WHILE TRAVELING DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER WINDSHIELD WIPERS COME ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY.*AK

INTERIOR OF ALL FOUR OF THE WHEELS FLAKING OFF AND CUTTING THE VALVE STEM OF THE TIRE.*AK

MY 2000 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE WITH THE 3.5L MOTOR OVERHEATED. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MY DEALER AND AFTER A WEEK WAS ADVISED THE MOTOR HAD TO BE REMOVED AND THE HEADS PULLED. APPARENTLY DUE TO THE REACTION BETWEEN THE STEEL HEAD BOLTS AND THE ALUMINUM MOTOR, THE THREADS CORRODED AND GAVE WAY ALLOWING THE HEAD GASKETS TO LEAK. SINCE THE CAR HAD 113,000 MILES ON IT, IT WAS PAST WARRANTY THOUGH I FEEL GM SHOULD HAVE PUT SOME TYPE OF COATING ON THE BOLTS TO KEEP THIS CORROSION FROM OCCURING. COST IN THIS CASE APPROACHED $4,000. *AK

3 PROBLEMS. I THINK THEY ARE ALL ELECTRICALLY RELATED. FIRST, IS ONE THAT HAS BEEN NOTED ON THIS SITE ABOUT THE INTERIOR LIGHTS AND HEADLAMPS DIMMING OCCASIONALLY FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. SECOND IS THE RIGHT FRONT BLINKER DOESN'T ALWAYS BLINK WHEN SIGNALING, IT JUST STAYS ON. AT LEAST THE INTERIOR TURN SIGNAL BLINKS FAST TO INDICATE THAT A PROBLEM EXISTS. LASTLY, THE ENGINE HAS "MISFIRED" ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS NOW CAUSING THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT TO COME ON. NOW, THIS PROBLEM WAS "FIXED" AT THE PLACE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. A CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR WAS REPLACED. FOR 2 MONTHS THIS PROBLEM DIDN'T OCCUR. NOW IT OCCURS MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY. *LA

RIGHT DIRECTIONAL BULB FAILURE. REPLACED. FAILED AGAIN THE NEXT DAY. MECHANIC CHECKED AND IT BEGAN WORKING. NOW FAILED AGAIN. WE ALSO HAVE 1998 OLDS INTRIGUE WITH SAME EXACT PROBLEM. SAME SIDE, SAME SCENARIO... LOCATED IN DIFFERENT STATE CURRENTLY. *NLM

I OWN A 2000 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE AND THE TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS WORK INTERMITTENTLY OR NOT AT ALL. THE MECHANIC COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE LIGHTS WHEN THE CAR WAS PUT ON THE COMPUTER. ACCORDING TO CONSUMER REPORTS, IT LOOKS LIKE THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURED IN THE 2000-2001 OLDSMOBILE ALERO. THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET THE TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS TO WORK AGAIN IS BY PRESSING THE HAZARD WARNING SWITCH TWICE. SOMETIMES THIS WILL MAKE THE TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS WORK FOR A FEW MINUTES OR UP TO A FEW WEEKS. WHAT CAN I DO FROM HERE?*AK

RUN-AWAY IDLE SPEED. PRIOR TO INCIDENT VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN 15 HIGHWAY MILES BEFORE STOPPING AT A STORE - FULLY WARM. UPON RESTART 5 MINUTES LATER, VEHICLE HAD ABNORMALLY HIGH IDLE, 1500 TO 2500 RPM. IDLE DID NOT DROP DURING 6-MILE. *AK DRIVE HOME. HAD TO PUT TRANSMISSION IN "3" OR "2" VERSUS "D", JUST TO TRY AND KEEP VEHICLE SPEED UNDER THE 35 MPH LIMIT ON RESIDENTIAL STREETS. ONCE HOME IN DRIVEWAY, PUT VEHICLE IN PARK - IDLE CLIMBED TO 2600 RPM. SCARY ! AMBIENT WEATHER WAS ABOUT 70 F, WITH CLEAR SKIES. OPENED HOOD NEXT MORNING. THE ACCELERATOR / FOOT-FEED SEEMS TO WORK SMOOTHLY, AND I AND SAW NO OBVIOUS PROBLEM WITH THROTTLE LINKAGE. THE OIL CHANGE "COUNTER" HAD BEEN RE-SET 2 DAYS EARLIER, VIA THE FOOT-FEED. STICKY CABLE??

NAR 05/21/2003 *MR THE CONSUMER REQUEST SERVICE RELATED TO POOR BRAKE PERFORMANCE. DEALER NOTIFIED. *CB

CONSUMER COMPLAINED THAT POWER DOOR WILL ENGAGE BY ITSELF AND CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY. CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO START THE VEHICLE OR EXIT/ENTER THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS CONDITION OCCURRED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED.*AK

HEADLIGHTS DIM ON AND OFF, HEATER FAN GOES ON AND OFF, INTERIOR LIGHTS GO ON AND OFF, TOOK TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD ALTERNATOR VOLTAGE REGULATOR IS BAD. REPLACED ALTERNATOR AND IT FIXED PROBLEM. *JB

HEADLIGHTS AND HEATER/FAN DIM CONSTANTLY. MOST NOTABLE UPON ACCELARATION. TEMP GAUGE ALSO FLUCTUATING FROM NORMAL TO OVER HEAT STATUS.

I BOUGHT THE CAR IN THE SPRING FROM A GM DEALER. NOW, THAT IT'S IN THE WINTER, WHEN IT'S COLD, THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKER BADLY. IT'S DANGEROUS. IT'S TIED TO ENGINE RPM. AT IDLE, THE LIGHTS ARE FINE. AS YOU ACCELERATE THE ENGINE, THE LIGHTS FLICKER DOWN.....THEY GET DIM AND FLASH BACK TO NORMAL. I JUST REPLACED THE BATTERY AND IT MADE NO DIFFERENCE. IT'S GOT TO BE IN THE ALTERNATOR/VOLTAGE REGUALTOR. THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT. THE LIGHTS ARE SUPPOSED TO WORK LIKE THE LIGHTS ON EVERY OTHER CAR.... IT'LL BE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DUPLCATE BECAUSE WHEN THE CAR GETS WARM, THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY.

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT HEADLIGHTS DIM WITHOUT WARNING. DEALERSHIP CONTACTED. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDTIONAL INFORMATION. TS

SEAT BELT DOESN'T LATCH ON DRIVER SIDE OF CAR.

THE BRAKES JUST STOPPED WORKING. WARNING LIGHTS NEVER CAME ON. THE ONLY WAY I COULD STOP WAS TO PUT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON. DT

CONSUMER STATES THAT ALL VEHICLE LIGHTS WILL INTERMITTENLY FLICKER ON/OFF WHILE DRIVING. MANUFACTURER ADVISED CONSUMER THAT PROBLEM IS "NORMAL" OPERATION WITHIN VEHICLE SPECIFICATIONS AND THERE IS NO REMEDY. TS

I HAVE A 2000 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE. SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE HEADKLIGHTS FLICKER. AND, WEHN I SAY FLICKER I MEAN THEY ALMOST GO TOTALLY OUT THEN COME BACK ON. I AHVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. HAVE RAN A COMPUTER SCAN ON IT, WHICH SHOWED NO ERROR CODES, THEY INSISTED THAT IT WAS THE A/C COMPRESSOR KICKING ON. I ADMIT IT IS POSSIBLE, BUT NOT TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS HAPPENING. WHICH, IS CONSTANTLY. AS LONG AS THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON. THERE IS A FLICKER, I CHECKED THE BULBS, THERE IS NO COROSION AROUND THE CONNECTORS, ALL CONNECTIONS ARE TIGHT. I HAVE JOINED AN ONLINE FORUM FOR THE MODEL VEHICLE THAT I HAVE AND ALMOST ALL OF THE OTHER USERS IN THE GROUP HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING. I WOULD LIKE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS AND HAVE NO IDEA WHO TO CONTACT. I HAVE A WIFE AND 2 SMALL CHILDREN, SO, NATURALLY I WANT THE VEHICLE TO BE SAFE. THE DEALER (SIMMONS-ROCKWELL IN HORNELL, N.Y.) OR WWW.SIMMONS-ROCKWELL.COM. THEY INSIST THAT IT IS THE A/C. WELL, IT HAS BEEN BELOW 40 DEGREES PRETTY MUCH EVERYDAY SINCE HALLOWEEN OF THIS YEAR. AND I HAVEN'T EVER TURNED ON THE A/C IN THE CAR NOT ONCE. ANY ASSISTANCE WITH THIS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. AND I KNOW THERE ARE OTHERS OUT THERE LIKE ME THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM BUT, DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. THANK YOU.

POWER STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED AT 26,000 MILES. CURRENTLY, AT 35,000 MILES, THE LOWER STEERING SHAFT MUST BE REPLACED. *AK THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO SNAP AND POP WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL AND OVER SMALL BUMPS. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES, WITH NO ANSWER UNTIL RECENTLY, IN WHICH THE DEALER STATED THE STEERING COLUMN SHOULD BE REPLACED. THE WINDOW MOTOR AND THERMOSTAT FAILED. *JB
