WE HAVE AND OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE 2001 WAS PURCHASED IN 2002. IT WAS ONLY USED AS DEALER CAR. SINCE BUYING IT WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH DIMMING HEADLIGHTS INTERMITTENT, TURN SIGNALS WORK WHEN THEY WANT, BRAKES THAT GRIND AND PULSATE, VIBRATION FROM RIGHT FRONT SIDE. WE HAVE HAD ROTORS REPLACED, TIE RODS, BRAKE PADS, STILL NOTHING WORKS THE DEALER TELLS ME THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THESE ITEMS. WE ALSO HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE SECONDARY AIR PUMP WE REPLACED IT NOT A FEW WEEKS LATER IT WENT OUT AGAIN. WE HAVE HAD NO SUCCESS WITH THIS CARS PROBLEMS. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2001 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE USED IN FEBRUARY 2004. AFTER USING THE HAZARD LIGHTS IN AUGUST 2004, THERE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS WITH BOTH THE TURN SIGNALS AND THE HAZARD LIGHTS. THE HAZARD LIGHTS WILL NOT WORK AT ALL ANYMORE WITHOUT CONTINUOUSLY HOLDING THE BUTTON IN MANUALLY. THE TURN SIGNALS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. THEY WILL WORK FINE FOR A WHILE, AND THEN COMPLETELY STOP. THIS OCCURS ON ALMOST A DAILY BASIS. THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT IT IS TO REPEATEDLY PRESS THE HAZARD LIGHT SWITCH OVER AND OVER WHICH CONFUSES OTHER DRIVERS AND TAKES ATTENTION AWAY FROM THE ROAD. THIS IS A MAJOR HAZARD WHEN TRYING TO TURN FROM BUSY STREETS. WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND A NEW HAZARD SWITCH FOR THE VEHICLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE TURN SIGNAL SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, HE NOTICED THAT THE SIGNAL WOULD STOP WORKING OCCASIONALLY. HOWEVER, THE FAILURE IS CURRENTLY MORE PERSISTENT. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 66,116 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE CONTINUOUSLY STALLS AND HESITATES. IN ADDITION, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATORS WOULD ILLUMINATE AT RANDOM. THE VEHICLE FAILED INSPECTION AND THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WAS REPLACED, WHICH HELPED WITH THE STALLING AND HESITATION; HOWEVER, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR WAS STILL ILLUMINATED. DAYS AFTER THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WAS REPLACED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. HOWEVER, ALL OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATORS FLASHED ON AND OFF. AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE, HE HAD IT JUMPSTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN ABLE TO START. WHILE DRIVING HOME, ALL OF THE LIGHTING FLASHED AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER AND POWER STEERING ABILITY. THE CONTACT MANAGED TO PARK THE VEHICLE IN A PARKING LOT AND HAD IT TOWED THE FOLLOWING DAY TO A REPAIR SHOP. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY STILL IN THE SHOP. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RECALLED IN CANADA AND HE BELIEVES THAT IT SHOULD ALSO BE RECALLED IN THE UNITED STATES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 106,000.

MY LEFT AND RIGHT TURN SIGNALS MALFUNCTION. THEY WORK SOMETIMES INTERMITTENTLY AND THEN TOTAL FAILURE. *TR

THE DIRECTIONAL SIGNALS AND OR HAZARD LIGHTS DO NOT WORK. IT IS NOT A CONTINUOUS THING BUT A SPORADIC. I CAN BE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET GO TO TURN ON MY DIRECTIONAL (EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT) AND IT WILL NOT WORK. I CAN THEN GET TO MY NEXT TURN AND THEY MIGHT WORK. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS SPORADICALLY FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW AND CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY KIND OF RECALL FOR THIS. I FOUND A RECALL BACK IN 2003 & 2004 FOR THE OLDSMOBILE ALERO, GRAND AM AND MALIBU, BUT NOT FOR THE OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE. I WAS WONDERING IF THERE ARE OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR THE OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE HAVING THIS FAILURE. THE LAST INCIDENT WAS SEPT. 12, 2008. BEFORE THAT DATE I NEVER KEPT TRACK, BUT NOW AM TIRED OF THE SIGNALS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I WAIT FOR THE DAY THE SIGNALS DO NOT WORK AND CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT BECAUSE SOMEONE THINKS THAT I AM GOING STRAIGHT AT AN INTERSECTION AND AM ACTUALLY INTENDING ON TURNING. *TR
