2000 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE Complaints

I BELIEVE THAT I AM EXPERIENCING THE VERY SAME ISSUE AS ADDRESSED IN INVESTIGATION #EA02037. HOWEVER, I HAVE A 2000 OLDS INTRIGUE. I HAVE TRIED CHECKING THE FUSES AND WIRING, BUT RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT BY MOVING THE HAZARD SWITCH, THE BLINKERS START WORKING AGAIN. CURRENTLY I HAVE FLAKY TURN SIGNALS AND WHEN THEY DO WORK, ONLY THE BACK SIGNALS LIGHT AND BLINK, WHILE THE FRONT SIGNAL LIGHT COMES ON, THE FRONT SIGNALS DO NOT BLINK. I HAVE TO "JIGGLE" THE HAZARD SWITCH DAILY AND HAVE HAD NO LUCK FINDING A REPLACEMENT SWITCH. AS OF TODAY, I HAVE NARROWLY AVOIDED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS WHILE TURNING LEFT BECAUSE THE CARS IN FRONT OF ME CANNOT SEE A WORKING SIGNAL. PLEASE ADVISE. *TR

OVER THE LAST 1 1/2 YEARS I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALL FOUR WINDOW REGULATORS ON MY 2000 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE BECAUSE A PLASTIC PART BROKE. THE PART HOLDS THE CABLE THAT MOVES THE WINDOW IN THE DOOR. THESE REPAIRS HAVE COST ME ALMOST $1800. *TR

PASSLOCK PROBLEM, THE CAR WILL NOT START. I WAIT 15 MINUTES AND IT STARTS. THIS IS A RANDOM EVENT AND HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE. WHILE BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, SEVERAL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, INCLUDING THE ANTILOCK BRAKE AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS. CURRENTLY, THE LIGHTS REMAIN ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE HYDRAULIC UNIT FAILED. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED RECALLS ON HER VEHICLE AND DISCOVERED THAT SHE WAS EXPERIENCING THE SAME FAILURES DESCRIBED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 00V114000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS). THE DEALER STATED THAT HER VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL AND SHE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR COSTS. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE SPEED WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,800 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 73,907. UPDATED 07/29/08 *BF UPDATED 007/29/08

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE. THE CONTACT NOTICED A CLICKING NOISE WHEN SHE TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO SEARS AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. SHE THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY ALSO COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. WHILE THE CONTACT'S NEPHEW WAS DRIVING 55 MPH, THE TWO BOLTS IN THE SUBFRAME FELL OUT AND THE MOTOR FELL AGAINST THE FAN. SHE HAD NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO BE INSPECTED AFTER THE LATEST FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 134,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 114,000.

MY COMPLAINT IS THE FRONT STABILIZER BAR FOR MY CAR. I HAVE REPLACED IT ONCE WITH ANOTHER BAR. THIS IS THE THIRD BAR THAT HAS BEEN ON THIS CAR. THE BAR NEEDS TO BE MADE ALOT BETTER THAN IT IS CURRENTLY. I AM TIRED OF REPLACING THE SAME PART? *TR

WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO NOT PARK... HAVE REPAIRED EVERY YEAR SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2001. REPAIR INVOLVED STRAIGHTENING A ROD AT THE WIPER ASSY. JUST THE WIPER BARELY FROZEN TO THE WINDSHIELD WILL CAUSE THE PROBLEM AS WELL AS WIPING WINDSHIELD IN SNOW STORMS. THE WIPERS PARK IN THE UP POSITION, CAUSING A PROBLEM WITH HAVING A CLEAR VIEW FROM THE WINDSHIELD. THIS SITE LISTS MANY INCIDENTS OF THIS SAME PROBLEM. A NEW WIPER ASSY IS THE ONLY FIX AND AT OVER $300 FOR THE PART NOT INCLUDING LABOR, THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE. ESPECIALLY IF THE NEW UNIT HAS THE SAME DESIGN FLAW. THIS IS A CLEAR DANGER.... *TR

I HAVE A 2000 OLDS INTRIGUE THAT IS SHOWING THE SAME SIGNS AS THE RECALL NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER : 03V327000. CAN SOMEONE ADVISE ME AS TO WHETHER IT IS COVERED AS WELL? *TR

I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE AC AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON EVERY SINCE I GOT IT ALSO. I HAVE FIXED EVERYTHING I CAN THINK TO FIX TO GET THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT OFF AND IT STILL IS ON. I HAVE BEEN BACK AND FORTH WITH THE DEALERSHIP THAT I GOT THE CAR FROM THEN THEY STARTED GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND B/C THEY JUST DIDN'T WANT TO FIX IT ANY MORE. THEN I TRIED TO GET IT FIXED WERE I LIVE AND ONE PLACE COULD NOT FIX IT B/C THEY SAID THAT I HAD A LIFE TIME WARRANTY ON IT SO I HAD TO TAKE IT TO A GM DEALER SHIP. THE ORIGINAL COMPANY SAID THAT I DIDN'T HAVE A WARRANTY ON IT AT ONE POINT. SO I TOOK IT TO THE OTHER DEALERSHIP AND THEY FIXED IT ONE DAY , I CAN AND GOT IT A WEEK LATER AND KEEP IN MIND I WAS OUT OF A CAR AND I HAD TO WAIT FOR THEM TO PAY FOR A DAY OR TWO FOR THE RENTAL THEN WHEN I WENT PICK IT UP, IT STILL WAS NOT WORKING AND THEN I TOOK IT BACK TWICE AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS THE CONDENSER. SO I TOOK MY VEHICLE AND TOOK IT TO JUST A REGULAR DEALERSHIP B/C THE AMT TO FIX IT WAS 1100 DOLLARS THERE. HE PUT DYE IN IT AND EVERYTHING AND THREE WKS TO SIX WKS LATER I AM BACK WERE I STARTED B/C IT IS NOT THE CONDENSER. I JUST WANT A TO GET THE AC FIX TO WERE IT WILL WORK AND KEEP WORKING. THIS IS A EVERY SUMMER THING AND IT IS TO HOT IN THE SUMMER PEOPLE DIE. IT IS 107 DEGREES OUT AND I ALREADY AM PAYING DOUBLE FOR A VEHICLE WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO TAKE ANOTHER CAR PAYMENT. I DON'T LIKE TO RECYCLE CARS EVERY THREE YRS. I WANT TO PAY IT OFF AND BE DONE WITH IT. I WANT TO SAVE AND INVEST NOT PAY DEALER SHIPS THE REST OF MY LIFE. PLEASE HELP ME TO GET A RESOLUTION. *TR

MY 2000 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE BEGAN WITH HEATER MALFUNCTIONING DURING JANUARY 2007. THE SEYMOUR, WI. GUSTMAN DEALERSHHIP HANDLED MY COMPLAINTS. GASOLINE WAS FOUND IN THE COOLANT, AND THE RESULTING REPAIR BILL WAS $3025.00 I FEEL THAT THE OLDSMOBILE/GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DEFECT AND OUGHT TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS SINCE IT BECAME KNOWN TO ME THAT THEY ALREADY HAD A REPAIR KIT , WHICH IMPLIED THAT THEY KNEW OF THIS PROBLEM BEFOREHAND.*AK UPDATED 10/15/07.
