  PURCHASED MY INTRIQUE IN OCTOBER OF 1999, AT THAT TIME I NOTICED IN THE EVENING WHILE DRIVE THE OUTSIDE LIGHTS WOULD BRIGHTEN AND DIM EXTENSIVELY, WHERE TO THE FACT ONCOMING DRIVERS WOULD FLASH THEIR BRIGHT LIGHTS IN MY EYES CAUSING ME HARD TIME VIEWING THE ROAD, CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT THEY THOUGHT WHEN MY LIGHTS WERE DOING THIS TO THEM, AND WHO KNOWS HOW GRIGHT THE BEAM WAS IN THEIR EYES, BECAUSE IT SEEMS AS A POWER SURGE GOING ON. WITH NO CONTROLOF MINE. I ALSO NOTICE THE BLOWER WHILE ON DEFROST HAS THE SAME TYPE OF SURGING GOING ON AND THATS WHEN THE LIGHTS GO WITH A MIND OF THEIR OWN. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER THEY REPLACE MY ALTENATOR, SEEMED TO HELP FOR A WHILE. NOW, EACH YEAR WHEN THE WEATHER GETS COLD AND YOU NEED THE HEATER ON HIGH, FOR DEFROST MODE THE LIGHTS AND BLOWER WILL DO THIS AGAIN, I HAVE NO WARRENTY LEFT ON MY VEHICLE, I HAVE NOTICE JUST THIS PAST WEEK THAT THE LOW COOLANT LIGHT STAYS ON FOR LONGER PERIOD OF TIME MY ENGINE SEEEMS TO BE STARTING HARDER, BUT AS THE CAR WARMS UP THINGS SEEM TO BE BETTER NOT FINE , BUT BETTER. I AM A SINGLE PERSON NOW, I BOUGHT A NEW CAR SO I WAS SAFE ON THE ROAD. I HAVE PARENTS WHO ARE PHYSICALLY DIABLED NO AND RELY ON ME FOR VARIOUS REASONS, AND THAT INCLUDES USING MY NEWER CAR. I WORK IN A PISTON PLANT THAT MAKES MANY GM PISTONS, SO I KNOW HOW PARTICULAR CAR COMPANYS, FEEL ABOUT WHAT GOES ON INSIDE THESE ENGINES, AND I KNOW THE EFFECTS IF WE HAPPEN TO FAIL TO DO OUR QUATLITY JOB. SO WHY, WHAT DOES IT HAVE TO TAKE BEFORE, THIS PROBLEM WITH THE LIGHTING AND ELECTRICALL COMPLAINTS OF THIS VEHICLES ENGINE, BEFORE SOME ONE DIES DUE TO THE BRIGHT LIGHTS IN THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR WITH THE CAR AGING AND WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE THIS COULD BE DOING TO THAT COMPUTER, WITH THE POWER SURGES, BEFORE ON OF US OWNERS LOOSE ALL POWER AND PLOWS IN TO A TREE, ANOTHER CAR, WE HAVE NO RIGHT TO GO OUT AND KILL PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY, OUR CARS ARE TO TO BE DRIVEN, NO AT WEAPON ION THE ROAD, WITH A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN.*AK

  THERE WAS A SLIGHT CLICKING NOISE IN STEERING. *SC THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE RACK AND PINION STEERING ASSEMBLY FAILED AND WAS DIAGNOSED ON 12/01/2004. A CLICKING NOISE WAS HEARD IN THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE AT ZERO MPH OR LOW SPEED WHILE TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS FOUND TO BE EMPTY.

• 12/21/2002· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING,VISIBILITY,SEAT BELTS

  VARIOUS PROBLEMS WITH 2000 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE. THE PCS LIGHT CAME ON, THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT CAME OUT OF THE FLOOR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. DURING A BLIZZARD THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS CEASED. THE CRANK SENSOR WAS FAULTY WHICH RENDERED THE VEHICLE INOPERATIVE. *JB

• 12/20/2001· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  HEADLIGHTS DIM, CAUSING POOR VISION OF THE ROAD AHEAD. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN!!*AK

• 12/14/2000· VISIBILITY

  TO MINIMIZE WINDSHIELD WIPER BREAKAGE MANUFACTURER HAS CONVERTED THE CAR INTO A DEATHTRAP. SNOW AND ICE MUST BE REMOVED FOR PROPER OPERATION OF THE WIPERS. IF WIPER OPERATION IS TESTED TO DETERMINE IF THE WIPERS ARE FREE, AND THIS INDEED NOT THE CASE, A SERIOUS PROBLEM ARISES. THE NUT HOLDING THE WIPER ASSEMBLY LOOSENS VERY READILY UNDER VERY LITTLE STRAIN. AFTER SOME INTERVAL THE DRIVER OPERATING UNDER INCLEMENT CONDITIONS FINDS HE HAS VERY LIMITED OR NO VISIBILITY WHEN THE WIPERS CEASE TO FUNCTION OR FUNCTION ERRATICALLY. IN MY CASE, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE RIGHT WIPER CAME OVER THE LEFT WIPER, PINNING BOTH IN PLACE DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER. UPON CONTACTING THE DEALER I FOUND THIS WAS A VERY COMMON, FREQUENT OCCURENCE VERY FAMILIAR TO THEIR MAINTAINANCE DEPARTMENT. THE WIPERS CAN NOT NORMALLY BE REPAIRED OR RENDERED OPERABLE ON THE SPOT, (WHO CARRIES THE CORRECT SIZE METRIC WRENCH OR IS AWARE OF THE NECESSARY ADJUSTMENT ?). THE OWNERS MANUAL DOES NOT WARN OF THIS DEADLY HAZARD, OR PROVIDE INFORMATION ON REPAIR OR ADJUSTMENT. I DO NOT BELIEVE AN AUTOMOBILE SO EQUIPPED IS SAFE TO DRIVE IN WINTER WHEATHER. NO ACCIDENT OR DAMAGE OCCURRED IN MY CASE. THE POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGE AND DEATH, HOWEVER, SEEM ENORMOUS. *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.
