• 12/11/2006· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

  P0410 CODE: HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET THIS VEHICLE INSPECTED IN 2 YEARS. REPLACED A.I.R. PUMP AND ALTERNATOR TO NO AVAIL. CLEARED CODE BUT ALWAYS COMES BACK AFTER 50 MILES OF DRIVING. SEEMS TO BE A FALSE P0410 CODE SINCE PUMP IS ACTUALLY FUNCTIONING AND GOING THROUGH STARTUP TESTS WHEN VEHICLE FIRST STARTED. SKEPTICAL ABOUT TAKING VEHICLE TO GM DEALERSHIPS. THERE'S ALWAYS SEEM TO BE ANOTHER "FAILURE" AFTER YOU DRIVE FROM DEALERSHIPS. *JB

• 12/04/2004· POWER TRAIN

  HESTITANT TO SHIFT FROM LOW GEAR. KNOW DESIGN PROBLEM WITH MATERIAL (ALUMINUM) OF THE VALVE BODY WEARING OUT AND THEY USE SW TO CORRECT FOR WEAR AND TEAR THEN COME STO THE POINT WERE THE SW CANNOT COMPENSTATE FOR THE POIL BYPASSING THE VALVE ANY MORE RESULTING IN MULTIPLE INTERNAL FAILURES OF CLECUTHES AND CARRIAGE ASSEMBY WITH CRACKED AND BROKEN PARTS. THE MANUFACTURE ONLY WANTED TO REPALCE THE TRANSMISSION WITH A REBUIT UNIT WITHTHE SAME COMPONENTS AS THE ORIGINAL SETTING UP ANOTHER FAILURE. LUCKY THE PROBLEM DID NOT CASUE AN ACCIDENT AS IF THE PARTS LET LOSE ANY MORE IT WOULD HAVE JAMMED UP WHILE DRIVING. I AM HAVING A INDEPENDAT REBUILDNGOF THE UNIT WITH UPGRADED PARTS.*AK

• 12/02/2015· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  TAKATA RECALL- WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION IT WILL SIMPLY STOP, NOTHING WILL WORK. IT MUST BE RESTARTED TO RESUME AND CONTINUE. IT MAY NOT DRIVE FOR LONG THOUGH. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS .AT TIMES THE POWER WILL SHUT OFF MOMENTARILY BUT THE CAR WILL CONTINUE DRIVING. THE LIGHTS WILL DIM WHILE DRIVING, ALSO. ON ONE OCCASION THE CAR WOULD NOT START UNTIL THE THIRD CRANK OF THE KEY. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON BUSY STREETS WITH MY NEW 17 YEAR OLD DRIVER AT THE WHEEL. I WILL BE CALLING A DEALER SOON. THEY HAVE TO FEEL SOME RESPONSIBILITY. I PRAY NO ONE GETS HURT DUE TO THIS ISSUE.

• 12/02/2002· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS FLICKER AND SOMETIMES GO OUT FOR 1 SEC OR MORE. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFTY ISSUE. WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE ALTERNATOR HAS BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES. THE DEALER IS AWARE OF SERVICE BULLETIN 01-06-03-001A THAT WAS ISSUED BY GM FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. DOES SOMEONE NEED TO BE KILLED BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE. THIS IS CLEARLY A DESIGN FLAW THAT SHOUD BE CORRECTED BY GM. DT

  TRANSMISSION FAILURE. *AK

• 11/27/2006· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  TURN SIGNAL FAILURE ON A DAILY BASIS. I DRIVE ON A HIGHWAY 80 MILES A DAY. THE TURN SIGNALS MAY BLINK RAPIDLY, NORMALLY, OR NOT WORK AT ALL. THIS CAN ALL OCCUR WITHIN A FEW MILES. HOWEVER, WHEN I TOOK THEM TO A REPAIR SHOP, THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE AIR PUMP THAT PUMPS AIR INTO THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM TWICE, AND IT IS STILL HAVING PROBLEMS. THE CAR RUNS FINE, BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON ALL THE TIME. I ALSO HAVE THE PROBLEM WITH THE DIMMING LIGHTS WHICH IS CAUSED BY THE AIR PUMP SWITCHING ON AND OFF. *NM

THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,854.

• 11/13/2015· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING,ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)

  IN THE PAST FEW YEARS, MY 2001 OLDS INTRIGUE HAS BEEN HAVING NUMEROUS ISSUES. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT IT MAY JUST BE MY CAR, BUT AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, I'M FINDING THAT ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE ALSO HAPPENING TO MANY OTHERS. THE FIRST THING THAT I NOTICED WAS THE RANDOM DIMMING OF MY HEADLIGHTS WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE CHECKED MY LIGHTS, BATTERY CABLES, AND ALTERNATOR. ALL ARE FINE. THE NEXT ISSUE IS THAT MY BLINKERS SOMETIMES WORK AND SOMETIMES DON'T. THIS IS VERY DISCONCERTING AND MOST DANGEROUS WHEN TAKING MY CHILD TO AND FROM SCHOOL, WHEN STREETS ARE BUSY AND SIGNALS ARE NECESSARY! THIRDLY, ABOUT 3/4 OF THE TIME WHILE STOPPED, MY CAR IDLES VERY HIGH! I ASSUME THIS MAY BE DUE TO THE FACT THAT MY TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE ENGINE SOON, AND SERVICE VEHICLE SOON LIGHTS ARE ALL ON. ALL HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT IT'S A WIRING ISSUE THAT IS COMMON IN INTRIGUES. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, IT HAS BECOME A RATHER CONSISTANT PROBLEM THAT MY CAR DOESN'T WANT TO START. SOMETIMES IT STARTS UP JUST FINE, BUT USUSALLY I HAVE TO TRY 2-4 TIMES. I TURN OFF ALL ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS UNDER MY CONTROL, IN MY CAR PRIOR STARTING, BUT IT DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE. AS MY RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THIS MAY BE DUE TO A FAULTY IGNITON SWITCH. MANY OTHER GM MAKES AND MODELS HAVE HAD RECALLS AND COMPLAINTS ON ALL OF THESE ISSUES, YET NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE FOR THIS PARTICULAR MODEL. SAFETY SHOULD BE THE NUMBER ONE CONCERN HERE, BUT OBVIOUSLY IT IS NOT. WHY DO SOME CARS GET RECALLS AND OTHERS NOT, WHEN THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME PARTS USED? IT DOESN'T QUITE ADD UP. PLEASE GM, TAKE CARE OF YOUR CARS AND DRIVERS, AND MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE IN YOUR HANDS IS SAFE ON THE ROAD!! THAT IS AFTERALL, YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!!!!

• 11/13/2008· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  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.

  HEADLIGHTS FLICKERED OFF AND ON, WOULD NOT STAY ON AT NIGHT. HAD AT LEAST ONE FLASH (OFF THEN ON WITHIN ONE SECOND PERIOD) EVERY TIME I DROVE IN THE DARK. ONE TIME IT FLASHED CONTINUOUSLY. AFFECTED ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. I NOTIFIED DEALER AND ALSO CALLED OLDSMOBILE.

• 10/27/2005· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  FAILURE OF THE TURN SIGNALS AND HAZARD LIGHTS TO WORK. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE CAR FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND UPON TAKING TO A DEALER THEY STATE THAT MY CAR IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. IT WAS MADE WITHIN THE MONTHS OF THE RECALL HOWEVER THEY STATE IT IS ONLY UP TO THE VINS ENDING IN 3000 BUT MINE IS LIKE 3684. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 03V327000 THIS IS A VERY LARGE PROBLEM AND HASSLE SINCE THE TURN SIGNALS SOMETIMES WORK AND SOMETIMES DON'T. THEY USUALLY DON'T BUT ONCE IN A WHILE THEY DO. I AM AFRAID TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THEM. *JB

• 10/19/2005· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  STARTING IN SEPTEMBER, OUR 2001 INTRIGUE DIED WHEN TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC. COULD NOT JUMP - TOWED, DEALER SAID NEEDED NEW BATTERY. WHEN MY SON WAS RUNNING ERRANDS LATER THAT DAY, HE PULLED OUT AND CAR DIED (ALMOST HIT BY TRUCK) - GOT STARTED; HEADED HOME WITH LIGHTS DIMMING, POWER STEERING GOING OUT. TOOK BACK IN - NEW ALTERNATOR. PICKED UP - SAME PROBLEM WITHIN 1-2 DAYS - WIRING PROBLEM. IT IS NOW IN FOR ITS SEVENTH TIME AND STILL NOT RIGHT! IT IS UNRELIABLE AND UNSAFE. REPAIR PLACE HAS EVEN TAKEN IT TO THE GM OLDS SERVICE SHOP THE LAST 3 TIMES. THEY SAID WIRING HAD BROKEN - HAD BEEN FIXED BEFORE - NOT SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.*JB

• 10/10/2006· TIRES

  POTENTIAL FOR FAILURE: ON AUG 15, 2006, I PURCHASED A SET OF 4 GOODYEAR WEATHER HANDLER TIRES FROM A NATIONAL CHAIN STORE. ON EXAMINING THESE TIRES, I SAW THAT 3 WERE MADE IN 2006 AND 1 IN 2004. (DATE CODES: MDXO WKHR 2806 - 2; MDXO WKHR 2106 - 1; AND MKXO WKHR 4304.) THE RUBBER ON THE 2004 TIRE DOES NOT FEEL AS "LIVE" AS THE RUBBER ON THE 2006 TIRES. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL ADVERSELY AFFECT THE HANDLING AND TRACTION BALANCE OF THE CAR. THE 2004 TIRE IS ALREADY 40% INTO THE AGING CYCLE. I HAVE REQUESTED THE STORE TO REPLACE THE 2004 TIRE--FOR THE REASONS GIVEN HERE. THEY ARE NOT RESPONDING TO MY REQUEST. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT GUIDELINES THE NHTSA HAS ( OR RECOMMENDS ) FOR A SITUATION LIKE THIS--WHERE THE TIRES IN THE REPLACEMENT SET ARE NOT OF THE SAME AGE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER. *JB

• 10/03/2006· POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING,STRUCTURE,INTERIOR LIGHTING

  1. LOOSE DASHBOARD CAUSING PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG TO RATTLE AND THE COVER TO LIFT ABOVE THE DASHBOARD. THIS COULD LEAD TO DEPLOYMENT AT ANYTIME OF THE AIRBAG. 2. TURNING SIGNAL FAILS TO BLINK ON EXTERIOR LIGHTS WHEN ENGAGED, USUALLY ABOUT TWICE A DAY. THIS COULD LEAD TO ME GETTING A TICKET OR INTO AN ACCIDENT IN WHICH CASE THE AIRBAG WOULD STILL BE AN ISSUE. 3. HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS FLICKER AND DIM AT NIGHT. 4. THE TRANSMISSION JUMPS AT CERTAIN TIMES, USUALLY WHEN THE CAR IS JUST STARTED AND INSTANTLY PUT INTO GEAR. THERE HAS BEEN NO ACTION TO FIX THE AIR BAG, LIGHTS OR TRANSMISSION. THE TURNING SIGNAL, HOWEVER, I HAVE CHECKED THE WIRING FOR BURNS AND OTHER PROBLEMS BUT HAVE FOUND NONE. *NM

• 10/01/2014· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,620.

• 10/01/2006· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR THE TURN SIGNALS WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY. SOME TIMES THEY WILL FLASH RAPIDLY LIKE I NEED TO REPLACE A BULB. HOWEVER, MORE AND MORE THEY JUST DON'T WORK AT ALL. THEY WILL WORK MOST OF THE TIME WHEN I FIRST TURN ON THE CAR IN THE MORNING, AFTER THAT IT IS HIT OR MISS. THEY USE TO WORK MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, AND NOW THEY WORK LESS THAN THEY DON'T. I HAVE TAKEN IT FOR SERVICE AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. I HAVE CLEANED/REPLACED THE FUSE (NO.8) IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND CLEANED THE TERMINAL. I HAVE REPLACED EVERY BULB. I HAD A '99 OLDS DELTA 88 THAT DID THE SAME THING BEFORE I TRADED IT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IF TURNING IN FRONT OF ANOTHER CAR AT A STOP SIGN. I HAVE TO USE HAND SIGNALS AND MANY YOUNGER DRIVERS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY MEAN. THIS IS A FAMILY OWNED VEHICLE. I PURCHASED IT FROM MY MOTHER AFTER DRIVING IT FOR ABOUT A YEAR. SHE PURCHASED IT NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP. *NM

WE HAVE HAD ROTORS REPLACED, TIE RODS, BRAKE PADS, STILL NOTHING WORKS THE DEALER TELLS ME THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THESE ITEMS.

• 09/15/2008· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  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

• 09/14/2002· POWER TRAIN

  STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION WHEN I PRESSED THE AND ACCELLERATOR, THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION DID NOT RESPOND. THEN IT LURCHED AS IF THE GEAR FINALLY CAUGHT. WITHIN 2 MINUTES AFTER THE FIRST SIGN OF THIS, I STOPPED IN A PARKING LOT AND TRIED TO REVERSE AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT MOVE. AGAIN, IT LURCHED AFTER A SECOND OR TWO. ALSO, WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE, IT MADE A CRUNCHING SOUND AND NOW THE ENGINE RATTLES. NLM

• 09/06/2009· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  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

• 08/31/2003· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

• 08/25/2005· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  HEADLIGHT PROBLEMS ON INTRIGUES ARE DUE TO WIRING THAT HAS BECOME DRIED UP AND IS CRACKING OFF THEREBY CREATING SHORTS INSIDE THE HEADLIGHT/TURN SIGNAL ASSEMBLY. REPAIR WILL REQUIRE NEW HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY WIRING HARNESS.
