2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue Problems

TAKATA RECALL WHILE DRIVING MY LIGHTS WERE DIMMING WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. MY CAR CUT OFF ON ME TWICE. THE FIRST TIME IT CUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND THE SECOND TIME IT CUT OFF WHILE I WAS AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. SOMETIME THE CAR WON'T START. AFTER THE THIRD OR FORTH ATTEMPT THE CAR WILL START. MY GAS PEDAL IS STICKING NOW THIS JUST START HAPPENING. SOMETIMES I HAVE A TIME TRYING TO PUT THE WINDOWS DOWN. I HAVE TO JIGGLE WITH THE SWITCH A FEW TIMES IN ORDER FOR THE WINDOW ON DRIVER SIDE TO GO DOWN. I HAD TWO CRANK SENSORS AND ONE CAM SENSOR PUT ON MY VEHICLE. I AM STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. I HAD THE VEHICLE THOROUGHLY CHECKED BY A MECHANIC AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

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!!!!

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.

TRANSMISSION FAILURE ON CITY STREET

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION 4T65-E HAD TO BE REBUILT WITH ONLY 70K MILES IN 14 YEARS OF VERY MODERATE DRIVING, WHICH AVERAGES OUT 5000 MILES PER YEAR. COST OF REBUILD WAS $1500.00.

CLUNKING NOISE IN STEERING COLUMN; HEADLIGHTS DIM ON A WHIM; BLINKERS WORK WHEN THEY FEEL LIKE IT; HAZARD LIGHTS FAIL INTERMITTENTLY; DRIVER'S ELECTRIC WINDOW LOCKS UP IN THE CLOSED POSITION INTERMITTENTLY AND LAST BE NOT LEAST TRANSMISSION WHINES AND CLUCKS WHEN SHIFTING GEARS--INTERMITTENTLY OF COURSE. ON GOING FOR LAST 3 YEARS. *TR

1) HEADLIGHTS FLICKER ON AND OFF AND CREATE A ROAD HAZARD ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING IN SNOW AND RAIN. ONCOMING TRAFFIC OFTEN FLASH BRIGHT LIGHTS AT YOU BECAUSE THEY FEEL YOU ARE FLASHING AT THEM. 2) STEERING HAS CLUNKING IN IT AND HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES FOR REPAIR. THE DEALERSHIP OFTEN TELLS ME THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG OR CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM THOUGH EVERYONE WHO DRIVES MY CAR OR RIDES IN IT CAN FEEL THE SHAKING IN THE FRONT END AND SEE THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATING. IT STILL HAS THIS PROBLEM AND NOW THAT THE WARRANTY IS OFF I AM EXPECTED TO PAY FOR THE PARTS AND LABOR TO FIX AN ONGOING PROBLEM. I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. IT HAS BECOME A MATTER OF SAFETY TO ME. 3) TRANSMISSION OFTEN HESITATES WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDDLE. I HAD THE CAR CHECKED AND CLEANED AND STILL THE PROBLEM EXISTS. WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP ALL I GET IS "WE CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM" SO THEREFORE IT MUST NOT EXIST. I KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO START HAVING PROBLEMS AS IT GETS A HIGH PITCHED WHINE LIKE WHEN THE STEERING PUMP IS GOING OUT. 4) I AM HAVING PROBLEMS GETTING CAR TO START OR STAY RUNNING. IT ACTS LIKE IT IS NOT GETTING GAS. PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE HAS TAUGHT ME THAT SINCE THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT, IT IS NOT LIKELY TO BE DUPLICATED AT THE DEALERSHIP. THIS HAS STARTED OCCURRING WITH THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. *NM

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES INTERMITTENTLY WHILE TRAVELING VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO HANDLE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN. THE KEY HAD TO BE PUSHED INTO THE IGNITION DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE KEY WAS NOT FULLY SECURED INTO THE IGNITION AND WAS ALSO DIFFICULT TO INSERT. THE CONTACT HAD TO SHAKE AND APPLY FORCE IN ORDER TO PUSH THE KEY IN THE IGNITION WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE SERVICE ENGINE SENSOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE A MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000.

I RAN UP A CURB TO AVOID REAR-ENDING A VEHICLE AND A PART CALLED THE POWER STEERING COOLER HOSE (GMPART # 26074657) WAS DAMAGED, CAUSING THE LOSS OF THE POWER STEERING FLUID AND THEREFORE THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING. THIS PART IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FROM GM, THE PART IS FLIMSYLY INSTALLED WITH RETAINERS THAT DO NOT SECURE THE HOSE PROPERLY. OVER TIME THE HOSE COULD DISMOUNT FROM THE RETAINERS AND ANYTHING THAT HITS IT COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF POWER STEERING. AT THE MOMENT AN OTHERWISE GOOD VEHICLE IS DISABLED DUE TO THE LACK OF THIS PART. CAN YOU HELP? *TR

CLUNKING NOISE IN STEERING COLUMN; HEADLIGHTS DIM ON A WHIM; BLINKERS WORK WHEN THEY FEEL LIKE IT; HAZARD LIGHTS FAIL INTERMITTENTLY; DRIVER'S ELECTRIC WINDOW LOCKS UP IN THE CLOSED POSITION INTERMITTENTLY AND LAST BE NOT LEAST TRANSMISSION WHINES AND CLUCKS WHEN SHIFTING GEARS--INTERMITTENTLY OF COURSE. ON GOING FOR LAST 3 YEARS. *TR

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2001 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STRUCK A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE CONTACT LOST ALL STEERING CONTROL AND CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BACK INJURIES, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE CRASH. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

DRIVING ANYWHERE DAY OR NIGHT AT ANY GIVEN SPEED, RADIO GOES IN AND OUT, TURN SIGNAL WORK ON AND OFF AT RANDOM MOMENTS, HEADLIGHTS WILL DIM FOR NO REASON, INTERIOR DASH LIGHTS DIM FOR NO REASON. ALSO WILL OCCASIONALLY CAUSE CAR TO STALL FOR NO REASON. HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER BY LAW ENFORCEMENT SEVERAL TIMES AND WARNED ABOUT NOT USING TURN SIGNALS WHEN I DID, BUT CAR HAS NEVER WORKED PROPERLY. I INFORM THEM OF THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE REPEATEDLY MADE TO GM TO RESOLVE AND HAVE BEEN REPEATEDLY IGNORED BY GM. I USUALLY AM LET OFF WITH WARNING. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS VERY ISSUE AND YET NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO RESOLVE IT. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND EVENTUALLY WILL LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT DUE TO GM NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR DEFECTS. IT ALSO AFFECTS EXTERIOR LIGHTING. HEATED SEATS BUTTON GOES IN AND OUT WITH THESE SAME PROBLEMS AND AIR BAGS DO NOT WORK AT ALL.

ANTI LOCK BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON. OIL LOW LIGHT CAME ON. TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND SWITCH INOPERATIVE. HEATER/DEFROSTER FAN SWITCH INOPERATIVE. INTERIOR/EXTERIOR AIR SWITCH INOPERABLE. AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. IT WAS RAINING. THE NEXT MORNING WHEN CAR WAS STARTED ALL LIGHTS WERE OFF AND CAR SEEMED OK. MECHANIC USED SCANNER AND FOUND NO ERROR CODES. ON LINE SEARCH INDICATED THAT IS COULD BE DO TO IGNITION SWITCH. THUS, I THINK THE RECALLS FOR THIS SWITCH SHOULD BE EXPANDED. *TR

ONGOING INTERMITTENT FLICKERING/LOSS OF HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS. LOUD VIBRATING SOUND OF BRAKES AT EVERY STARTUP. *JB

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

2001 OLDS INTRIGUE WITH 40,000 MILES JUST SUFFERED IT'S 5TH POWER WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURE. CURRENT FAILURE IS DRIVER'S FRONT, WHICH WAS PREVIOUSLY REPLACED JULY 19, 2006. ALL FOUR WINDOWS HAVE HAD FAILURES AND THEY ARE RARELY USED. *TR

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

THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND ENGINE STALLED AND WAS HARD TO RESTART. IT TURNED OUT TO BE THE CRANK SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. RATHER EARLY FOR THIS SENSOR TO GO!

ROLLOVER ACCIDENT, CAR WAS TOTALED, DRIVER REQUIRED TO BE AIRLIFTED TO THE HOSPITAL. *TR

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.

FRAUDULENT VEHICLE INSPECTION & EMISSIONS DONE ON A REGARDING 2001 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE, PURCHASE DATE, MARCH 17, 2014. I HAVE BEEN BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THEIR APPROVED SHOPS AND MY USUAL MECHANIC TAKING AN EXCESSIVE TIME FROM WORK TO TRY TO GET THE REPAIRS DONE. THE CAR WAS FOUND TO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL DISTRIBUTION, THE FRONT TURN SIGNALS AREN'T FIRING WHICH WILL REQUIRE A REPLACEMENT HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY, AND I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE GAS GAUGE SENSOR MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE OIL LIGHT & CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ARE ALSO ON. ALL THESE THINGS I WAS ASSURED WOULD BE REPAIRED BY [XXX], THE SALESPERSON. HE STATED THE INSPECTION FACILITY, PA STATION ID#[XXX], HAS BEEN SENDING THE VEHICLES TO THEM PARTIALLY INSPECTED AND THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE "INSPECTION" WAS ON 3/4/14,AND I BELIEVE THIS SHOP, AND OTHERS LIKE IT, ARE KNOWINGLY DEFRAUDING CONSUMERS OF THIS ESTABLISHMENT.

COMPUTER, EMISSION AND FUEL THEY SAID IT WAS A EMISSION SENSOR AND IT DOES NOT WORK CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON AFTER 150 MILES, POWER WINDOW ON DRIVER JUST WENT OUT, TRANSMISSION WENT OUT GENERAL MOTORS GOOD FAITH I ONLY PAID $625. SUSPENSION THEY REPLACE BOTH OUTER TIE RODS. HAD TO PAY FOR NEW ALIGNMENT. STEERING NUT WAS FIXED THE DAY I TEST DROVE THE CAR .

THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKERED WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THIS PROBLEMS CAUSED THE CRUISE CONTROL TO DEACTIVATE BY ITSELF WHILE ENGAGED, AND TURNED OFF THE AIR CONDITIONER OR THE HEATER WHEN OPERATING. VEHICLE HAD BEEN TO THE DEALER ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE DEALER REPLACED SEVERAL PARTS, AND PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK
