PARKED CAR AT WORK, SAT FOR 7 HOURS, WOULD NOT START AT END OF SHIFT. ACTED LIKE DEAD BATTERY BUT WITH NO CLICK. JUMP STARTED, WHILE DRIVING NOTICED THE FOLLOWING NOT WORKING: SPEEDOMETER, ODOMETER, TRIP MILEAGE, FUEL GAGE, DASH LIGHTS, TACHOMETER, OTHER WARNING LIGHTS LIT UP. PARKED AT HOME, SHUT ENGINE DOWN, RESTARTED, ALL AREAS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. LEFT OVER NIGHT, NEXT MORNING SAME PROBLEMS WITH EXCEPTION DASH LIGHTS CAME ON. ALL LIGHTS DIM WHEN IGNITION IS ENGAGED.

OWNER NOTICED CAR WAS GOING THREW OIL. AT FIRST NO LEAK WAS FOUND AND OWNER THOUGHT THE VEHICLE WAS BURNING IT INTERNALLY. BROUGHT CAR IN FOR A DIAGNOSIS FOR ANOTHER ISSUE THAT WAS OCCURRING AT THE TIME AND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM THE REAR MANIFOLD. TOOK A LOOK AND IT TURNS OUT VALVE COVERS ARE LEAKING. CAR WAS SWITCHED FROM CONVENTIONAL OIL TO SYNTHETICS WHICH HAD MADE IT MORE NOTICEABLE. EARLIER OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE MODELS HAVE A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE BUT NOT WITH THE 2002 MODELS. THE RECALL NUMBER IS 09V116000. VEHICLE HAS HAD NO LOSS IN PERFORMANCE.

I HAVE A 02 OLDS INTRIGUE AND IT HAS A FLICKERING IN INTENSITY ISSUE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS. THIS IS A DRIVING DISTRACTION NOT JUST FOR ME BUT ANYONE IN FRONT OF ME ...AS THEY MAY FEEL BRIGHTED OR IT MAY DISTRACT THEM AND THEY MAY VERE AWAY FROM ME. I HAVE HAD PEOPLE SLOW DOWN WHEN DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT I WAS SIGNALING THEM WITH MY LIGHTS, ALSO GOD FORBID A COP EVER SEE MY CAR DOING THIS HERE IN MO THEY MAY THINK I'M WARNING OTHERS OF A COP IN THE AREA. I'VE READ UP ON THIS AND GM SAYS ITS NORMAL OPERATION BUT YET MANY OF US OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. THEY PUT OUT DIFFERENT ALTENATORS BUT THE ONLY ONE I'VE READ ABT SUCCESS WITH COST UPWARDS OF $400+ DOLLARS. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE ALTENATOR ISSUE THAT DROPS OUT FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THATS WHAT CAUSES THE PULSING OF LIGHTS. IF I WANTED TO BE IN A DANCE HALL I WOULD GO, MY VISION IS ALREADY COMPROMISED AND THIS IS A SERIOUS DISTRACTION.
