Eight problems related to front seat belt anchorage have been reported for the 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
No summary listed for above vehicle.
The day we picked the car up one of the belts failed. Then again several weeks later. The dealer eventually replaced the right rear belt assembly. Now the left rear has jammed for the second time. This is a serious safety issue (I have four step children) and I am aware that you are investigating. You need to speed this up before a child is injured or killed. There must be a recall right away! doesn't the manufacturer have to replace safety equipment without charge?.
No summary.
1. Rear seat belt sometimes locks and won't pull out 2. Anti-lock brakes make loud ratcheting noise and temporarily activate upon starting car, causing what feels like a temporary lack of braking - dealer has not attempted to fix saying it is normal. 3. Intermediate steering shaft has failed twice causing noticible "clunking" noise - dealer has replaced twice under warranty, who will pay the next time? 4. Left rear window sometimes fails to operate.
There has been about 10 attempts to have steering problem corrected pump & rack has been replaced and still have a problem rear brakes warped dealer refused to fix would do only front defective pitted rotors under warr. Problems reported when first purch. Car steering is a danger wanted to return car too many repairs and not fixed.
Consumer took vehicle to dealer for recall repair 00v-044 of the seat and shoulder belt, the dealer installed the clips at no charge but refused to untwist the seat belt stating the the clip was the only item under recall. Nlm.
I received notice of the defect and contacted my dealer immediately. The rear seat belts are defective in my car. Due to the the seat belt webbing becoming jammed in the retactor, the dealer states they will have to do extra work in order to make the repair. They stated they will charge me $75. 00 an hour for the repair. I strongly disagree with being charged an amount of money to correct a problem that occurred due to the manufacturers defect. Please let me know your thoughts regarding the fee I am to be charged, (my car will be at the dealer 10-11-00) & if you feel charging the consumer a fee to repair their defect is reasonable. Please let me know how tp proceed. Sincerely, ann kerley.
I have spoken the the Oldsmobile district rep. David rickett - they want to continue to replace the defective part. I have asked them to take the car back.
