The contact owns a 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue. While driving various speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact stated that NHTSA campaign number: 14v400000 (electrical system) exceeded a reasonable amount of time for repair. The dealer stated the parts were not available. The manufacturer was not made aware of the delay. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 93,000.
Pass lock system started to not work sporadically. From then on it just got worse it would quit at times leaving you stranded for periods.
Engine shuts off while driving.
Signal lights started causing problems approx. 5 years ago. Blowing bulbs, working some time but not all the time. Bulb sockets overheating and melting. Replaced front headlight assembly right and left. Not the problem. Still have same problem. They will stop working, one side at the time and for no rational reason will start again as if a short in the electrical system. Running lights work part of time. We have replaced a ton of bulbs but to no avail. Can someone on this earth please tell me where the switches are located in the electrical system so this vehicle can be repaired. So far, no luck in this effort. My car only has 330,000 miles plus and so far this is all that is wrong.
I have a 1999 Intrigue that periodically does not want to start, I have read so many forums about this problem and I believe gm should recall the cars and fix the problem.
Turn signals are intermittent. Sometimes they do not flash when the turn signal switch is activated. This applies to both left and right. This occurs randomly on different days, not just the single date I was forced to enter.
Blinkers have failed. At first, only the left side would work. Now, both sides have failed. The front and rear bulbs as well as the sockets are functional. The flasher module was replaced, but did not remedy the situation. The hazard flashers work normally, however. Right now, I have no way of alerting other drivers of my intentions. The only way I can signal is by sticking my arm out the wondow.
While driving on icy or slippery roads, the low tracking indicator came on soon after the vehicle lost power. The consumer had to shift the vehicle into park to restart it.
The headlights would dimmed while driving on the highway. Once the consumer had to pull over and stop because the lights had become so dim that she could not see the road. The headlights and interior lights displayed a flickering effect. This typically occurred up to five minutes, then stop and occurs again.
While braking the headlights flickered.
Engine and everything electrical stops instantly. Everything shuts off. During restart the vehicle cranks longer (5-6 seconds) before starting and misses for 3-4 seconds. Then runs strong as if nothing happened. Some times turn signals will stop working after a restart and other times the turn signals will stop working whether the vehicle stalled or not. At higher speeds (45mph +) the vehicle will frequently shut off but instantly come back on.
The fan for the heat and air conditioning keeps failing to work, the front turn signal either burns out in 4 days or won't work at all even with professionally installed all new bulbs. The engine keeps running even when I remove the key from the ignition.
Headlights flicker bright to dim. This happens nearly every time I drive at night. Seems to be worse in cold weather.
While traveling in cold weather, the headlights and dashboard lights kept dimming and returning to normal.
The electrical system (headlights, interior lights, dash lights, fan and tail lights) all flicker on & off often making it hazardous driving.
While driving, dash lights, headlights, and running lamps flicker off and on, possible electrical problem.
All electric will not remain stable. Ie. Lights flicker,radio volume up/down,heat & a/c fan varies by itself. Reported it the first week I bought the car April 29,1999 ( <10 miles on odeometer). Dealer could not see anything. It still has same problem. Continuous. .
