Security light had been coming on and off for a few days. I stopped at a card lock petroleum station for gas I went to start car and nothing,engine didn't even turn over. A local farmer gave me a jump, still nothing. I used his cellphone to call a mechanic friend of mine,he told me it to wait 15 minutes and try again. He said if it still didn't start that I would have to reset it and so I wrote down the instructions said thank you to the gentleman for the use of his phone. I waited still nothing. I performed the procedure turning the ignition on for ten minutes off for 5 seconds and repeat and so on. I live in north dakota this was in January and it was below zero. I put on a pair of insulated overalls and a full length ww ii navy pea coat. I was getting scared, it was now dark and I hadn't seen anyone since the farmer. I was really getting cold, my hands, feet nose and ears were starting to ache a little. I spent another 3. 5 hours trying to start my car. Thank god a couple stopped for gas or I wouldn't have survived . By then I was really worried about my feet I new they were frostbite. I was very lucky I still have all ten toes. When I found out this is a common problem for gm cars and thousands of people have been left stranded and no one has addressed it, I was in was in total disbelief. General motors employees ceo to sales to mr. Goodwrench should be ashamed of their neglect.

My headlights flicker and dim which is dangerous during nigh time driving, so I am unable to drive when its dark out. Also my blinkers work off and on. I feel gm should cover a recall on these problems.

Blinkers on a 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue will quit working intermittently. Temperature and humidity seem to be a factor. Multiple taps on the hazard switch will restart the blinkers temporarily. This to be a known problem in the olds alero of the same period. See NHTSA action number : ea02037.

2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue. Consumer states problem with check engine light and a. I. R. Pump the consumer stated the air conditioner failed and was blowing out hot air on the passenger side and cold air on the drivers' side. The wheels were no good. The plating on the inside would come off and create problems for the tires sealing properly, therefore an uneven wear occurred. The consumer also stated he began to have steering problems, there were several lights coming on the dash and going off, but the dealer was unable to diagnose the problem. The consumer began to investigate and discovered the part that was causing the lights to illuminate was the hydraulic brake modulator which cost $1,000. The transmission would shift hard at times and sometimes whine while driving. The turn signals did not always work or they would shut off while blinking. When the cruise control was activated, and the turn signal or head lights were activated the cruise control would deactivate by itself. The rear passenger window stopped working and the sway bar was cracked. Also, the gas pedal would stick at times. The heated seats were too cool on low and too hot on high.

The 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue randomly does not start and sometimes leaves the family stranded. After 30 minutes or so of waiting, it may start right up. It has taken up to a day to restart. It started within a couple years of purchase, but has getting worse as time goes on. Randomly occurs 1 to 2 times per week. The dealers have not been able to find a problem.

Complete power interruption while driving for just a second, causing all warning lights illuminate. As well as flicker headlights.

I noticed the headlights dimming on their own about a week after I first started driving the vehicle. It occurs intermittently, and very often. I have heard the headlights switching into different modes like this both a night and during the daytime hours. This poses a serious distraction to oncoming traffic on highways and other roads and could confuse other drivers at stop signs. Gm should address this issue immediately; I have seen many other complaints on this very same issue. [note: I believe this issue may also be linked to a serious issue with the turn signal relay system. I have had intermittent blinker issues and failures on both passenger and driver side since 2010, and it does not appear that the replacement of the turn signal relay system solves the problem, it did not for me (filed separate complaint for turn signal issues experienced)].

My rack and pinion went out on car. I was driving and suddenly could not make a left turn. Also my lights on my dash board come and go and my turn signals works when they want to. My head lights dim on and off at night .

Communication failure from main computer causes car to stall and sometimes not even start as well as a/c heater and cruise control works once and a while. Contacted dealer and was told a person from the services dept would call me back. They didn't. Talked to another person and told then about the car stalling and not starting and they told me that it was either the fuel filter or the fuel pump. Replace fuel filter, didn't help checked fuel pump but it was working just fine. The car has stalled out on the highway many times and has but my life as well as my childrens lifes in danger. When it dies the power steering and power brakes do not respond. Just today I had a basic computer scan done which told me the problem. The place that did the test informed me that is the #1 problem with the Oldsmobile from 1997-2001. I was also informed that gm is aware of this problem, but they wont do anything until a death results from it. Gm needs to step up and fix these problems. This is also a problem with the alero's (2000 model).

Headlights and all electrical will dim and fan for heater will slow and the power of the engine will lull for a few seconds does not matter what speed I am going noticeable mostly at night with use of head lights.

While driving down the road at any speed the computer shuts down and the vehicle shuts down completely, when hitting a bump on the road. Provide further details.

While driving headlights dimmed without warning. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem. The fan blower motor also went up and down while the headlight were dimming.

Right directional bulb failure. Replaced. Failed again the next day. Mechanic checked and it began working. Now failed again. We also have 1998 olds Intrigue with same exact problem. Same side, same scenario. . . Located in different state currently.

Headlights and heater/fan dim constantly. Most notable upon accelaration. Temp gauge also fluctuating from normal to over heat status.

Consumer was traveling on highway and without prior notice electrical system went out. Dealership was not able to resolve problem.

Purchased my intrique in October of 1999, at that time I noticed in the evening while drive the outside lights would brighten and dim extensively, where to the fact oncoming drivers would flash their bright lights in my eyes causing me hard time viewing the road, can you imagine what they thought when my lights were doing this to them, and who knows how gright the beam was in their eyes, because it seems as a power surge going on. With no controlof mine. I also notice the blower while on defrost has the same type of surging going on and thats when the lights go with a mind of their own. I brought it back to the dealer they replace my altenator, seemed to help for a while. Now, each year when the weather gets cold and you need the heater on high, for defrost mode the lights and blower will do this again, I have no warrenty left on my vehicle, I have notice just this past week that the low coolant light stays on for longer period of time my engine seeems to be starting harder, but as the car warms up things seem to be better not fine , but better. I am a single person now, I bought a new car so I was safe on the road. I have parents who are physically diabled no and rely on me for various reasons, and that includes using my newer car. I work in a piston plant that makes many gm pistons, so I know how particular car companys, feel about what goes on inside these engines, and I know the effects if we happen to fail to do our quatlity job. So why, what does it have to take before, this problem with the lighting and electricall complaints of this vehicles engine, before some one dies due to the bright lights in the oncoming traffic or with the car aging and who knows what else this could be doing to that computer, with the power surges, before on of us owners loose all power and plows in to a tree, another car, we have no right to go out and kill people in this country, our cars are to to be driven, no at weapon ion the road, with a disaster waiting to happen.

When driving and upon using the headlights, radio gets very hot to the point that one can't touch it. Also, not a change within the passenger compartment temperature when the headlights are on. Consumer has contacted the dealer. Radio replaced, but problem is still occurring.
