1 Automatic Transmission problem of the 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue

Failure Date: 05/27/2010

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.

4 Automatic Transmission problem of the 2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue

Failure Date: 01/20/2007

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.

6 Automatic Transmission problem of the 2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue

Failure Date: 08/01/2006

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.

7 Automatic Transmission problem of the 2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue

Failure Date: 12/03/2004

Hestitant to shift from low gear. Know design problem with material (aluminum) of the valve body wearing out and they use sw to correct for wear and tear then come sto the point were the sw cannot compenstate for the poil bypassing the valve any more resulting in multiple internal failures of clecuthes and carriage assemby with cracked and broken parts. The manufacture only wanted to repalce the transmission with a rebuit unit withthe same components as the original setting up another failure. Lucky the problem did not casue an accident as if the parts let lose any more it would have jammed up while driving. I am having a independat rebuildngof the unit with upgraded parts.

17 Automatic Transmission problem of the 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue

Failure Date: 02/11/2001

Windshield wipers stopped while driving due to ice and snow. The "transmission assembly" unhooked due to this. An extreme safety hazard existed because of inability to clear windshield while driving. This happened again 2-27-01. There must be a design flaw but gm will not do anything to prevent it they will just repair it when it happens. A second dealer said they are getting 5-6 a week with this problem ( this was dave cross motors 816-524-2233 . I cannot drive this car in snow or freezing rain without fear of the wipers stopping and causing a potentially fatal accident but gm doesnt feel it is a problem "just clear the snow and ice away and it wont happen". I want them to design something to prevent this from happening not merely fix it when it happens. I also wanted this to be on file for others who may have these cars to prevent them from having an accident . Thank you for investigating this design flaw.
