I currently have a 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue that I have taken in for servicing due to sporatic shut offs while driving to the servicing department carmax. I have taken the car in repeatly over the past year and the service department claims there is nothing wrong with the vehicle. This problem is a hazard to myself, my family and others . The cars service engine light does not stay on, the power in the vehicle deminishes at sporatic times turns off locks the front wheels and will turn on once we get the wheels to unlock there is no sign the car is about to turn off. It has turned off on the street , in the expressway and luckily we have not been injured or injured others. The service department is not making an effort to remedy this issue they claim due to the service engine light not turning on there is nothing they can do. I have left the olds at the dealer to have them drive it around until they find the problem. I have gottens calls from the dealer stating there is nothing wrong . Now I need your help what can I do? I am under warranty and this problem is not being resolved .
Computer would not allow car to start. Paint chipping on all fender edges. Constant flat tires, one near wreck on freeway due to leaking rims that mechanic says should never be driven in the winter becasue the rims will not hold up to the weather.
Paint peel on bottom drive and passenger doors, both sides. Contacted gm and asked that I vist the Oldsmobile dealer where I frequent. The dealter indicated that the paint peel is due to no splash guards or mud flaps. Contacted gm customer service and gm sided with the dealer's assessment of the reason for the paint peel. However the dealer is willing to pay for half the cost to repair the paint peel. However it will not guarantee that the repair will prevent the paint peel from occurring in the same locations again. How can the paint peel be due to no splash guards or mud flaps when the 1999 Oldsmobile standard or optional features do no include spash guards or mud flaps.

The piston rod blew a 2. 5 inch hole through the engine casing at 158000 km. We had to completely replace the engine. The engine warning light never came on to warn us that a major part failure was about to take place. The back shoulder belts have never functioned properly. The brakes seem to need frequent replacement due to corosion of parts. Could you please let me know if anyone else has complained about a blown out engine? thank you.
