2000 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE. CONSUMER STATES PROBLEM WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND A.I.R. PUMP *TGW 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. *JB

WHILE DRIVING HEADLIGHTS WILL DIM DOWN AND COME BACK UP. ALSO, THIS HAPPENS WITH AIR CONDITIONING, IT WILL SLOW DOWN AND SPEED UP. DIMMING OF THE HEADLIGHTS MAY SEND WRONG SIGNALS TO ANOTHER DRIVER. *AK *SLC

I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR 3 WEEKS BUT I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE LOWER PART OF THE RADIO AND THE FOG LAMP SWITCH GET VERY HOT. PARTICULARLY AT NIGHT. I DID NOTICE THAT THE FOGLAMP SWITCH COOLED OFF A BIT IF I TURNED THE FOG LAMPS ON. THE LOWER PART OF THE RADIO AND THE TOP PART OF THE CLIMATE CONTROLS STAY HOT. THIS COULD BE A HAZARD FOR YOUNG CHILDREN AND POSSIBLY A FIRE HAZARD. THAT'S HOW HOT THE AREA CAN BECOME. THE WIRING IN A VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE GENERATING THAT MUCH HEAT. I HAVE NOT CONTACTED THE DEALER YET. I WILL BE HAVING THE VEHICLE SERVICED IN THE NEXT WEEK OR TWO AND I WILL MENTION IT AT THAT TIME.*AK
This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) notified the agency on July 3, 2014, that they are recalling 5,877,718 model year 2000-2005 Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo, 1997-2003 Chevrolet Malibu, 2004-2005 Malibu Classic, 1999-2004 Oldsmobile Alero, 1998-2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue, 1999-2005 Pontiac Grand Am and 2004-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix vehicles. In these models, the weight on the key ring and/or road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will install two key rings and an insert in the key slot or a cover over the key head on all ignition keys, free of charge. The recall began on September 9, 2014. GM's number for this recall is 14350.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, EQUIPPED WITH SUNVISOR LOCATED AIR BAG LABELS, FAIL TO CONFORM TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLES SAFETY STANDARD NO. 208, "OCCUPANT CRASH PROTECTION." THESE VEHICLES HAVE A MESSAGE AREA LESS THAN 30 CM WHICH DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE STANDARD.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THESE VEHICLES DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE STANDARD.
Remedy: GM WILL MAIL A NEW BILINGUAL AIR BAG LABEL WITH INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. HOWEVER, THE CUSTOMER MAY BRING THE LABEL TO THEIR DEALER FOR INSTALLATION FREE OF CHARGE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN MAY 4, 2001. OWNERS WHO DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE LABEL AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT OLDSMOBILE AT 1-800-442-6537 OR BUICK AT 1-800-521-7300.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES, LIGHT DUTY TRUCKS, SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, AND MINI VANS EQUIPPED WITH TRW SEAT BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLIES. THE BUCKLE BASE OF THESE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES WERE NOT PROPERLY HEAT TREATED AND THEREFORE DO NOT PASS THE LOAD BEARING REQUIREMENT OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 209, "SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH, THE OCCUPANT MAY NOT BE PROPERLY RESTRAINED.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLY DATE CODES AND, IF NECESSARY, WILL REPLACE ANY SAFETY BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLY.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. SOME OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE INTERNAL FLUID LEAKS IN THE BRAKE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: WHEN THE REAR BRAKE PROPORTIONING, ANTILOCK BRAKE, TRACTION CONTROL, OR STABILITY CONTROL FEATURE IS ACTIVATED IN SOME DRIVING SITUATIONS, THE FEATURE MAY NOT PERFORM AS DESIGNED.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE ABS HYDRAULIC MODULATOR UNIT AND IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE HYDRAULIC MODULATOR.
