2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue

I BOUGHT THE CAR IN THE SPRING FROM A GM DEALER. NOW, THAT IT'S IN THE WINTER, WHEN IT'S COLD, THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKER BADLY. IT'S DANGEROUS. IT'S TIED TO ENGINE RPM. AT IDLE, THE LIGHTS ARE FINE. AS YOU ACCELERATE THE ENGINE, THE LIGHTS FLICKER DOWN.....THEY GET DIM AND FLASH BACK TO NORMAL. I JUST REPLACED THE BATTERY AND IT MADE NO DIFFERENCE. IT'S GOT TO BE IN THE ALTERNATOR/VOLTAGE REGUALTOR. THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT. THE LIGHTS ARE SUPPOSED TO WORK LIKE THE LIGHTS ON EVERY OTHER CAR.... IT'LL BE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DUPLCATE BECAUSE WHEN THE CAR GETS WARM, THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY.

BOUGHT CAR OCT 2000 AS A USED AUTO. IMMEDIATELY HAD PROBLEMS WITH IT. HAS BEEN IN SHOP FOR EACH OF THESE 4-5 TIMES AT LEAST. IT HAS A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING SYSTEM. MIDSHAFT WAS REPLACED, BUT IT RETURNED. OLDS DID SAY THEY WOULD ATTEMPT TO FIX THIS. ORDERED A NEW INTERMEDIATE SHAFT, BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND WHAT WAS ACTUALLY CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. BEEN ALSO IN SHOP FOR LIGHTS FLICKERING, HEATER SURGING, TEMP GAUGE RUNNING HOT. ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED AFTER A 3 WEEK STAY AT THE DEALER. THIS PROBLEM RETURNED 3 DAYS BEFORE MIDSHAFT WAS TO BE REPLACED THE 2ND TIME. CALLED DEALERSHIP THAT WAS GOING TO REPLACE SHAFT, AND DECIDED TO HOLD OFF UNTIL WE COULD SETTLE THIS WITH OLDS. OLDS IS NOT TRYING TO RECTIFY EASILY. I AM REPORTING THIS TO BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AT THIS TIME.

I HAVE A 2000 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE. SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE HEADKLIGHTS FLICKER. AND, WEHN I SAY FLICKER I MEAN THEY ALMOST GO TOTALLY OUT THEN COME BACK ON. I AHVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. HAVE RAN A COMPUTER SCAN ON IT, WHICH SHOWED NO ERROR CODES, THEY INSISTED THAT IT WAS THE A/C COMPRESSOR KICKING ON. I ADMIT IT IS POSSIBLE, BUT NOT TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS HAPPENING. WHICH, IS CONSTANTLY. AS LONG AS THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON. THERE IS A FLICKER, I CHECKED THE BULBS, THERE IS NO COROSION AROUND THE CONNECTORS, ALL CONNECTIONS ARE TIGHT. I HAVE JOINED AN ONLINE FORUM FOR THE MODEL VEHICLE THAT I HAVE AND ALMOST ALL OF THE OTHER USERS IN THE GROUP HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING. I WOULD LIKE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS AND HAVE NO IDEA WHO TO CONTACT. I HAVE A WIFE AND 2 SMALL CHILDREN, SO, NATURALLY I WANT THE VEHICLE TO BE SAFE. THE DEALER (SIMMONS-ROCKWELL IN HORNELL, N.Y.) OR WWW.SIMMONS-ROCKWELL.COM. THEY INSIST THAT IT IS THE A/C. WELL, IT HAS BEEN BELOW 40 DEGREES PRETTY MUCH EVERYDAY SINCE HALLOWEEN OF THIS YEAR. AND I HAVEN'T EVER TURNED ON THE A/C IN THE CAR NOT ONCE. ANY ASSISTANCE WITH THIS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. AND I KNOW THERE ARE OTHERS OUT THERE LIKE ME THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM BUT, DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. THANK YOU.
