2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue

ON 1/15/2013, I ATTEMPTED TO START MY CAR AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO FIRESTONE, 302 W. MICHIGAN AVE, JACKSON MI. 49201. (517-782-0361) THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER, AND IT WAS REPLACED. THEY HAD TO REPROGRAM THE PASSLOCK SYSTEM, AS WELL AS HAVING TO RECODE THE IGNITION CYLINDER. MILEAGE WAS 124,550. MY BILL WAS $435.95. AS THERE WAS NOT A RECALL OUT AT THAT TIME, I AM REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT FOR A FAULTY PART MANUFACTURED BY GM/OLDSMOBILE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON TWO OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,300. UPDATED 5/19/15*CN THE RACK AND PINION WAS REPLACED TWICE. UPDATED 06/02/15*JB

WHEN I DROVE ON HIGH WAY OR LOCAL, SUDDENLY THE CAR IS POWER OFF, ENGINE AND POWER STEERING DO NOT WORK AT ALL, NEED PULL OVER RESTART SEVERAL TIMES, THEN DRIVE A WHILE THIS HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST YEARS. I GOT RECALL 14350 AND THE DEALER FIXED THE KEY RING, I THOUGHT THE POWER OFF PROBLEM IS GONE, BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN, THIS MAY CAUSE CRASH AND SERIOUS INJURY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I CAN DO FOR THIS, I CANNOT AFFORD NEW CAR AND DEFINITELY WILL NOT SOLD THIS DEFECT CAR TO ANYONE ELSE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2000 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE AND THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. THE CONTACT CRASHED THE VEHICLE INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE AND A FIRE HYDRANT. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

AFTER ROUNDING A CURVE AND SEEING A DEER AND THINKING HOW LUCKY I WAS THAT IT DIDN'T JUMP OUT IN FRONT OF ME, MY ENGINE DIED AND I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IT WENT OFF INTO THE DRIVERS SIDE DITCH AND HIT A FIELD DRIVEWAY CULVERT WITH THE DIVERS SIDE TIRE, WHICH ULTIMATELY BENT THE FRAME AND TOTALED MY CAR.. HOWEVER, THE AIRBAGS DID DEPLOY AND I HAD ONLY A MINOR INJURY. MY ELBOW WENT THROUGH A DRIVERS SIDE AIR VENT. SINCE MY CAR IS TOTALED AND THE RECALL SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS THE CAUSE, CAN I GET MY CAR FIXED OR SOME KIND OF COMPENSATION? I HAD A LOT OF KEYS ON MY CAR RING AS A WORK FOR THE CITY. *TR

WHILE TURNING LEFT ACROSS TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO NOT WANT TO DRIVE FORWARD AND THEN WAS HIT BROAD SIDE BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS HIT FIRMLY AROUND THE PASSENGER'S SIDE FRONT TIRE AND FRONT FENDER AND HOOD, THE VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS. THE STEERING DID NOT SEEM TO WANT TO WORK AND THE SEAT BELTS DID NOT LOCK IN PLACE. *TR

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
