2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue

CONSUMER WAS BACKING OUT OF THE GARAGE AND THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED. CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO TURN OR MOVE THE VEHICLE. CONSUMER HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE STEERING PUMP/HOUSING SHAFT, AND BOLT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

POWER STEERING FAILURE. WHEN PULLING OUT OF A TIGHT PARKING PLACE THE POWER STEERING STARTED MAKING NOISES. AFTER EXITING THE PARKING PLACE THE POWER STEERING IS SLUGGISH, BUT NOT ALL OF THE TIME. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS SOME TIME YOU CAN TURN WITH NO PROBLEM, OTHER TIME IT TAKES ADDITIONAL EFFORT TO MOVE THE STEERING. YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT!! I SUPPOSE IT COULD TOTALLY FAIL AT ANY TIME ALSO!! THE OLDSMOBILE GARAGE (BURKE) HAS ORDERED A NEW POWER STEERING PUMP AND WILL INSTALL IT NEXT WEEK AT A COST OF FIVE HUNDRED AND NINTH FOUR DOLLARS TO ME. THEY SAY THERE HAVE BEEN NO RECALLS OR SERVICE BULLETINS ON THIS PROBLEM. OLD PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE WHEN REMOVED NEXT WEEK .*AK

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:I HAVE TAKEN MY 2002 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE 3.5 BACK TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES COMPLAINING OF EXHAUST FUMES GETTING INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AND OLDSMOBILE SERVICE KEEPS SAYING THAT THEY DO NOT SEE OR SMELL ANYTHING WRONG. THEY ALSO SAY THAT THE OBD 11 ON BOARD DIAGNOSTICS WOULD TURN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON IF SOMETHING WAS WRONG. I HAVE USED A DIGITAL HOME CARBON MONOXIDE TESTER IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AND IT HAS REGISTERED FROM 7 PPM TO 27 PPM. I DRIVE TO WORK MONDAY THRU FRIDAY FOR ONE HALF HOUR, SEVENTEEN MILES EACH WAY. WHEN I ARRIVE MY ARMS HAVE A PURPLE COLOR. MY VOICE HAS BECOME WEAK. I AM SLURRING MY WORDS. I OPEN THE CAR WINDOWS NO MATTER HOW COLD IN AN EFFORT TO GET FRESH AIR. MY BEHAVIOR HAS BECOME ERRATIC. ON THE WEEKEND I STAY AT HOME TO TIRED TO GET UP AND GO OUT. ON SUNDAY NIGHT I START TO FEEL MY ENERGY RETURN TO THE POINT THAT I FEEL LIKE EXERCISING. MONDAY MORNING I GET UP DREADING THE THOUGHT OF HAVING TO DRIVE TO WORK BECAUSE THE CYCLE WILL START ALL OVER AGAIN. I HAVE GONE AWAY ON VACATION AND USED A RENTAL CAR AND MY ENERGY STARTS TO RETURN. MY OPINION IS THAT MY GM CAR IS CAUSING THESE PROBLEMS. THERE IS A PERSON ON THE WEB WHO IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS I AM. HTTP://WWW.COHEADQUARTERS.COM/COMOTOVEH/COMOTOVEH1.HTM ONE COLD AND RAINY DAY I HAD TO DRIVE ONE HALF HOUR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH THE WINDOWS UP. WHEN I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION I WAS IN A DIZZY STATE OF MIND AND BACKED INTO A LIGHT POLE CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE PLASTIC BUMPER. IS THERE A WAY TO TEST THE AIR QUALITY IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT OF MY CAR TO SEE IF IT IS THE CAUSE OF MY HEALTH PROBLEMS? TOM.*AK

WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE HEADLIGHTS FLASHED OFF AND ON. THE OWNER HAS CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP. *AK PENNSYLVANIA HIGHWAY PATROL STOPPED THE CONSUMER AND ASKED IF THERE WAS PROBLEM SINCE THE HEADLIGHTS WERE FLASHING ON AND OFF. CONSUME STATED WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND WAS ADVISED TO GET THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD. DEALERSHIP WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THEY WERE AWARE OF THE DEFECT AND IT WAS THE AIR PUMP. THEY CONSIDERED THIS NORMAL. *PH *JB

I HAVE A 2002 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE 3.5 WITH 10,000 MILES. WHEN I DRIVE IT I GET SLEEPY, HEADACHES AND MY FACE TURNS RED. I SUSPECT THAT THERE ARE EXHAUST FUMES GETTING INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. THE DEALER DOES NOT SEE ANY PROBLEMS AFTER 2 TIMES IN FOR SERVICE. THEY SAY THAT THEY CANNOT HEAR OR SEE ANY EXHAUST LEAKS. MY FEAR IS THAT I WILL FALL ASLEEP WHILE AT THE WHEEL AND PEOPLE WILL GET HURT. DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEBODY IS HURT?*AK
