1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue electrical system problems

“CAR WILL NOT START, NOT TURN OVER OR ANYTHING. SECURITY LIGHT WILL COME ON WHILE DRIVING. NEVER KNOW WHEN THE CAR WILL START. HAVE BEEN TOWED TO MECHANIC 3 TIMES IN 72 HRS. HE HAS CHECKED ALL CONNECTIONS AND ALL ARE GOOD. HE CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG. WILL START A FEW TIMES THEN NOTHING. MECHANIC HAS PUT ON HIS CODE READER AND NOTHING COMES UP. CAR WILL JUST TURN OFF WHENEVER. HAVE READ MANY FORUMS AND TONS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM”

“SPEEDOMETER, TEMPATURE GAGE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE. CAR STILL OVER HEATS AFTER EXTENSIVE REPAIRS. COOLING FANS STAYS ON WHILE OFF. POTENTIAL FIRE BECAUSE OF OIL COMPARTMENT FIRE. VISIBLE LEAK.”

“SIGNAL LIGHTS STARTED CAUSING PROBLEMS APPROX. 5 YEARS AGO. BLOWING BULBS, WORKING SOME TIME BUT NOT ALL THE TIME. BULB SOCKETS OVERHEATING AND MELTING. REPLACED FRONT HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY RIGHT AND LEFT. NOT THE PROBLEM. STILL HAVE SAME PROBLEM. THEY WILL STOP WORKING, ONE SIDE AT THE TIME AND FOR NO RATIONAL REASON WILL START AGAIN AS IF A SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. RUNNING LIGHTS WORK PART OF TIME. WE HAVE REPLACED A TON OF BULBS BUT TO NO AVAIL. CAN SOMEONE ON THIS EARTH PLEASE TELL ME WHERE THE SWITCHES ARE LOCATED IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SO THIS VEHICLE CAN BE REPAIRED. SO FAR, NO LUCK IN THIS EFFORT. MY CAR ONLY HAS 330,000 MILES PLUS AND SO FAR THIS IS ALL THAT IS WRONG.”

“1999 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE IGNITION KEY RECALL NOTICE. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE IGNITION MODULE AND CRANK SENSOR WERE REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES. A RECENT PROBLEM DEVELOPED, WHERE THE CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. THERE WERE OTHER TIMES, WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING, THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD COME ON AND THEN GO OUT. WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS SET, IT WOULD DISENGAGE BY ITSELF AND AIR ONLY BLEW OUT OF THE RIGHT DOUBLE VENT AND THE LEFT DOUBLE VENT BLEW OUT HOT AIR. *JB”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V400000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR REPAIR. THE DEALER STATED THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE DELAY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,000.”

“I'D BEEN NOTICING THAT MY CAR WOULD QUIT AT RANDOM TIMES A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO, AT FIRST ONCE EVERY MONTH OR THREE, THEN GRADUALLY WORKED UP TO MAYBE ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK. WHEN I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE AND TOOK MY KEY OFF MY KEY RING. I HAD NO FURTHER QUITTING INCIDENTS UNTIL I TOOK MY CAR IN TO THE DEALER OCTOBER 31ST. THEY DID THEIR THING WITH MY KEY, AND MY CAR QUIT TEN MINUTES LATER, ON THE WAY TO AN URGENT APPOINTMENT. I GOT IT STARTED AGAIN, THEN IT QUIT AGAIN A COUPLE OF BLOCKS DOWN THE ROAD. I FINALLY MADE IT TO MY APPOINTMENT, 5 MINUTES LATE. I PUT ASIDE THE "NEW" KEY, USED A SPARE FROM THEN ON, AND THE CAR SEEMED FINE OVER THE WEEKEND. BUT ON MONDAY MORNING I DROVE TO THE GYM TO WORK OUT, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START WHEN I FINISHED MY WORKOUT AND I WALKED THE REST OF THE WAY TO WORK. IT STARTED FINE THAT EVENING, THEN AGAIN THIS MORNING, BUT CONKED OUT HALF WAY TO WORK AGAIN. I GOT IT STARTED AGAIN BEFORE IT COASTED TO A STOP, BUT THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS. I THINK THE RECALL IS A FAILURE, AND GM NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING MUCH MORE THAN REPLACING THE KEY HEAD FOR IT TO BE EFFECTIVE. IF I WASN'T A STRONG MAN, I COULD HAVE HAD MANY SERIOUS ACCIDENTS BY NOW. *TR”
