1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue GL review from North America

"This is the worst car I have ever owned."

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Car stalls while I am driving, if it happens once, it will do it 3 or 4 times in one trip.

ALL emergency lights in the dash stay on; mechanics have not been able to find a reason why.

Headlights dim when accelerating from a dead stop or when rolling up the power windows.

ABS comes on while driving - the pedal will click down so low to the floor I have a hard time sticking my foot under it to pop it back up in case I NEED to stop.

Passenger side power windows work when they want to, mechanics have no explanation for that.

A/C doesn't work on lowest setting, and now it will just not work at all at random times.

Front right turn signal works when it wants to, just not always when I use it.

Power steering pump has been replaced - the hoses that lead into and out of the pump had hundreds of pin holes in them that caused the leak; those parts were 'dealer only' and cost a small fortune.

This car had a VERY serious oil leak when I got it, all of the seals have been replaced and now it only leaks about 1/2 quart of oil a week if I have to drive a lot.

Gas gauge has never worked. I have to fill up every 250 miles, and that's pushing it.

General comments?

Nearly every parts store has made all of these parts "dealer only", which makes repairs even more costly.

It is a 'good looking' car, but it is definitely not up there on my 'reliable' list considering how it stalls out while I am in motion.

I have had this car for over a year now, it's been in and out of repair to figure out what is going on with the emergency lights, brake issue and the stalling and so far no one has been able to definitively say what is wrong with it.
