1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue GL review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Car started hard, idled rough or stalled at low speed. Crankshaft sensor was replaced by dealer at 64,000 miles, but car still idles rough.
Passenger power window is sticking sometimes. Passenger door trim keeps coming off. Dealer replaced clips on trim but it still comes off. I am ready to Krazy glue it on permanently.
Radio amplifier went out at 55,000 miles.
Car uses 1 Qt. of oil every 1,000 miles. I thought it was just a problem with our car, but after reading reviews, I am not going crazy.
When under sharp turning conditions there is a clunking noise coming from the front end, I'm waiting for the wheel or something else to come off.
General comments?
Overall I love this cars great looks, handling and acceleration. Great Bose sound system.
