1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue review from North America
"This car is speedy and sporty, and has lots of features and designs"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I do not know where to begin with the problems that I have encountered. I bought this car when I joined the Air Force. I am glad to know that I am not the only one in the world that has had these problems!
I attend Georgia Southern University and my car is used to drive back and forth to Atlanta, GA. I can fill up almost 13 gallons, and can ONLY drive 230 miles before my car runs out off gas completely! Let me remind you, when I first purchased it, it did not make it it the whole trip, I had to fill up halfway there. But now it has gotten better.
My SEATBELTS are stuck, twisted, won't re-tract, whatever.
My KNOBS just won't stay on for nothing.
My WINDOWS works when it feels like.
My SEATS hurt my back so bad, I bought a chiropractic pillow ($185.00).
My wonderful CD CHANGER has its own mind (especially when I go over a speed bump).
My STEREO just recently began to do some kind of funny "can't find no signal" stuff.
My WINDOW TRIMMING has basically fallen off.
My WINDOW TINT just won't do right ($280.00). The bubbles, pits, foggy windows, etc.
I can't tell if I should believe those DASHBOARD LIGHTS or not. Everyday a new light pops up.
The BRAKES are constantly being repaired, along with the rotors, and an OIL CHANGE is required every single month.
General comments?
THE LEAK!!! Name the fluid, it's leaking. Outside the car, inside the car, whatever. Anti-freeze, Rain, Water.
The STEERING WHEEL just keeps on vibrating and vibrating and vibrating!!
The WINDSHIELD just likes to get foggy when it rains, no matter what you do.
This car did save my life though. It did eventually stop when I ran into someone. The brakes locked on me, and rolled or skidded into the person in front. But I'm still alive.
There is an AWFUL SMELL from under the hood! Don't know what it is. Maybe anti-freeze, or overheating, who knows?
The car constantly overheats, and I must keep anti-freeze in the trunk and water.
This list is just gonna have TO BE CONTINUED...>>>
