2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue Silver Edition review from North America
"Great looking, poor electricals"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Hi.
I own a 2000 Olds Intrigue. I have been reading all the problems, which I also have went through.
The major problems we've had are the blinking dash and headlight syndrome, the body control module quit working, the ABS and traction control module quit working, and now the security system keeps the car from starting the next time you go to start it.
One of the reviews talked about overheating; I had the water pump replaced in the car, and the mechanic put too much gasket glue between the pump and face of the engine block, causing too much space. The pump could not pump enough coolant to keep engine cool at higher rpms.
General comments?
Too bad, this has been a nice car to drive and the ride is great, but way too many electrical problems from a company that builds cars for a living.
