2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue review from North America
"I am very disappointed in this car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The transmission went out completely at approximately 50,000 miles.
Rotors were turned at the time the car was bought.
O2 sensor and crankshaft harness both had to be replaced approximately 65,000 miles.
Fuel Regulator went out at and had to be replaced at approximately 70,000 miles.
At 74,900 miles the engine siezed completely. Needs a new complete engine.
Head lights and dash lights also flicker.
General comments?
This car has been a lemon since the day I bought it (used). I don't suggest anyone buy this make or model from what I understand from a certified GM Mechanic, that the head gasket fails an internal leak of antifreeze into your oil and then into the engine. I had no warning what so ever before the car just quit, the only thing I noticed was it was running just slightly above what it normally runs on the tachometer before it quit. I also found out that Oldsmobile does not stand behind their products.
