2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue GL review from North America
"No wonder Oldsmobile is gone ~ GM to follow given their commitment to quality"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
P.O.S.
Bearings keep going out. They have been replaced twice at only 73k miles, and it costs nearly 1000.00 to replace.
Doors do not seal tightly ~ air seeps in at highway speed and water actually leaks through the rubber seals (one door only).
Molding/dash interior is dry rotting before my eyes at only 3 yrs old.
Button on shifter (transmission) is broken ~ that's something that should have never broken.
Lights will not maintain a luminous output ~ a design problem with the alternator and a smog device so I hear.
For the money, I've been very disappointed in the quality of the car and the concern of the poor quality from GM. And they wonder why they are losing market share.
I have a 1990 Ford Ranger (owned new) that's has 240k and has seen less shop than this GM vehicle. This was my first GM car and it is without a doubt the last GM experience I will every undertake.
