2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue GL review from North America
"Good"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have a 2001 Olds Intrigue GL, and have had intermittent problems with the headlights flickering (going completely out for 3-4 seconds) including the dash lights. I took it in to my dealership that I purchased it from and they replaced the alternator per Service Bulletin 01-06-03-001A. On my way home from the dealership tonight after having a new alternator put in- it still does it! Only now it's more frequent and happened three times before I got home! This to me is a MAJOR concern! I found on mycarstats. com that this is not a random occurence and it's been happening to other people since they came out in 2001! This is my only problem I have had with this vehicle-I love driving it! (Also I hope this is what will fix it, but I found online that "Headlight problems on the Intrigues are due to wiring that has become dried up and is craking off, thereby creating shorts inside the headlight/turn signal assembly. Repair will require new headlight assembly wiring harness." I am taking that info to my dealership and hopefully that will fix it!!
General comments?
I really like this car, it's comfortable, handles great, so far has been dependable (except for the headlights flickering), it's fun to drive!
