2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue GL review from North America
"Despite the above problems, I love my Intrigue"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Turning signals only worked intermittently. Had to play around with hazard light to make signals work. This problem only occurred in hot humid weather over the last 2 years. Whenever I brought the car in for this problem, of course, the signal lights would work fine. Eventually melted the hazard switch and both had to be replaced.
Rear wheel bearings wore out at 115,000 kms had to replace both sides.
Problem starting occasionally. Yet battery and alternator both tested out okay.
Brakes have had to have a lot of service.
Driver side window has a stalling problem.
Rain water on floor of passenger side. Only if it rains hard. No problems though with going through a car wash???
Headlights flicker.
General comments?
The most comfortable car I have ever driven.
Great pickup, fantastic passing speed and good mileage.
