Oh my god everything!
I've taken this junkyard car to the mechanic about 28 times.
It broke down in the middle of the street at 20,000 miles.
Typing its performance in the winter here would be just way too much for you.
Horrible get up and go.
Just one big mistake. I don't have bad driving habits, I took very good care of that lemon. But nothing seemed to work.
Power lock controls stopped working.
It looks nice.
If you're thinking about buying an Intrigue, please do yourself a favor and don't. The car will just put you in a horrible mood.
So... you don't like your Intrigue... Fine, go back to your Toyota and stop complaining alright. My family has been buying Oldsmobiles since 1947 and we don't have any complaints about them except that they are stopping the production! Oh, and for your information, if you drive another Oldsmobile, your opinion would probably change, since they're better than Japanese cars and most American cars (i.e. Ford).
I bought a 2001 Intrigue when one year old with 16,000 miles. Since then I have put to date 11,000 miles on it. It needed to be towed last year due to a short, the brakes needed redone at a warranty job that cost me over $300. When in traction control mode, when the street is slightly icy, the brake pedal will pulsate and will go through intersections at low speed. Dealer said nothing wrong with the car. Warranty just ran out last week. Most current problem: The key would not turn in the ignition. Car had to be towed. Dealer replaced ignition lock at a cost of $ 251 to me.
A real piece of junk. I wonder what's going to go wrong next.
Update on my 2001 Intrigue. At 50K, needed an transmission overhaul, $1,700. The car won't start (no crank) every two weeks or so. Replaced neutral safety switch at $ 200. Still problem persists. Let car sit for a while, and it starts. Dealer looks at me like I'm crazy.
Turn signals quit once in a while, then work again. This car is a piece of junk. I've kept it only because I'm basically a cheapskate and know a new car will cost a bundle and probably cause me just as much grief taking it for warranty service. Plus, after over 40 years of driving American cars, I'll probably buy a foreign car. (Is that the right term now, Foreign?)
I just polished the car this week, and it still looks great. Looks are very deceiving.
