2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue from North America
Summary:
Overall great, but needs a lot of electrical help
Faults:
Window regulator went out, replaced went out four months later.
Blinkers quit working, but can get them to work if I mess with the hazard button.
Kept shutting off in the middle of driving on interstate, because battery connection is bad.
Passenger side door sticks.
Buttons on radio and other button continually fall off.
General Comments:
The car drives over all great, but all the electrical problems and minor problems is making me considering selling it.
Since my driver side window will not roll down and my blinkers don't work I can't even use hand signals.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

I own a 2000 Intrigue as well. I had my car for a year in February. The headlights flicker at night no matter how cold or warm out it is. Sometimes I think they are going to go out completely. Then the car got to where it didn't want to start. My husband thought it was a bad battery, so we bought a new battery. That fixed the problem for about 3 weeks. It has started doing it again. Now it's won't hardly start at all. I have had to replace the left blinker switch, it shorted out and melted. The passenger door sticks constantly. My service engine light came on about 2 weeks after I bought it. Now my security light has come on. The low oil light stays on. The oil is fine when we check it. I have taken it back to the dealership several times. They can't seem to find anything wrong. The only thing they told me was it sounded like the brain (main computer) of the car was going out. That cost about $2,000 or more to replace. They also said eventually it wouldn't start at all. I have had several diagnostics test ran. Nothing shows there. I really like the style of the car. But I have put too much money into it, to keep it running. I am considering selling the car myself. I will never, but another GM again. I am very dis pleased with the car.
