1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue

Defect. General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 1998-1999 Chevrolet Lumina and Oldsmobile Intrigue, 1997-2004 Buick Regal and Pontiac Grand Prix, 2000-2004 Chevrolet Impala, and 1998-2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo vehicles. The affected vehicles were previously repaired under recalls 08V-118, 09V-116, and 15V-201 to address the possibility that engine oil may drip onto the hot exhaust manifold.

Risk. Engine oil that drips onto the hot surface of the exhaust manifold may result in a fire.

Remedy. The remedy applied under recalls 08V-118, 09V-116, and 15V-201 did not adequately remove the safety risk. Under the improved remedy, dealers will replace the engine’s front valve cover and gasket. Vehicles that are covered by recalls 08V-118, 09V-116, or 15V-201 that have not yet received the original remedy will instead receive the improved remedy under the original recall number. The recall began on February 19, 2016. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300, Oldsmobile customer service at 1-800-442-6537 and Pontiac customer service at 1-800-458-8006. GM's number for this recall is 15757. Note: Until the improved remedy has been applied, owners are advised to park their vehicle outside since the fire risk exists even when the vehicle is unattended.

Defect. This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) notified the agency on July 3, 2014, that they are recalling 5,877,718 model year 2000-2005 Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo, 1997-2003 Chevrolet Malibu, 2004-2005 Malibu Classic, 1999-2004 Oldsmobile Alero, 1998-2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue, 1999-2005 Pontiac Grand Am and 2004-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix vehicles. In these models, the weight on the key ring and/or road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.

Risk. If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

Remedy. GM will notify owners, and dealers will install two key rings and an insert in the key slot or a cover over the key head on all ignition keys, free of charge. The recall began on September 9, 2014. GM's number for this recall is 14350.

Defect. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. SOME OF THESE VEHICLES WERE BUILT WITH REAR SEAT SHOULDER BELTS THAT COULD TWIST, ALLOWING THE WEBBING TO BE JAMMED IN THE RETRACTOR. WHEN THE SHOULDER BELT WEBBING BECOMES JAMMED IN THE RETRACTOR, THE SEAT BELT BECOMES UNUSABLE.

Risk. THIS COULD PREVENT A PERSON FROM USING THE SEAT BELT SYSTEM, AND A RISK OF INJURY TO AN UNBELTED PERSON IN A CRASH WOULD BE INCREASED.

Remedy. OWNERS WILL BE MAILED AN OWNER MANUAL'S INSERT WHICH CONTAINS THE APPROPRIATE INFORMATION.

SIGNAL LIGHTS STARTED CAUSING PROBLEMS APPROX. 5 YEARS AGO. BLOWING BULBS, WORKING SOME TIME BUT NOT ALL THE TIME. BULB SOCKETS OVERHEATING AND MELTING. REPLACED FRONT HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY RIGHT AND LEFT. NOT THE PROBLEM. STILL HAVE SAME PROBLEM. THEY WILL STOP WORKING, ONE SIDE AT THE TIME AND FOR NO RATIONAL REASON WILL START AGAIN AS IF A SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. RUNNING LIGHTS WORK PART OF TIME. WE HAVE REPLACED A TON OF BULBS BUT TO NO AVAIL. CAN SOMEONE ON THIS EARTH PLEASE TELL ME WHERE THE SWITCHES ARE LOCATED IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SO THIS VEHICLE CAN BE REPAIRED. SO FAR, NO LUCK IN THIS EFFORT. MY CAR ONLY HAS 330,000 MILES PLUS AND SO FAR THIS IS ALL THAT IS WRONG.

WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS SET, IT WOULD DISENGAGE BY ITSELF AND AIR ONLY BLEW OUT OF THE RIGHT DOUBLE VENT AND THE LEFT DOUBLE VENT BLEW OUT HOT AIR. *JB

I'D BEEN NOTICING THAT MY CAR WOULD QUIT AT RANDOM TIMES A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO, AT FIRST ONCE EVERY MONTH OR THREE, THEN GRADUALLY WORKED UP TO MAYBE ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK. WHEN I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE AND TOOK MY KEY OFF MY KEY RING. I HAD NO FURTHER QUITTING INCIDENTS UNTIL I TOOK MY CAR IN TO THE DEALER OCTOBER 31ST. THEY DID THEIR THING WITH MY KEY, AND MY CAR QUIT TEN MINUTES LATER, ON THE WAY TO AN URGENT APPOINTMENT. I GOT IT STARTED AGAIN, THEN IT QUIT AGAIN A COUPLE OF BLOCKS DOWN THE ROAD. I FINALLY MADE IT TO MY APPOINTMENT, 5 MINUTES LATE. I PUT ASIDE THE "NEW" KEY, USED A SPARE FROM THEN ON, AND THE CAR SEEMED FINE OVER THE WEEKEND. BUT ON MONDAY MORNING I DROVE TO THE GYM TO WORK OUT, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START WHEN I FINISHED MY WORKOUT AND I WALKED THE REST OF THE WAY TO WORK. IT STARTED FINE THAT EVENING, THEN AGAIN THIS MORNING, BUT CONKED OUT HALF WAY TO WORK AGAIN. I GOT IT STARTED AGAIN BEFORE IT COASTED TO A STOP, BUT THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS. I THINK THE RECALL IS A FAILURE, AND GM NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING MUCH MORE THAN REPLACING THE KEY HEAD FOR IT TO BE EFFECTIVE. IF I WASN'T A STRONG MAN, I COULD HAVE HAD MANY SERIOUS ACCIDENTS BY NOW. *TR

2009 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO IGNITION SWITCH ISSUE. LD THE CONSUMER WAS NOT ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER HAS SINCE SOLD THE VEHICLE. *JB

GM SENT ME A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE INFAMOUS IGNITION SWITCH DEFECT. THE CHEAP REMEDY THAT THEY PROPOSE, WHICH IS TO PROVIDE THE OWNER WITH A KEYRING THE RESTRICTS ADDING ADDITIONAL KEYS TO THE KEYCHAIN, IMPOSES AN ADDITIONAL BURDEN ON THE CAR OWNER BEYOND WHAT WAS REQUIRED WHEN THE OWNER PURCHASED THE CAR. THE REMEDY PROVIDED BY GM IS ENTIRELY UNACCEPTABLE. INSTEAD, GM SHOULD REPLACE THE IGNITION CYLINDER AS THEY ARE DOING IN NEWER CARS. ALTERNATIVELY, GM SHOULD BUY THE CARS BACK AT ITS CURRENT KELLY BLUE BOOK VALUE. *TR

3 MONTHS AGO MY ELECTRICAL STARTED GOING HAYWIRE. TURN SIGNALS, DASH, LIGHTS, WINDOWS. MOST OCCUR WHILE TURNING CAR ON. IT'S HIT AND MISS WHETHER IT STARTS. BATTERY DRAINS SOMETIMES NO RHYME OR REASON. IT STARTS WITHOUT INCIDENT ONE DAY AND THEN NEEDS RECHARGED THE NEXT. I'VE HAD MULTIPLE PEOPLE TELL ME AN ARAY OF DIFFERENT POSSIBILITIES, ALTERNATOR, IGNITION SWITCH, BATTERY, WORN DOWN KEY, LEAVING SOMETHING ON ETC. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM OCCURS BECAUSE THE KEY CAN COME IN AND OUT WHILE IN ANY POSITION. BECAUSE OF THIS I BELIEVE THE BATTERY IS BEING DRAINED BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE UNAWARE THAT THEY ARE REMOVING THE KEY WHILE IT IS STILL IN THE ACC OR ON POSITION. THIS DOESNT EXPLAIN WHY VARIOUS ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS AREN'T WORKING AT FULL CAPACITY ALL THE TIME. I DID NOTICE THAT THE HIT AND MISS QUALITY WASN'T AS SEVERE ONCE I REMOVED ALL EXTRAS FROM THE KEY AFTER RECEIVING THE RECALL NOTICE A WEEK AGO. I STARTED TO PAY MORE ATTENTION TO WHAT WAS GOING ON TO SEE IF PERHAPS THE ISSUE WAS RELATED LAST SUNDAY THE BATTERY SEEMED DEAD AGAIN AND THE CAR WOULDN'T START. I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL I GOT THINGS TO LIGHT UP BUT THEN THE KEY SLIPPED OUT WHILE TRYING TO START IT. I SLIPPED THE KEY BACK IN AND NOW IT WON'T TURN TO EITHER THE OFF OR START POSITIONS. IT REMAINS IN ACC OR ON POSITIONS ONLY. EVEN IF I CHARGED THE BATTERY I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO START IT OR TURN THE ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES OFF TO KEEP THE BATTERY FROM DRAINING AGAIN. FROM WHAT I CAN TELL, THE RECALL DOESN'T ACTUALLY R

ON THE MORNING OF JULY 5 2008, MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE CAR IN THE DESCRIPTION ABOVE SHE WAS A MILE FROM HOME WHEN SHE RAN OFF OF THE EDGE OF THE ROAD AND WHEN SHE TRIED TO PULL HER CAR BACK ONTO THE HIGHWAY SHE COULD NOT CONTROL IT, THE CAR WENT OFF AND CRASH INTO A DEEP DITCH AND HIT A TREE. SHE WAS BADLY INJURED BUT THE PASSENGER IN THE CAR WAS KILL FROM A HEAD INJURED. I KNOW THAT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY PERSONAL CAME OUT AND INVESTIGATER THE SCENE, WE NEVER FIND OUT WHAT CAUSE THE CAR TO HAVE NO CONTROL, SO NOW THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS CAR BECAUSE OF THE KEY TURNING IN THE IGNITION AND FALL OUT, I NEED TO KNOW IF OR WHAT I CAN DO TO SEE IF THIS IS WHAT CAUSE HER TO CRASH. WE NO LONG HAVE THIS VEHICLE BUT I AM HOPING THAT THERE IS A WAY TO FIND OUT AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. AFTER THE CRASH HER KEYS WAS IN THE FLOOR IN THE VEHICLE. IS THERE SOME WAY TO FIND OUT THE REPORT THAT HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY FILED..UPDATED 10/02/14 *BF *TR
