What 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
My 1999 oldsmobile intrigue would not start. I put the hood up and told my girlfriend to start the car. When she did it backfired into the intake and blew up in my face. I lost hearing in my left ear for about 4 days. Car got towed to chance's automotive in easton, maryland. Since I have full coverage on the car I got a rental vehicle through the insurance company. Weeks later the insurance company says that there is a recall on my car. However I was never notified by any manufacturer saying so. Since there was/is a recall on my car the insurance company says that they will not pay for the cost of my car being fixed. So I call a local general motors dealership. The general motors dealership says that they do not have any information about this recall and they are not going to fix it because they do not have a record saying there is a recall on my car. I have called my insurance company numerous times trying to find what website they were using to obtain this information. Finally after weeks they give me your website. I searched the reports with 3 recall numbers(which 2 do not exist;96v1160000 and 03v473000) that the insurance company gave me. Recall # 04v09000 is listed in your database but the recall does not specifically mention my car, a 1999 oldsmobile intrigue. However the motor you specify is the same motor in my car. From this information I do not know whom should take responsibility for it. I have been getting the run around for a month now from the insurance company and the local general motors dealership. I have a rental vehicle which have to go back tomorrow, february 14, 2006. I have a 10 year old son who I have to take to school everyday and I have a career of my own. Without transportation I cannot provide for my child. I just want these mess to be solved. If you could help me in any way possible please contact me. My name is [xxx] and my number is [xxx] if no answer please call [xxx]. *nm information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6
