Electrical system: ignition
- What is wrong
- 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.

What 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Trouble starting the car on occasion, "misfiring" on occasion and outright no starting LED us to have the crankshaft sensor, starter and camshaft sensor (twice) replaced, at a cost of over $900.00. Further we responded to recall n140350 "unintended ignition key rotation". The dealer replaced a rubber ring in the key to stop the weight of the keys from turning the ignition off. (I think?) after all that the car does start but occasionally on the highway it will stop running, with no other noticeable problems. We would pull over (not always easy to do in a highway!) and the car would start up immediately. Sadly this has happened 5 times in the past two weeks. We are afraid to use our car, which is a 52,000 mile beauty but too dangerous under these conditions.
Failure of 2 power window regulators within 1 year. Window fell during normal driving.

The ignition switch while driving if you use blinker the car will shut off the dummy lights come on and off when there's no need for them and now the car wont start
My car stalls while I'm moving! I bought the car from a used lot in aug 2014, shortly after I received a recall notice. I took the car in to a dealer and the dealer put shells over the keys & supposedly didwhatever else was required in the recall. Shortly after that, I was having a hard time starting the car, I took it back to the lot where I bought it this time. Their mechanic checked it out & determined the crankshaft position sensor needed to be replaced. So they replaced it. Recently my car is having a hard time starting but more importantly, my car will stall while I'm driving! This is scary to be going 25-45 MPH and not be able to control my car! This morning I slowed down to turn a corner & it just shut off on me and I could not turn the wheel! Caused my to come about 2 feet from hitting a median & almost be rear ended! My kids rode in this vehicle & one or all of us is gonna end up seriously injured or killed! This seems to be a serious issue with these vehicles & it needs to be fixed & quickly! I can't keep praying to have this fixed once a year nor should I have to! This issue needs to be addressed immediately & there should be a recall out regarding this issue!
Takata recall when I drove my 2000 olds intrigue home my electrical system shorted out. Power steering went out ,car will not start or anything..the vehicle was in motion,but now is stationary.
I saw a safety recall for my vehicle up to the years 1999 for a oil leak onto the manifold causing fires. My manifold also has been doing this, although no fires at this time. The model years should be extended to the 2000 model year.
