2000 oldsmobile intrigue. Consumer states problem with check engine light and a.I.r. Pump *tgw the consumer stated the air conditioner failed and was blowing out hot air on the passenger side and cold air on the drivers' side. The wheels were no good. The plating on the inside would come off and create problems for the tires sealing properly, therefore an uneven wear occurred. The consumer also stated he began to have steering problems, there were several lights coming on the dash and going off, but the dealer was unable to diagnose the problem. The consumer began to investigate and discovered the part that was causing the lights to illuminate was the hydraulic brake modulator which cost $1,000. The transmission would shift hard at times and sometimes whine while driving. The turn signals did not always work or they would shut off while blinking. When the cruise control was activated, and the turn signal or head lights were activated the cruise control would deactivate by itself. The rear passenger window stopped working and the sway bar was cracked. Also, the gas pedal would stick at times. The heated seats were too cool on low and too hot on high.

Communication failure from main computer causes car to stall and sometimes not even start as well as A/C heater and cruise control works once and a while. Contacted dealer and was told a person from the services dept would call me back. They didn't. Talked to another person and told then about the car stalling and not starting and they told me that it was either the fuel filter or the fuel pump. Replace fuel filter, didn't help checked fuel pump but it was working just fine. The car has stalled out on the highway many times and has but my life as well as my childrens lifes in danger. When it dies the power steering and power brakes do not respond. Just today I had a basic computer scan done which told me the problem. The place that did the test informed me that is the #1 problem with the oldsmobile from 1997-2001. I was also informed that gm is aware of this problem, but they wont do anything until a death results from it. Gm needs to step up and fix these problems. This is also a problem with the alero's (2000 model).
The headlights flickered while driving at night. This problems caused the cruise control to deactivate by itself while engaged, and turned off the air conditioner or the heater when operating. Vehicle had been to the dealer on four separate occasions. The dealer replaced several parts, and problem recurred.
