Recall id 75918- engine and engine cooling gmc owner center, I own a 1998 oldsmobile and has had several problems with the window regulators failing, signal lights, electrical, cooling system and coolant warning light since owning the vehicle in 2000. Engine and gaskets have blown, water temp has blown and after costly repairs, the low coolant light still goes off and on. Dealership always have to have light on to detect issues and still never detect anything. My coolant and levels are always checked and filled and the light still triggers on and off for awhile then return on again throughout car history. In 2008 my coolant light was acting up and I had vehicle checked out and fluids at appropriate level. Vehicle ended up overheating on interstate and I had to replace water pump and something else. Light went out for awhile and vehicle checked out. In 2009 light came on and vehicle checked and all fluid levels correct. Light still comes on and blinks and goes off for awhile. Smells like oil or something burning in car. I was on consumer recall site and saw this engine and engine cooling recall from 2009 regarding the spark plug wire retention. I don't recall receiving this notification. I believe the last recall letter I received was in 2008 regarding the steering. My vehicle was taken to shop for that and checked out at that time. Can I still have my spark plug wire retainers replaced for this recall?

Tl* the contact owns a 1999 oldsmobile intrigue gl. The contact was driving approximately 35 MPH when the engine stalled with the illumination of the entire instrument panel. The engine restarted and the failure recurred five minutes later. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnosis. The oxygen sensor and a complete engine tune up was performed on the vehicle. Two weeks later, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the independent mechanic where the oxygen senor wiring was replaced. Recently, the four window regulators and air conditioner would not operate in extremely hot weather temperatures. There was a recall related to the failure under the federal safety agency campaign id number 09v116000 (engine and engine cooling); however the vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 104,000.

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.

Over the last 1 1/2 years I have had to replace all four window regulators on my 2000 oldsmobile intrigue because a plastic part broke. The part holds the cable that moves the window in the door. These repairs have cost me almost $1800.

(1) opening and closing the door; (2) door will not open or shut due to the frame/metal to which the driver's door hinge mounts to flexing causeing the door to be misaligned with the latch. After trying to shut the door the driver's window fell down and will not roll up or down with the controls... (3) at the moment the window is held up with a pair of vice grips until I can afford to replace the whole door...

I own a 1998 oldsmobile intrigue gl. To date, I have had three of the four window regulators break. There is a small plastic "keeper" imbedded into the otherwise metal regulator track, that secures both ends of the cable that transports the window up and down on its track. In all cases, this plastic keeper has broken, thus releasing one or both ends of the regulator cable, causing the window mechanism to fail, and allowing the window to fall down inside the door. I have temporarily secured the windows in the up position to keep the weather out. Only the driver's door regulator remains operable; passengers can not roll down their windows. Though it is not a life threatening situation under normal operation, it could cause a problem if someone in the vehicle needed to exit the vehicle by a means other than the door (say in the event of a side-impact collision when the door may not be able to be opened), and was not able to roll down the window. I am disturbed that the identical problem has occured on three of the four windows. I'm wondering when the fourth one will fail, and of course, feel this is a manufacturer defect that could lead to a life threatening situation if left unrepaired. I have done nothing to promote these part failures, and propose they be replaced. Please help.

My window motors/regulators on the driver side have both gone out. A co-worker told me his aunt has had the same problem. The windows have to be rigged to stay up and are inoperable.
