1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue Electrical system Problems

“The ignition switch -- which was replaced in 2012 with a new GM dealer part -- turns by itself to the acc setting while driving (engine cuts out and power steering loses power). I suspect that this is related to the GM ignition switch recall problem, but since this model is not on the recall list, I am encountering a challenge to get it repaired. Please phone only -- not an e-mail user.”

“When driving my 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue at approximately 45mph I hit a very large pot hole in the street. It jarred the vehicle and switched the ignition in my vehicle off. I lost power in the vehicle and my ability to properly steer the vehicle. I was thankfully in a lane where I was able to pull the vehicle over without issue (power steering was not available and the wheel was almost locked and it required a lot of pulling to be able to pull over) and restart the car. I did have a large/heavy key ring on my keys at that time.”

“Oldsmobile Intrigue 1999 randomly the security light will come on and sometimes the car will not start for exactly 10 minutes. It has become very annoying because it has caused me to be late for several engagements. I have taken the car to the local GM dealer multiple times while under warranty and each time they claim they replaced the broken part , but still after a couple of months it comes back and once again it won't start.”

“Blinkers have failed. At first, only the left side would work. Now, both sides have failed. The front and rear bulbs as well as the sockets are functional. The flasher module was replaced, but did not remedy the situation. The hazard flashers work normally, however. Right now, I have no way of alerting other drivers of my intentions. The only way I can signal is by sticking my arm out the wondow.”

“Turn signal/hazard flashers.on occasion will not work period, or turn on with no blinking. Wiggling the hazard switch can bring back the flashing/flickering. Replaced part once for the same reason, was good for three months,but it came back again. The irony, the car has an no start/security light problem, but when I installed the new hazard flasher, I did not have the no start problem until the hazard switch failed again. Now it makes one wonder if the hazard switch plays a roll in the security/passkey no start scenario. …”
