“My headlights flicker and dim which is dangerous during nigh time driving, so I am unable to drive when its dark out. Also my blinkers work off and on. I feel GM should cover a recall on these problems.”
NHTSA complaint #10766548, filed 2015-09, 113,204 miles“My blinkers on the driver's side (front and back) began to malfunction and would only work intermittently in 2010. This went on for about a year and then the passenger side blinkers (front and back) began to malfunction in the same manner about 6 months later. This went on with both sides working only intermittently for 2 years. Then, suddenly while driving at night and trying to make a left turn in mid 2012, the passenger side blinker started making very loud electrical glitch sounds and then completely blew and my car died with it. …”
NHTSA complaint #10747100, filed 2015-08, 124,000 miles“I own a 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue and while driving down the road the headlights will go dim to the point of almost being off. Not only is this dangerous to me and my family of 4 it is dangerous to others driving towards me. I have taken this back to the dealership where I have bought it on several occasions and the problem still remains after 2 alternators and a computer was replaced. …”
NHTSA complaint #10056794, filed 2004-02, 20,000 miles“I noticed the headlights dimming on their own about a week after I first started driving the vehicle. It occurs intermittently, and very often. I have heard the headlights switching into different modes like this both a night and during the daytime hours. This poses a serious distraction to oncoming traffic on highways and other roads and could confuse other drivers at stop signs. Gm should address this issue immediately; I have seen many other complaints on this very same issue. [note: I believe this issue may also be linked to a serious issue with the turn signal relay system. …”
NHTSA complaint #10747106, filed 2015-08, 120,000 miles“I have a 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue. Since I purchased the vehicle I have noticed that the headklights flicker. And, wehn I say flicker I mean they almost go totally out then come back on. I ahve taken it to the dealer where I purchased the vehicle. Have ran a computer scan on it, which showed no error codes, they insisted that it was the A/C compressor kicking on. I admit it is possible, but not to the extent that it is happening. Which, is constantly. As long as the headlights are on. …”
