2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue Exterior lighting Problems

“The electrical connection within my turn signals is erratic. One moment the turn signal works, the next moment it doesn't. This makes for a difficult commute. There is a current safety recall pertaining to vehicles made by GM during the time that my vehicle was built but my vehicle isn't covered under the recall, despite the fact that the vehicle is suffering from the same problems as the GM vehicles included in the safety recall. The recall states that there was faulty soddering at fault in the case of the electrical issues. …”

“Driving anywhere day or night at any given speed, radio goes in and out, turn signal work on and off at random moments, headlights will dim for no reason, interior dash lights dim for no reason.

This is very disconcerting and most dangerous when taking my child to and from school, when streets are busy and signals are necessary! …”

I have investigated this problem via Oldsmobile owner forums on the internet and have seen other owners of the Intrigue having the same problem. I am interested to know why GM didn't issue a recall to repair/replace these electrical problems on these vehicles as well as the ones listed on the NHTSA action number?”

“Headlights flicker - under certain circumstances(more often in cold weather) the headlights on the car flicker as if I were flashing my high beams or turn my lights off and back on again. Doesn't really sound like a big issue....right. Well, that's what I thought after the dealer refused to continue to replace alternators in my car because this was a known issue with Oldsmobile. If you search on google or any other search engine you can find thousands and thousands of people with the same issue. Back to the safety issue... …”
