Headlights were flickering. Similair to someone trying to blow out a candle. To the point it looked like the light were almost going out. Happened on I-83 just North of I-695.

The headlights pulsate at night. Also, the dashboard lights become dim, then become bright. The dealer finds no defects.

While driving headlights dimmed without warning. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem. The fan blower motor also went up and down while the headlight were dimming.

Headlights flicker during cold nights (below 30 degrees). Cars think I am flashing my high beams on or off and want to pass. This has caused a number of drivers to become annoyed with me. I have not noticed this happening lately since the temperatures have been above freezing at night.

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. They did however find that the problem is a sensor for the antilock braking system, it is some sort of sensor that detects when a wheel isnt turning fast enough and it kicks a motor in that makes it catch up causing the loss of power to the lights, thus causing them to dim. They said it has been recalled for the same problem in the Bravada, S10, GMC Envoy, jimmy and sonoma. They said it is service bulletin cqb00-18. It states that the ebcm loses a wheel speed sensor signal and it will activate the ABS motor monentarily, since the motor may draw up to 100 amps the lights will dim or flicker during the cycle. The brakes do not have to be applied for this condition to happen. The loss of signal could be caused by faulty wiring, a bad wheel speed sensor or sensor ring or air gap (worn brakes). None of these have been repaired on my vehicle because they stated that this did not apply to my vehicle and they could not repair it even though that the same problem exist in over 200,000 Intrigues of the same year. I would greatly appreciate you looking into this matter and making the dealerships reapir this problem by issuing a service bulletin.

I have a 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue that has headlights that dim and flicker. It is more prevalent in colder temperatures. I bought the vehicle new and have noticed it since I purchased it.

Automatic headlights dim/flicker to the point that oncoming turning drivers think I am giving them the high beams to go ahead and turn in my path. I nearly had one high speed head on collision due to this problem. The defect seems to be related to street lamps and ambient lights.

I bought the car in the spring from a GM dealer. Now, that it's in the winter, when it's cold, the headlights flicker badly. It's dangerous. It's tied to engine RPM. At idle, the lights are fine. As you accelerate the engine, the lights flicker down.....they get dim and flash back to normal. I just replaced the battery and it made no difference. It's got to be in the alternator/voltage regualtor. This is a safety defect. The lights are supposed to work like the lights on every other car.... it'll be nearly impossible to duplcate because when the car gets warm, the problem goes away.

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. There is a flicker, I checked the bulbs, there is no corosion around the connectors, all connections are tight. I have joined an online forum for the model vehicle that I have and almost all of the other users in the group have experienced the same thing. I would like something done about this and have no idea who to contact. I have a wife and 2 small children, so, naturally I want the vehicle to be safe. The dealer (simmons-rockwell in hornell, N.Y.) or www.simmons-rockwell.com. they insist that it is the A/C. well, it has been below 40 degrees pretty much everyday since halloween of this year. And I haven't ever turned on the A/C in the car not once. Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated. And I know there are others out there like me that have the same problem but, don't know what to do about it. Thank you.

Headlights continually dim and brighten while driving. Took car to dealer (downtown olds, Warren, Ohio) and they said nothing wrong could be found.)

- Niles, OH, USA

The headlights filcker at various times and this alternator has been replaced 3 times. The dealer has done all that they can, but the alternator failure is a design flaw with the 3.5L engine. I have been told that this is not a major problem, but the 'flickering' has become more regular and seems to happens for a longer duratation. I look forward to a solution from GM on this.

The headlights will "flicker" while driving, doesn't matter what speed. This was reported to the dealership while under the warranty period. At that time, the service technician stated that he was aware of this problem and that the only thing that he could do was to replace the alternator, but didn't think it would completely correct the problem. The alternator was replaced and it did not correct the problem. My vehicle does not have any additional "after market" equipment installed that could be causing a "strain" on the electrical system.
