The contact owns a 2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced a complete loss of power and the odometer failed to display the mileage of the vehicle. The contact also stated that the exterior tail lamp failed to illuminate. The vehicle was taken to cable dahmer Buick GMC of independence (3107 S noland rd, independence, mo) where it was repaired per NHTSA campaign number: 14V400000 (electrical system); however, the failure recurred. The dealer did not diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was notified and did not assist since the recall repair was already performed. The failure mileage was not provided.

I have a 02 olds Intrigue and it has a flickering in intensity issue with the headlights. This is a driving distraction not just for me but anyone in front of me...as they may feel brighted or it may distract them and they may vere away from me. I have had people slow down when directly in front of me because they thought I was signaling them with my lights, also god forbid a cop ever see my car doing this here in mo they may think I'm warning others of a cop in the area. I've read up on this and GM says its normal operation but yet many of us owners are having the same issues. They put out different altenators but the only one I've read abt success with cost upwards of $400+ dollars. This is a defective altenator issue that drops out for a few seconds and thats what causes the pulsing of lights. If I wanted to be in a dance hall I would go, my vision is already compromised and this is a serious distraction.

The turn signal lamp and socket had to replace 3 times on passengers side and once on drivers side. The socket over heats and melts so the turn signal does not work and the light on the dash board flashes fast.it is a on going problem.I replaced the socket pig tails at $45 each.

Intermittent problem of dash cluster lights, steering wheel control lights, gear selector lights, climate control lights going completely out or in operative. Turning headlamp switch to on position vs. Automatic setting makes no change in problem. Intermittent nature is also tied to display in radio flashing bright a few times and then all affected lights going out.
