NHTSA Complaint #10127864 — 2000 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE

COMMUNICATION FAILURE FROM MAIN COMPUTER CAUSES CAR TO STALL AND SOMETIMES NOT EVEN START AS WELL AS A/C HEATER AND CRUISE CONTROL WORKS ONCE AND A WHILE. CONTACTED DEALER AND WAS TOLD A PERSON FROM THE SERVICES DEPT WOULD CALL ME BACK. THEY DIDN'T. TALKED TO ANOTHER PERSON AND TOLD THEN ABOUT THE CAR STALLING AND NOT STARTING AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS EITHER THE FUEL FILTER OR THE FUEL PUMP. REPLACE FUEL FILTER, DIDN'T HELP CHECKED FUEL PUMP BUT IT WAS WORKING JUST FINE. THE CAR HAS STALLED OUT ON THE HIGHWAY MANY TIMES AND HAS BUT MY LIFE AS WELL AS MY CHILDRENS LIFES IN DANGER. WHEN IT DIES THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES DO NOT RESPOND. JUST TODAY I HAD A BASIC COMPUTER SCAN DONE WHICH TOLD ME THE PROBLEM. THE PLACE THAT DID THE TEST INFORMED ME THAT IS THE #1 PROBLEM WITH THE OLDSMOBILE FROM 1997-2001. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT GM IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT THEY WONT DO ANYTHING UNTIL A DEATH RESULTS FROM IT. GM NEEDS TO STEP UP AND FIX THESE PROBLEMS. THIS IS ALSO A PROBLEM WITH THE ALERO'S (2000 MODEL).
