NHTSA Complaint #10169696 — 2001 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE

FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR THE TURN SIGNALS WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY. SOME TIMES THEY WILL FLASH RAPIDLY LIKE I NEED TO REPLACE A BULB. HOWEVER, MORE AND MORE THEY JUST DON'T WORK AT ALL. THEY WILL WORK MOST OF THE TIME WHEN I FIRST TURN ON THE CAR IN THE MORNING, AFTER THAT IT IS HIT OR MISS. THEY USE TO WORK MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, AND NOW THEY WORK LESS THAN THEY DON'T. I HAVE TAKEN IT FOR SERVICE AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. I HAVE CLEANED/REPLACED THE FUSE (NO.8) IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND CLEANED THE TERMINAL. I HAVE REPLACED EVERY BULB. I HAD A '99 OLDS DELTA 88 THAT DID THE SAME THING BEFORE I TRADED IT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IF TURNING IN FRONT OF ANOTHER CAR AT A STOP SIGN. I HAVE TO USE HAND SIGNALS AND MANY YOUNGER DRIVERS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY MEAN. THIS IS A FAMILY OWNED VEHICLE. I PURCHASED IT FROM MY MOTHER AFTER DRIVING IT FOR ABOUT A YEAR. SHE PURCHASED IT NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP. *NM
