NHTSA Complaint #10747100 — 2000 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE

MY BLINKERS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE (FRONT AND BACK) BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION AND WOULD ONLY WORK INTERMITTENTLY IN 2010. THIS WENT ON FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND THEN THE PASSENGER SIDE BLINKERS (FRONT AND BACK) BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION IN THE SAME MANNER ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER. THIS WENT ON WITH BOTH SIDES WORKING ONLY INTERMITTENTLY FOR 2 YEARS. THEN, SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN IN MID 2012, THE PASSENGER SIDE BLINKER STARTED MAKING VERY LOUD ELECTRICAL GLITCH SOUNDS AND THEN COMPLETELY BLEW AND MY CAR DIED WITH IT. I HAD TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR SHORTLY AFTER AND THE PASSENGER SIDE BLINKERS WORKED PERFECTLY, BUT I HAD TO DRIVE WITH OUT MY DRIVER'S SIDE BLINKERS UNTIL MID 2013, WHEN I COULD NOT PASS DMV REQUIRED INSPECTION. I PAID TO HAVE THE DRIVER'S SIDE BLINKER RELAY SYSTEM REPLACED AND IT WORKED FOR ABOUT A MONTH BUT THEN BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE BLINKERS STARTED WORKING INTERMITTENTLY AGAIN. WITHIN 1 MONTH, THE DRIVER'S SIDE BLINKER RELAY SYSTEM COMPLETELY FAILED AGAIN (PASSENGER WORKS, EXCEPT I HAVE TO WIGGLE AND MESS WITH THE EMERGENCY HAZARDS LIGHTS TO GET IT TO EVEN TURN ON AT ALL). NOW I HAVE ONE PAIR OF BLINKERS NOT WORKING AT ALL, AND ONE THAT IS INTERMITTENT, 3/4 OF THE TIME IT WORKS BUT ONLY IF I DISTRACTEDLY WIGGLE MY HAZARD LIGHT BUTTON WHILE TRYING TO TURN OR CHANGE LANES. MECHANICS ARE BAFFLED AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TOO TELL ME! THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION FOR ANYONE TO BE DRIVING WITH AND I FEAR IT WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT SOMEDAY SOON. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH MY HEADLIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY DIMMING THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED BY MANY GM CONSUMERS SINCE I STARTED DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN 2007. I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO PAY ANOTHER MECHANIC TO REPLACE MY DRIVER'S SIDE TURN SIGNAL RELAY SYSTEM, JUST FOR IT FAIL AGAIN DUE TO THESE DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEMS IN MY 2000 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE. GM NEEDS TO ACT QUICKLY!
