2000 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE Engine And Engine Cooling Problems

I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE AC AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON EVERY SINCE I GOT IT ALSO. I HAVE FIXED EVERYTHING I CAN THINK TO FIX TO GET THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT OFF AND IT STILL IS ON. I HAVE BEEN BACK AND FORTH WITH THE DEALERSHIP THAT I GOT THE CAR FROM THEN THEY STARTED GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND B/C THEY JUST DIDN'T WANT TO FIX IT ANY MORE. THEN I TRIED TO GET IT FIXED WERE I LIVE AND ONE PLACE COULD NOT FIX IT B/C THEY SAID THAT I HAD A LIFE TIME WARRANTY ON IT SO I HAD TO TAKE IT TO A GM DEALER SHIP. THE ORIGINAL COMPANY SAID THAT I DIDN'T HAVE A WARRANTY ON IT AT ONE POINT. SO I TOOK IT TO THE OTHER DEALERSHIP AND THEY FIXED IT ONE DAY , I CAN AND GOT...

MY 2000 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE BEGAN WITH HEATER MALFUNCTIONING DURING JANUARY 2007. THE SEYMOUR, WI. GUSTMAN DEALERSHHIP HANDLED MY COMPLAINTS. GASOLINE WAS FOUND IN THE COOLANT, AND THE RESULTING REPAIR BILL WAS $3025.00 I FEEL THAT THE OLDSMOBILE/GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DEFECT AND OUGHT TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS SINCE IT BECAME KNOWN TO ME THAT THEY ALREADY HAD A REPAIR KIT , WHICH IMPLIED THAT THEY KNEW OF THIS PROBLEM BEFOREHAND.*AK UPDATED 10/15/07.

CAR STALLS, OR DOES NOT WANT TO START. ALSO STALLS , OR BEGINS TO STALL WHILE IN TRAFFIC, THEN SURGES FORWARD IN ORDER TO GIVE ITSELF GAS, CAUSING THE CAR TO LUNGE FORWARD. *JB

2000 OLDS INTRIGUE WILL NOT CRANK INTERMITTENTLY. ONCE IT CRANKS CAR STARTS AND RUNS PERFECTLY. HAS BEEN INTO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, BUT TO NO AVAIL. CRANK SENSOR WAS REPLACED 2/2006 AT MY EXPENSE. IT MADE NO DIFFERENCE IN CRANKING PROBLEM. ALSO HAS FLICKERING PROBLEM WITH HEADLIGHTS. ALTERNATOR HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE AT GM'S EXPENSE. *JB

MY CAR'S ENGINE IS OVERHEATING. I TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY DON'T WANT TO FIX THE CAR. THEY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT UNDER WARRENTY. I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER OLDS DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE GOING TO REPLACE THE THERMOSTAT AND THERMOSTAT HOUSING, BUT THIS IS GOING TO COST ME. THIS CAR IS STILL UNDER IT'S EXTENDED WARRANTY. *AK

THE CAR HAS OVERHEATED ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE 1ST INCIDENT WAS ON RTE 95 AT NIGHT WHICH MAKES FOR A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE DEALER CHECKED THE CAR AND CLAIMED NOTHING WAS WRONG. FROM THIS POINT ON WE WATCHED AND REALIZED THAT THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WENT FROM THE MIDDLE POINT UP TO THE TOP OF THE GAUGE FREQUENTLY. WE BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN AND WERE TOLD THAT GM SAID THAT THE OPERATING TEMPERATURE WAS ANYWHERE IN THE WHITE ZONE. THIS PAST WEEKEND WE DROVE ABOUT 40 MILES FROM HOME AND TWICE THE CAR OVERHEATED. THE 3RD TRIP BACK TO THE DEALER HAPPENED ON A DAY THAT GM FIELD TECHS WERE IN THE DEALER SERVICE AREA. ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE MANAGER, THESE TECHS WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE TEMPORARY SOLUTION WAS TO "SHIM" THE THERMOSTAT. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAYS THAT GM IS WORKING ON THE PROBLEM....
