My left and right turn signals malfunction. They work sometimes intermittently and then total failure.
- Virginia Beach, VA, USA
I own a 2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue and I am experiencing a familiar problem with my turn signals as described in NHTSA action number EA02037. I have investigated this problem via Oldsmobile owner forums on the internet and have seen other owners of the Intrigue having the same problem. I am interested to know why GM didn't issue a recall to repair/replace these electrical problems on these vehicles as well as the ones listed on the NHTSA action number?

Turn signal failure on a daily basis. I drive on a highway 80 miles a day. The turn signals may blink rapidly, normally, or not work at all. This can all occur within a few miles. However, when I took them to a repair shop, they could not duplicate the problem. This has been going on for over a year. I have also had to replace the air pump that pumps air into the emissions system twice, and it is still having problems. The car runs fine, but the engine light is on all the time. I also have the problem with the dimming lights which is caused by the air pump switching on and off.

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.

Blinker/hazard lights not working. The hazard switch buzzes when the turn indicator lever is activated. Turn signals work approximately 30% of the time.

The hazard switch on my 2001 olds Intrigue will not work all the time, and the turn signals work intermittently. These problems sometime occur simultaneously and make everyday driving unsafe.
- Moravia, NY, USA
The hazard switch on my 2001 olds Intrigue will not work all the time, and the turn signals work on a off and on basis, just like the recent recall of the 2001aleros, Grand Am, and others.
