TAKATA RECALL WHILE DRIVING MY LIGHTS WERE DIMMING WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. MY CAR CUT OFF ON ME TWICE. THE FIRST TIME IT CUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND THE SECOND TIME IT CUT OFF WHILE I WAS AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. SOMETIME THE CAR WON'T START. AFTER THE THIRD OR FORTH ATTEMPT THE CAR WILL START. MY GAS PEDAL IS STICKING NOW THIS JUST START HAPPENING. SOMETIMES I HAVE A TIME TRYING TO PUT THE WINDOWS DOWN. I HAVE TO JIGGLE WITH THE SWITCH A FEW TIMES IN ORDER FOR THE WINDOW ON DRIVER SIDE TO GO DOWN. I HAD TWO CRANK SENSORS AND ONE CAM SENSOR PUT ON MY VEHICLE. I AM STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. I HAD THE VEHICLE THOROUGHLY CHECKED BY A MECHANIC AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL- WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION IT WILL SIMPLY STOP, NOTHING WILL WORK. IT MUST BE RESTARTED TO RESUME AND CONTINUE. IT MAY NOT DRIVE FOR LONG THOUGH. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS .AT TIMES THE POWER WILL SHUT OFF MOMENTARILY BUT THE CAR WILL CONTINUE DRIVING. THE LIGHTS WILL DIM WHILE DRIVING, ALSO. ON ONE OCCASION THE CAR WOULD NOT START UNTIL THE THIRD CRANK OF THE KEY. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON BUSY STREETS WITH MY NEW 17 YEAR OLD DRIVER AT THE WHEEL. I WILL BE CALLING A DEALER SOON. THEY HAVE TO FEEL SOME RESPONSIBILITY. I PRAY NO ONE GETS HURT DUE TO THIS ISSUE.

IN THE PAST FEW YEARS, MY 2001 OLDS INTRIGUE HAS BEEN HAVING NUMEROUS ISSUES. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT IT MAY JUST BE MY CAR, BUT AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, I'M FINDING THAT ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE ALSO HAPPENING TO MANY OTHERS. THE FIRST THING THAT I NOTICED WAS THE RANDOM DIMMING OF MY HEADLIGHTS WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE CHECKED MY LIGHTS, BATTERY CABLES, AND ALTERNATOR. ALL ARE FINE. THE NEXT ISSUE IS THAT MY BLINKERS SOMETIMES WORK AND SOMETIMES DON'T. THIS IS VERY DISCONCERTING AND MOST DANGEROUS WHEN TAKING MY CHILD TO AND FROM SCHOOL, WHEN STREETS ARE BUSY AND SIGNALS ARE NECESSARY! THIRDLY, ABOUT 3/4 OF THE TIME WHILE STOPPED, MY CAR IDLES VERY HIGH! I ASSUME THIS MAY BE DUE TO THE FACT THAT MY TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE ENGINE SOON, AND SERVICE VEHICLE SOON LIGHTS ARE ALL ON. ALL HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT IT'S A WIRING ISSUE THAT IS COMMON IN INTRIGUES. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, IT HAS BECOME A RATHER CONSISTANT PROBLEM THAT MY CAR DOESN'T WANT TO START. SOMETIMES IT STARTS UP JUST

DRIVING ANYWHERE DAY OR NIGHT AT ANY GIVEN SPEED, RADIO GOES IN AND OUT, TURN SIGNAL WORK ON AND OFF AT RANDOM MOMENTS, HEADLIGHTS WILL DIM FOR NO REASON, INTERIOR DASH LIGHTS DIM FOR NO REASON. ALSO WILL OCCASIONALLY CAUSE CAR TO STALL FOR NO REASON. HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER BY LAW ENFORCEMENT SEVERAL TIMES AND WARNED ABOUT NOT USING TURN SIGNALS WHEN I DID, BUT CAR HAS NEVER WORKED PROPERLY. I INFORM THEM OF THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE REPEATEDLY MADE TO GM TO RESOLVE AND HAVE BEEN REPEATEDLY IGNORED BY GM. I USUALLY AM LET OFF WITH WARNING. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS VERY ISSUE AND YET NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO RESOLVE IT. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND EVENTUALLY WILL LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT DUE TO GM NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR DEFECTS. IT ALSO AFFECTS EXTERIOR LIGHTING.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE APPROACHING A TURN, THE VEHICLE GOES DEAD AND COMPLETELY BLACKS OUT. THE VEHICLE IS OPERATING PERFECTLY PRIOR TO ALL ELECTRICAL CURRENT BEGIN CUT FROM THE CAR, THIS HAPPENS WITH NO WARNING. IT HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH A BAD ELECTRONIC IGNITION SWITCH WHICH IS CUTTING ALL POWER TO THE VEHICLE. OBVIOUSLY WITH OUT A RUNNING ENGINE, THE POWER BRAKES AND STEERING ARE GONE TOO. I HAVE TO ASSUME SINCE THERE IS NO POWER TO THE VEHICLE THAT THE AIRBAGS WOULD ALSO NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY. *TR

THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION WITHIN MY TURN SIGNALS IS ERRATIC. ONE MOMENT THE TURN SIGNAL WORKS, THE NEXT MOMENT IT DOESN'T. THIS MAKES FOR A DIFFICULT COMMUTE. THERE IS A CURRENT SAFETY RECALL PERTAINING TO VEHICLES MADE BY GM DURING THE TIME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS BUILT BUT MY VEHICLE ISN'T COVERED UNDER THE RECALL, DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE VEHICLE IS SUFFERING FROM THE SAME PROBLEMS AS THE GM VEHICLES INCLUDED IN THE SAFETY RECALL. THE RECALL STATES THAT THERE WAS FAULTY SODDERING AT FAULT IN THE CASE OF THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES.
