What owners wrote
2001 oldsmobile intrigue horn failed to operate. The consumer stated it is hard to locate the horn when needed. The consumers vehicle was hit in the fender. The consumer stated the accident probably could have been avoided had he been able to locate the horn.
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.
