2004 Dodge Intrepid Complaints

I WAS DRIVING ALONG AND THE ENGINE JUST STOPPED. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON, NO SUDDEN NOISES, ETC. I WAS DRIVING THE CAR APPROX. 25 MINUTES WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND HAVE THE CAR TOWED. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A DEALERSHIP A YEAR AGO, AND KEPT UP WITH MAINTENANCE. TWO DAYS AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR THE ENGINE DIED AND I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE MECHANIC THERE TOLD ME THAT THERE WERE BURNT WIRES IN THE ENGINE THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED. A MONTH LATER, THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE COOLANT SYSTEM, SO I HAD IT TAKEN TO A MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE ENTIRE COOLANT SYSTEM, PUT IN A NEW RADIATOR BECAUSE THERE WAS A SMALL CRACK, AS WELL AS INSTALLED A BRAND NEW BATTERY. ABOUT A MONTH AFTER THAT INCIDENT, AS I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, WHICH IS ONLY 11 MILES AT 35MPH, THE ENGINE SEIZED. NONE OF THE INDICATOR LIGHTS WENT ON. TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS TOLD ME THAT I NEED A NEW ENGINE. IT IS A 2.7L V6. I STILL OWE $4,000 ON THE CAR AND SO FAR IT COST ME $6,000 TO KEEP IT RUNNING. *TR

THE ENGINE OUT OF NOWHERE BLEW UP, ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND WATER AND OIL CAME OUT OF THE OIL SPOUT, ALSO ALWAYS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING, HAVING TO CONSTANTLY CHANGE THE RUBBERS IN THE STABILIZER BARS, I'M COMPLAINING BECAUSE THE CAR IS A LEMON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 DODGE INTREPID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN IT ROLLED AWAY FROM A RESIDENTIAL DRIVEWAY AND CRASHED INTO A MAILBOX. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MECHANIC ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE GEAR SHIFT INTERLOCK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 140,200.

I INSTALLED NEW REAR BRAKES, THEN I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, I CHECK AROUND AND FOUND THAT THE STEEL BRAKE TUBING WAS RUSTED OUT AND SPRUNG A LEAK, REPAIRED TWO OF THE FOUR STEEL TUBINGS,NOW IT WAS LUCKY FOR ME I WAS IN THE BACK LAWN,. NOW IF I WAS ON THE ROAD WHO KNOWS WHAT COULD HAPPENED. HOW CAN A BIG COMPANY LIKE CHRYSLER GET AWAY WITH INSTALLING STEEL BRAKE LINES. IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL TO INSTALL SUCH A HAZARD.. I WANDER HOW MANY ACCIDENTS HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THIS AND IF ANY ONE DIED BECAUSE OF THIS, THEY SHOULD BE SUED BIG TIME TONY CAPUTO PS THIS IS ACCIDENT,MY SON CALLED ME AND SAID HIS RV CHRYSLER DID THE SAME THING.HE WAS ON THE ROAD, HE MANAGED TO GET HOME OK, THERE SHOULD BE SOME KIND OF RECALL ON THIS, IT IS VERY VERY VERY DANGEROUS.
