1994 DODGE INTREPID Complaints

BOLTS THAT HOLD TIE ROD BUSHINGS TO VEHICLE SEPARATED AT 35MPH, CAUSING LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED AND REPAIRED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. *AK CONSUMER STATES THERE WAS NO WARNING BEFORE THE STEERING WAS LOST, RUBBER WAS COMPLETELY GONE FROM THE TIE ROD BUSHINGS. *SLC

VISIBILITY IS IMPAIRED DUE TO THE ANGLE OF THE WINDSHIELD. AT NIGHT THE STREET LIGHTS APPEAR AS STREAKS DOWN TO THE WINDSHIELD. THIS IS THE CASE FOR ALL DRIVERS (NOT A VISION PROBLEM).*AK

RECALL 98 V 184 000. FUEL INJECTOR O-RINGS LEAKED. UNDER RECALL IT STATED THAT O-RINGS WOULD BE REPLACED. DEALER CHARGED CONSUMER FOR REPAIRS. NEAL HUFFMAN DODGE, LOUISVILLE, KY 502-897-0601. *AK

RIGHT STEERING TIE ROD HAS RUBBED THROUGH TRANSMISSION WIRING, CAUSING A SHORT CIRCUIT. A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED ON VEHICLE MAKE AND MODEL; HOWEVER, THIS VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED DUE TO VIN. *AK *JB

THIS IS THE THIRD FAILURE IN FOUR YEARS. THE FIRST REPAIR WAS DONE BY AN INDEPENDENT SHOP. THE SECOND TIME IT WAS FIXED BY A DODGE DEALER. BOTH REPAIRS WERE DONE BEFORE THE RECALL WAS ISSUED. WHEN IS WAS ISSUED I WAS TOLD I DID'T NEED TO HAVE IT FIXED AGAIN . I WAS JUST TO SEND MY PAPER WORK AND BILLS TO DAIMLER CHRYSLER FOR RE-IMBURSEMENT .WHICH THEY DID. THIS THIRD TIME I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS THE SAME PROBLEM. I TOOK MY CAR TO MY REGULAR MECHANIC AND WAS SURPRISED TO FIND OUT THAT THE FUEL INJECTOR RAIL HAD FAILED ONCE AGAIN. I HAD THE WORK DONE BY HIM RATHER THAN TAKING IT TO DODGE.THEY DIDN'T FIX IT RIGHT THE LAST TIME AND WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH OUR CLOSEST DODGE DEALER . WE HAVE HAD TO TAKE OUR REPAIRS BACK BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT DONE RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. ALSO WE HAVE BEEN FACED WITH RUDE EMPLOYEES AND A SERVICE MANAGER THAT TOLD US MAYBE IF WE DID MORE BUSINESS WITH THEM WE WOULD BETTER SERVICE. DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAS TOLD ME THAT THEY WILL NOT RE-IMBURSE ME THIS TIME BECAUSE I DIDN'T USE A DODGE DEALER FOR THE REPAIR. DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE? IS THIS PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL RAIL FAILURE ON GOING? WILL I ONCE AGAIN IN TWO YEARS HAVE TO HAVE IT FIXED?*AK

WHEN DRIVING AT 40 TO 45 MPH VEHICLE WOULD START TO JERK, AND SOMETIMES STALL. GAS FUMES WERE IN CAR BAD AND CLOTHES SMELLED LIKE GAS. CONSUMER KEPT TAKING CARE BACK AND FORTH TO DEALER FOR OVER A YEAR. PRESENTLY, THERE WAS RECALL ON FUEL INJECTOR; BUT, THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED DUE TO VIN. *AK VALVE COVER GASKETES NEED MAJOR TUNE UP ACCORDING THE DIAGNOSTICS RESULT. ALSO, THE VEHICLE NEEDS FACTORY AIR TUBES. *YH

TOOK CAR IN FOR RECALL NOTICE ON SEAT. WHEN CAR FINISHED, SEAT MOTOR WILL NOT MOVE SEAT FORWARD OR BACKWARD. MOTOR ACTS AS IF NOT CONNECTED TO SOMETHING NOW.*AK

THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED SYMPTOMS OF RECALL 99V-215 AND WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR, THE CONSUMER IS NOT SATISFIED WITH RECALL 99V-215 BECAUSE HE HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. NLM

RACK AND PINION SNAPPED, CAUSING FAILURE OF POWERING STEERING. DEAELR WILL REPAIR VEHICLE AT OWNER'S EXPENSE. MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED.*AK THE STEERING FAILURE WAS SUDDEN AND THERE WAS A POP NOISE. *YH

THE FUEL RAIL "O" RINGS WERE REPLACED IN AN EARLIER RECALL AND THE NHTSA WEB SITE RECORDS THAT BOTH THE "O" RINGS AS WELL AS THE FUEL RAIL ARE PRONE TO FAILURE BUT THE DEALER INSISTS THAT ONLY THE "O" RINGS WERE REPLACED AND COVERED BY THE PREVIOUS RECALL. THIS IS SERIOUS AS IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ENGINE FIRE.
