1993 DODGE INTREPID Complaints

WHILE WASHING MY VEHICLE, WAS SCRUBBING TIRES WHEN I NOTICED A BULGE/BLISTER ON MY LEFT REAR TIRE, ON THE SIDEWALL. IT WAS LOCATED IN THE MIDDLE OF TPC, AND THEN THE TIRE SIZE. I NOTIFIED GOODYEAR OF THIS PROBLEM, AND THEY INSTRUCTED ME TO LOCATE THE NEAREST GOODYEAR RETAILER THAT DOES ADJUSTMENTS. THIS TIRE HAD APPROXIMATELY 20,000 MILES ON IT, AND WAS 2 YRS. OLD. THIS TIRE REPLACED ANOTHER ONE OF THE SAME MAKE, THAT ALSO DEVELOPED THE SAME PROBLEM, SAME AREA. HAD I HAVE KNOWN.....! THIS TIRE CAME AS OEM WHEN THE CAR WAS BOUGHT IN '93, AND THIS IS THE ONLY TIRE I'VE RUN ON THE CAR....BUT NOW? GOODYEAR PRORATED THE TIRE, OUT THE DOOR AT $94.00. I WAS SHOWN WHERE THE BELTS ON THE SIDEWALL HAD SEPARATED, WITH THE TIRE BEING SENT TO NPSC. TIRE SIZE IS P225/60/R16. *JB

WHILE SHIFTING THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE, A LOUD CLANKING NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE ON ITS OWN. THE DRIVER WILL CONTACT A DEALER FOR A APPOINTMENT. PLEASE FILL IN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *JB

HEADLIGHTS LENSES BECOME DARK RESULTING IN POOR NIGHTIME VISIBILITY, BOTH WITH HIGH BEAMS AND LOW BEAMS ACTIVATED. THE CONDITION LEADS TO DRIVER FATIGUE. THE HEADLIGHTS NEED TO BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF APPROXIMATELY $120 PER LIGHT.*AK

CONSUMER STATED WHEN PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN GEAR THE TRANSMISSION SPUN BEFORE GOING INTO GEAR. THIS HAPPENED FOR AT LEAST 3 MONTHS. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO A TRANSMISSION MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. *AK *NM

WHILE WORKING ON THE VEHICLE THE CONSUMER FOUND THAT THE BRAKE LINE WAS SEVERELY RUSTED. THE BRAKE LINE RUPTURED IN SEVERAL PLACES AND WAS LEAKING BRAKE FLUID. *AK

CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM FUEL RAIL LEAK. IT WAS LEAKING ON BOTH THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AND DRIVER'S SIDE. A CURRENT RECALL WAS ISSUED ON THIS PROBLEM. HOWEVER, CONSUMER WANTED TO KNOW WHY DEALERSHIP WAS ONLY CORRECTING ONE SIDE AND NOT THE OTHER. THIS COULD CAUSE A FIRE. *AK

CONSUMER SMELLED GAS FUMES . THIS PROBLEM WAS SIMILAR TO THE DEFECT STATED IN NHTSA RECALL 98V184000 CONCERNING FUEL LEAKAGE. MANUFACTURER ONLY AUTHORIZED THE DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE THE O-RINGS, BUT NOT THE OUTLET. CONSUMER WAS AFRAID THAT THE BAD OUTLET MIGHT CAUSE A VEHICLE FIRE.*AK

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING WHICH FORCED THE CONSUMER TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. THE DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES BUT COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *NLM

AFTER THE LOWER CONTROL ARM RECALL WAS PERFORMED, THERE WAS A POPPING NOISE FROM THE CV JOINT THAT WASN'T OCCURRING PRIOR TO RECALL REPAIRS. *AK

I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED.THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND SHUDDERS I FEEL THE DODGE CORP SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THE ULTRADRIVE TRANSMISSION AS IT IS A {LEMON} .*AK I NOW NEED TO PURCHASE A REBUILT TRANSMISSION AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND ARE NOW EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE EXTERIOR PAINT CORODING, THE CONSTANT SMELL OF GASOLINE INSIDE THE CAR, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR-BAG IS BUCKLING, AND THE LIST GOES ON!
