1995 DODGE INTREPID Complaints

INNER STEERING BUSHING REPLACED NOW THE STEERING RACK KNOCKING AND NOT TURNING TO RIGHT. *TR

FACTORY STRUTS(SUSPENSION) ARE INADEQUATE TO SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE. MY STRUT MOUNT/PLATE &BOLTS BROKE AT 55 MILE PER HOUR & THE STRUT WENT THROUGH THE STRUT HOUSING/PLATE. THE STEERING/SUSPENSION SYSTEM IS COMPLETELY AFFECTED WHEN THE STRUTS BEGIN TO FAIL ON ALL VEHICLES. WHEN STRUTS FAIL SPRINGS ALSO FAIL CAUSING EVEN MORE STRESS ON THE OTHER STEERING/SUSPENSION PARTS(ALL BUSHINGS, TIE RODS. CONTROL ARMS, BALL JOINTS, CV JOINTS, TRANSAXLE, SWAY BAR. I HOPE IM MAKING SENSE, THIS NEEDS SERIOUS EXAMINATION AS CLUNK/ BUMP NOISES EVERY INTREPID ARE BAD STRUTS OR BAD STRUT MOUNT/BOLTS WHICH IMMEDIATELY INDICATE YOUR SUSPENSION/STEERING SYSTEM IS BEING BANGED UP. THE INNER TIE ROD BOLTS IN STEERING RACK BACK OUT OR TRY TO DUE TO TORN BUSHINGS IN THE INNER TIE RODS AT THE STEERING RACK CENTER. THESE BUSHINGS TEAR DUE TO WORN STRUTS THAT PUT STRESS ON TIE RODS SWAY BAR& STEERING RACK MOUNT BUSHINGS BOTH COMPRESS WITH THE EXTRA STRESS OF FAILING STRUTS. STEERING RACK SHIFTS DUE TO BAD INNER TIE ROD BUSHINGS CAUSING PLAY IN YOUR TIE RODS AND THE STEERING RACK MOUNT BUSHINGS NOW COMPRESSED CAUSE THE RACK TO SHIFT ALSO. SAME WITH SWAY BAR BUSHINGS&ANY OTHER SUSPENSION PARTS AND STEERING WHEN THIS HAPPENS SUCH AS INNER TIE RODS, OUTER TIE RODS, CV JOINTS, TRANSAXLE, BALL JOINTS,ALL BUSHINGS,LINKAGES,MOUNTS,CRADLE CAR WAS BUILT DEFECTIVELY AS THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE IS TOO MUCH FORCE FOR THE STRUTS THAT COME FACTORY INSTALLED. THERE NEEDS TO BE AN IMMEDIATE CALL BACK ON THE STRUTS WITH A SERVICE ORDER TO EXAMINE AND REPAIR TORN OR COMPRESSED BUSHINGS IN THE INNER TIE RODS/STEERING RACK MOUNTING/SWAY BAR/BALL JOINT/CONTROL ARM/OUTER TIE ROD/ALONG WITH ANY DAMAGE TO THE CV JOINT&TRANSAXLES DUE TO THE DESIGN DEFECT USING INADEQUATE STRUTS FOR THE VEHICLES WEIGHT! THIS MAY SEEM LIKE AN EXTREME REQUEST BUT SINCE THEY WERE NEGLIGENT TO NEVER REPORT THE INADEQUACY OF THE STRUTS VS DESIGN IN ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON STEERING/SUSPENSION A RECALL IS IN ORDER. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAD THE USUAL FILTER, AND FLUID CHANGES AND BEGAN TO SLIP AND NOW THE TRANSMISSION IS OUT. THE FLUID IN IT IS STILL CLEAN. CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT WOULD JUST GO OUT LIKE THAT. THIS ISN'T THE FIRST PROBLEM I HAVE HAD. ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE RACK-N-PINION ON IT. THE BOLT HOLDING IT TOGETHER CAME OUT WHILE DRIVING IT. *TR

GAS FUMES ARE ENTERING THE COCKPIT OF THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. I NOTICED GASOLINE SETTING ON TOP OF THE TRANSMISSION HOUSING UNDER THE HOOD. I BELIEVE IT IS A FUEL RAIL PROBLEM OR O RING PROBLEM CAUSING THE LEAKAGE. I AM TAKING IT IN TO A DEALER TODAY TO HAVE IT CHECKED. *TR

1995 DODGE INTREPID HAD A SAFETY RECALL- FUEL RAIL LEAK - CUSTOMER PAID OUT OF POCKET LOOKING FOR REIMBURSEMENT**CC THE CONSUMER STATED HE NOTICED GASOLINE LEAKING FROM THE VEHICLE YEARS PRIOR TO THE RECALL BEING ISSUED. THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS INOPERABLE, THE DEALER REPLACED THE TRANSDUCER. *JB

CONSUMER COMPLAINT CONCERNING THE SAFETY RECALL ON THE 1995 DODGE INTREPID FUEL RAIL O-RINGS. *TS IT TOOK THE DEALER ALMOST TEN YEAR TO FIGURE OUT WHY THE VEHICLE CONSTANTLY HAD A FUEL SMELL. THE CONSUMER REQUEST REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE REPAIRS MADE OVER THE YEARS RELATED TO THE FUEL SYSTEM. *NM

LEFT FRONT WHEEL BEARING AND AXLE, LEFT AND RIGHT OUTER TIE RODS, FRONT RIGHT BALL JOINT, STRUT ROD BUSHINGS, WINDSHIELD WIPER BEARINGS, LEFT FRONT DOOR LOCK DOESN'T WORK, LEFT FRONT WINDOW WON'T LET DOWN AND ROOF PAINT. *JB

I WAS INVOLVED IN A 45 MPH SIDE COLLISION WITH A POLE AFTER HYDROPLANING AND MY VEHICLE BURST INTO FLAMES KILLING MY 15 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER 3 YEARS AGO. MY LAWYERS SAY IT WAS WHAT THEY BELIEVE WAS A DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE OR A BAD DESIGN. *NM

DT: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE FELL OFF THE VEHICLE. HAD THE INNER AND OUTER TIE RODS REPLACED TWICE. DID ONE REPLACEMENT BEFORE THE TIRE FELL OFF. THE SECOND REPLACEMENT WAS DONE AFTER THE TIRE CAME OFF. THE REPLACEMENTS DID NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM. WHILE DRIVING IT FELT AS THOUGH THE WHEELS WERE FALLING OFF. WHEN HITTING A BUMP WHILE DRIVING THERE WAS A SNAPPING NOISE FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. ANOTHER CONCERN WAS THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. ONLY ONE HEADLIGHT WILL WORK ON BRIGHT AND ONLY ONE WILL WORK ON DIM. THE CONTACT REPLACED BOTH BULBS IN THE HEADLIGHTS, BUT THIS DID NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM. HE CHECKED THE FUSES, AND THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS WITH THEM. ALSO, THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH FELL OFF WITHOUT BEING HIT OR KNOCKED OFF. *AK

DT: THE CALLER HAD RECALL 2C45182 WORK DONE ON AUGUST 17, 2005. TWO DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT SHIFTED ITSELF INTO REVERSE AND STALLED IN TRAFFIC. DEALER SAID SHE WILL HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT TOWED AND REPAIRED. DEALER SAID THEY WONT EVEN LOOK AT IT UNTIL SHE PAID.. SHE SAID SHE HAD NO TROUBLE BEFORE THE RECALL WORK WAS DONE. MANUFACTURER SAID TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER. *AK
