45,500 MILES AND TOLD SLUDGE BUILD UP IN ENGINE. MECHANIC WANTED $6K FOR ENGINE REPLACEMENT. PAID $800 FOR NEW TENSIONS, TOLD ENGINE CAN SEIZE AT ANY TIME. HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW CAR AFTER ONLY 4 YEARS!!!!!!!!

I HAVE A 1999 DODGE INTREPID WITH THE COMMON BLOWN 2.7L ENGINE. ONLY 46,000 MILES. AFTER RESEARCH IT SEEM THERE ARE COMMON PROBLEMS WITH THIS ENGINE AND YET NOTHING IS DONE. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MANUFACTURER STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. *PH

TRANSMISSION GOES INTO LIMP MODE IN SECOND GEAR .DRIVER WINDOW OFF TRACK BACK WINDOW WORKS WHEN IT GET READY ANDENGINE LIGHT COMES WHEN IT GET READY SEAT BELT RETRACTS SOMETIME I BELIEVE MY CAR IS FALLING APART. *AK

1999 DODGE INTREPID ENGINE SEIZED AT ONLY 5600 MILES. THE DEALER SAID THAT THERE IS A SLUDGE BUILD UP IN THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD FROM AT LEAST 10 DIFFERENT AUTO SHOPS THAT THE 2.7 LITER DODGE ENGINE IS POORLY MADE AND THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THIS SAME PROBLEM TIME AND TIME AGAIN. IT RUNS WAY TOO HOT AND IF YOU DON'T CHANGE THE OIL EVERY 1500 MILES OR SO, SLUDGE WILL BUILD UP IN THE ENGINE AND CAUSE SEIZURE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS 2.7 ENGINE OR A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AGAINST DODGE.*AK

THIS IS FOR MY MOTHER. MY MOTHER PURCHASED A 1999 DODGE INTREPID NEW AT INTEGRITY CHRYSLER,PLYMOUTH, DODGE. THE COMPLAINT IS THAT SHE WENT TOO TURN THE CORNER AND HER FRONT END LOCKED UP. IT TURNED OUT THAT THE RACK & PINION SNAPPED IN TWO. MY MOTHERS CAR ONLY HAS 14,460 MILES ON IT. SHE TOOK THE CAR TOO THE DEALERSHIP (WHICH IS NOW CALLED GROGANS TOWNE CHRYSLER) SHE TOLD THEM THAT SHE HAD A WARRANTY WITH $100.00 DEDUCTIBLE. THE WARRANTY WAS THROUGH A COMPANY CALLED PROTECTIVE. GROGANS CLAIMED THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY INFORMATION ON THIS AND CHARGED HER $1251.54. SHE DUG OUT HER CONTRACT AND SHOWED THEM , IT DIDN'T DO ANY GOOD, SHE ALSO CALLED PROTECTIVE AND THEY SAID THAT SHE MAY OR MAY NOT RECEIVE ANY OR POSSIBLY A PARTIAL OF HER MONEY BACK. SOMEBODY'S NOT WARRANTING THERE WARRANTY AND TAKING ADVANTAGE OF MY MOTHER. ALL SHE WANTS IS HER MONEY BACK.*AK

THE CONSUMER STATED THE HEADLIGHT LENSES HAD A THICK FILM OVER THEM, WHICH CAUSED IMPAIRED VISION. DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK IT WAS NOT MOISTURE ON THEM, BUT IT APPEARED THAT THE PLASTIC HAD GOTTEN CLOUDY INSIDE. THE PROBLEM WAS ESPECIALLY HARD WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT AND A REAL PROBLEM IN THE RAIN. *SCC *JB

DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW MOTOR FAILED AND AS A RESULT THE WINDOW WOULD NOT ROLL DOWN. *AK

THIS IS A 1999 DODGE INTREPID, THAT I HAVE HAD PLENTY OF PROBLEMS OUT OF. THIS WAS PURCHASED AT 29,569 MILES, 10/99. JAN 2000 THE INNER SENSOR WENT OUT, REPLACED BY DEALER UNDER WARRANTY. JULY 2000 THE OUTER SENSOR WENT OUT, REPLACED BY DEALER NOT UNDER WARRANTY PER MILAGE AT TIME. AUG 2000 THE PASSENGER FAN WENT OUT, REPLACED BY DEALER AT A COST OF $500. SENSE THEN REPLACED BRAKES OFTEN, BURN LOTS OF OIL AND PLENTY OF HESITATION FROM THE TRANSMISSION. BUT MY OTHER BIGGEST PROBLEM IS THE WINDOW MOTOR,THAT HAS GONE OUT IN THE PASSENGER WINDOW TWICE AND NOW THE DRIVER WINDOW HAS COMPLETELY FAIL APART. YOU HERE NOTHING BUT NOISE WHEN CLOSING THE DOOR, CANNOT LET THE WINDOW UP AND DOWN WITHOUT ITS SOUNDING LIKE ITS GOING TO BREAK FROM POPPING LIKE ITS GETTING CAUGHT ON SOMETHING. MOST OF THE TIME YOU HAVE TO PULL IT UP BY HAND IN ORDER TO GET IT TO CLOSE COMPLETELY. HAS THEIR BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ITEM? *AK

GEAR SHIFT CAN BE MOVED FROM PARK TO DRIVE WITHOUT A KEY BEING IN THE IGNITION.*AK
