1999 DODGE INTREPID Complaints

AC FANS HAD TO BE REPLACED TWICE, REAR WINDOWS WON'T GO DOWN, DEALER REPLACED LIGHT SWITCH, BRAKES WEAR UNEVENLY AND SHUDDERS WHEN PRESSED, ALIGNMENT GOES EASILY, OIL DISAPPEARS WITH NO LEAKS OR NO SMOKE, BACK OF DRIVER'S SEAT COLLAPSES UNEXPECTEDLY. *NLM

THE SHIFT LEVER IS HARD TO SHIFT, AND IT IS OUT OF ALIGNMENT. WHEN I PUT THE SHIFT LEVER IN THE DRIVE MODE, IT STOPS IN 2ND GEAR, BUT THE INDICATOR ON THE DASH WILL SAY "D". RIGHT NOW IT'S FUNCTIONING, BUT IT CAN GO ANYTIME NOW. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THIS IS HAPPENING, AND HOW MUCH IT WILL COST TO FIX, AND BETTER YET WILL IT FALL UNDER MY SILVER WARRANTY PLAN.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AND NO WARNING THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AND IT WILL BE HARD FOR THE CONSUMER TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. DEALER NOTIFIED.*AK

THE AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR AND WE TOOK INTO DEALER TO SERVICE AND WERE TOLD THAT THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND THE A/C FAN AND THE RADIATOR FAN WERE SEIZED. THEY CANNOT TELL US WHY THIS WOULD HAPPEN ON A VEHICLE ONLY 4 YEARS OLD BUT COULD ONLY SAY THEY "SELL A LOT OF THESE FANS ON THESE VEHICLES AND THE STRATUS VEHICLES." THIS SOUNDS LIKE TO ME THAT IT IS A PROBLEM WITH A DEFECTIVE PART RATHER THAN SOMETHING THE CUSTOMERS SHOULD HAVE TO BUY "A LOT OF" ...

THE BRAKES SQUEAKED WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE BRAKES HAVE BEEN REPAIRED THREE TIMES IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS. *NLM

1999 DODGE INTREPID WITH 2.7L ENGINE 74960 MILES, OIL CHANGES EVERY 3000 MILES, AND NOW THE ENGINE HAS TO BE REPLACED. FOUND WEBSITES WITH A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WOULD BE $9000.00 TO REPLACE AND INSTALL NEW ENGINE, WHICH IS WORTH MORE THAN THE CAR. NEED MONEY TO FIX. CAR IS GOING TO SIT UNTIL SOMETHING IS DONE. DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE. JUST SEARCH THE INTERNET AND FIND HOW MANY PEOPLE THERE IS OUT THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *JB

I OWN A DODGE INTREPID THAT IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE ENGINE CEASED. I HAD IT TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP AND CALLED CHRYSLER WHO INFORMED ME THE WARRANTY EXPIRED, BUT WITH A FAIRY NEW CAR, I FEEL THE ENGINE SHOULD NOT HAVE WENT. THE ONLY WAY THEY WILL TALK TO ME ABOUT IT IS IF I TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP AT MY EXPENSE AND HAVE IT LOOKED AT. THIS IS AT A COST OF $500.00 AND THEY TOLD ME CHRYSLER MOST LIKELY WILL NOT PAY AND THAT I WOULD BE OUT THE MONEY AND HAVE A BASKET FULL OF PARTS. I FEEL THE COMPANY SHOULD STAND BY THEIR PRODUCTS AND TAKE SOME CONSIDERATION OF THE CUSTOMER. AS I STATED TO THEM :THEY HAVE MY $22,000.00 AND I HAVE NO WORKING CAR TO SHOW FOR IT. THIS CAR STOPPED AT A BUSY INTERSECTION PUTTING MY DAUGHTER WHO WAS DRIVING IN SERIOUS JEOPARDY. *NLM

WHILE DRIVING AND OBJECT FELL FROM THE DASH AND HIT THE SEAT BELT RELEASE BUTTON. AS A RESULT THE SEAT BELT RELEASED. *NLM

THE VEHICLE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION, IT ONLY WENT INTO 2 GEARS. *JB

WHILE DRIVING, MY 99 INTREPID LOSS POWER AND THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING A TERRIBLE KNOCKING SOUND. THE ENGINE TO MY CAR HAS DIED AT 95999 MILES. IT IS A SHAME. I HAVE ALWAY BEEN SUCH A BIG FAN OF CHRYSLER. I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF LOOKING FOR A MINIVAN TO TRADE THIS CAR IN FOR. NOW I STILL OWE MORE THAN $7000 ON THIS CAR AND STUCK WITH IT. I HAVE NO CLUE AS TO WHAT I AM GOING TO DO. I PRICED ENGINES. THEY RANGE FROM $3600-$4800 AND THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE LABOR. THE WORST PART IS I HAD MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR WHEN IT DIED. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT. ALSO THE STEERING MAKES A FUNNY KNOCKING SOUND WHEN I TURN. I AM NO LONGER A CHRYSLER FAN AND WILL MOST LIKELY NEVER OWN ANOTHER ONE. *NLM
