OWN A '99 DODGE INTREPID THAT HAS COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE.. IT IS SUCH A RAMPANT PROBLEM IN THIS INDIVIDUAL VEHICLE THAT IT HAS IT'S OWN WEB PAGE --- //INTREPID.CLAN-510.ORG IF THAT ISN'T CASE ENOUGH FOR YOU TO PUT MORE PRESSURE ON DODGE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT THEN I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS ORGANIZATION EXISTS.. GO TO THE HYPERLINK THAT SHOWS THE ACTUAL LISTS WITH REPETITIVE COMPLAINTS & PROBLEMS!!! *NLM

AS WITH COMPLAINT #10003319, MY 1999 DODGE INTREPID EXPERIENCES BRAKE FAILURE WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW FREEZING. NOW THAT IT IS WARMER, I DON'T HAVE THE PROBLEM HOWEVER, THE BRAKES NOW DON'T RELEASE COMPLETELY WHEN PRESSURE IS REMOVED FROM PEDAL. *NLM

DODGE INTREPID 99,V6-2.7.ENGINE BREAKDOWN AT 80000K ON IT.NEED NEW ENGINE???????????

ALL 4 OF MY POWER WINDOWS HAVE FAILED TO WORK AND HAVE HAD THEIR MOTORS REPLACED AT LEAST ONCE. THE FIRST 5 TIMES WERE WITHIN MY WARRANTY AND NOW MY FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW HAS STOPPED WORKING AND IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. MY HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEM LOCKS UP ON OCCASION AND KEEPS THE HEATER FROM WORKING. DEALER HAS NEVER BEEN ABLE TO RECREATE PROBLEM SO CAN'T SERVICE. *JB

ABNORMAL PREMATURE CONSUMPTION OF OIL. FIRST NOTICED AROUND 40,000 MILES AND HAS STEADILY PROGRESSED TO CURRENT 1 QUART PER 1,500 MILE OF OIL CONSUMPTION AT 68,000 MILES. CHRYSLER REFUSED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND INDICATES THAT IT IS NORMAL FOR THEIR ENGINES TO BURN OIL. *NLM

1999 DODGE INTREPID, 5 STAR DEALER MAINTAINED HAS EXPERIENCED ENGINE FAILURE AT 60389 MILES. HAVE SPOKEN WITH MANY OTHERS THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. ACCORDING TO AN ENGINE REBUILD SHOP THE FAILURE IS CAUSED BY POOR DESIGN OF THE ENGINE. EXCESSIVE SLUDGE BUILDS UP AND EVENTUALLY STARVES THE ENGINE FOR OIL RESULTING IN BEARING FAILURE AND/OR BROKEN CONNECTING RODS. ANOTHER ENGINE REBUILDING SERVICE CLAIMS THAT REBUILDING IS A WASTE OF MONEY AND THE REBUILT ENGINE IS DOOMED TO FAILURE. *JB

CAR HEATER NOT OPERATING PROPERLY AND ENGINE FAN DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. *NLM

MY COOLING SYSTEM FAN MOTORS BOTH WENT OUT AND FROZE UP WITH ONLY 46000 MILES ON A 1999 DODGE INTREPID. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO THE PROBLEM I FOUND ON THE INTERNET THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR INTREPID'S. *NLM

OUR CAR FAILED TO START NORMALLY. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME OUR CAR WOULD TURN OVER AND OVER AND WOULD NOT START. I NOTICED THIS TIME ALL OF THE GAUGES AND DASHBOARD LIGHT WEREN'T WORKING EITHER. AFTER A NUMBER OF HOURS, WE TRIED ON AND OFF MANY TIMES, THE ENGINE FINALLY STARTED TO SPUTTER AND EVENTUALLY STARTED. *NLM

WE HAVE HAD OUR SEAT BELTS THAT HOLD OUR CHILD SEATS IN PLACE POP LOOSE SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE CHECKED AND RECHECKED THAT THE SEAT BELTS ARE LATCHED PROPERLY BUT ON OCCASION THEY POP LOOSE FOR NO REASON AT ALL. WE ARE VERY WORRIED THAT THE SEAT BELTS MAY NOT WORK IF WE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT. *NLM
