HAD TO REPLACE THE AXEL AND CV JOINT . NOW I HAVE SOME PROBLEMS WITH ALLIGNMENT AND IT IS MAKING A CLICKING NOISE WHEN I GO FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. *AK

THREE YEAR OLD CHILD SHIFTED THE CAR FROM PARK WITHOUT KEYS IN THE IGNITION, WITHOUT BRAKING, AND WITHOUT PRESSING RELEASE BUTTON ON GEAR SHIFT. THE CAR BEGAN ROLLING DOWN A SLIGHT HILL WITH A TWO YEAR OLD GIRL HANGING FROM THE CAR NEAR THE FRONT TIRE. MOTHER RUNNING TO THE CAR, WAS RUN OVER BY THE ROLLING CAR WHILE TRYING TO PROTECT HER CHILDREN. CAR CRASHED INTO A FIRE HYDRANT HALTING RUN AWAY VEHICLE. AFTER THE INCIDENT WAS OVER, OWNERS CONFIRMED THAT CAR SHIFTS FROM PARK WITH THE SLIGHTEST TOUCH OF THE GEAR SHIFT (WITHOUT DEPRESSING BUTTON).*AK

TRANSMISSION WILL SLIP, AND AT TIMES VEHICLE SHUT OFF. CONSUMER HAS HAD TRANSMISSION REPLACED, BUT PROBLEM STILL OCCURS.*AK

VEHICLE WILL INTREMITTENTLY STALL OUT WHILE CONSUMER IS DRIVING VEHICLE. WILL HAPPEN AT ANY SPEED. CONTACTED DEALER, WHO IS NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING.*AK

I CALLED AND REPORTED THE PROBLEMS WITH THE TIRE ROD ENDS, I JUST ADDED MORE TO THE LIST OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR. I AM TRYING TO OTHER OWNERS OF DODGE INTREPIDS WITH IDENTICAL PROBLEMS TO ALSO CALL AND REPORT THESE PROBLEMS SO SOMETHING WILL BE DONE.*AK

SINCE PURCHASE IN 2000, FRONT SUSPENSION PROBLEMS, DEALER ONLY OFFERED BOOT, NOT REPLACEMENT OF WHOLE AXLE. MECHANIC SAID BOOT WOULD NOT FIX PROBLEM. AIR CONDITIONER WENT OUT IN 2001, WHILE TRAVELING, COST $500 TO REPLACE PLUS RENTAL. IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED IN 2002, DUE TO NOT OPERATING PROPERLY. COULD NOT REMOVE KEY. COST AROUND $150 TO REPAIR. NOW, THERE IS A STRONG SMELL OF GAS IN THE CAR, WHILE IN USE. MPG SEEMS TO BE LOWER THAN SHOULD BE. THIS IS MY 3RD INTREPID AND THE ONLY ONE I HAVE HAD EXCESSIVE PROBLEMS WITH.*AK

THE HEADLIGHTS IN THE CAR ARE ONE COMPONENT, WHICH THERE IS NO WAY OF CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE LENSES. OVER TIME THEY GET A CLOUDY EFFECT WHICH DULLS THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE HEADLIGHTS. THE CAR I HAVE JUST PURCHASE HAS THIS PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLIGHTS, WHICH IS A 1995 INTREPID. IF THESE HEADLIGHTS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE AIRTIGHT WHICH NO MOISTURE IS TO GET IN THEN I THINK IT IS THE MAKER OF THIS PRODUCT OR OF THE CAR MANUFACTURES TO REPLACE THESE HEADLIGHTS.THE COST OF THESE LIGHTS IS A OUTRAGES PRICE AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE PAID BY THE CONSUMER. YOU WILL PROBABLY SAY IT IS BECAUSE OF THE YEAR OF THE CAR AND THAT PARTS WEAR OUT . THE PRICE OF SOME PARTS IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN A CAR IS RETARDED , BUT THAT COMES WITH OWNING A VEHICLE. I DO NOT THINK THAT THIS PART SHOULD FALL UNDER THE SAME CATEGORY . WITH THE WAY THE HEADLIGHTS ARE I THINK IT IS A SAFETY PROBLEM, IT INPAIRS YOUR VISION BECAUSE OF THE DULLNESS OF THE LIGHTS. I JUST SOLD A 1989 CULTLASS CIERA WHICH HAD BRIGHTER HEADLIGHTS THEN THIS CAR.*AK
