RACK AND PINION ISSUES. ISSUES WITH FRONT WHEELS AND STEERING. I'VE HAD IT FIXED THREE TIMES, VERY EXPENSIVE. I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, WHEN THE STEER STOPPED CONTROLLING THE WHEELS. I'M GRATEFUL I WASN'T ON THE FREE WAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 DODGE INTREPID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY WOULD BECOME STUCK IN THE IGNITION SPORADICALLY AND THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO ABRUPTLY SHIFT INTO PARK.

DODGE TRANSMISSION ON INTREPIDS, CARAVANS, AND NEONS HAVE A HISTORY OF FAILING AND NEEDING TO BE REPLACED OR REBUILT. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 55800 MILES ON IT ALL ORIGINAL. EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS 15 YEARS OLD IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN MAINTAINED SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED FROM THE DEALER BRAND NEW IN 1995. I BELIEVE THAT IF DODGE IS NOT HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PROBLEMS THEN SOMEONE CAN SERIOUSLY GET INJURED FROM THEM. WHETHER IT BE FROM THE TRANSMISSION FAILING ON THE HIGHWAY AND CAUSING ACCIDENTS OR SOMETHING BREAKING WHILE JUST DRIVING AND CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN MY CAR JUST DIED. I DIDN'T GET ANY FLASHING LIGHTS, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANYTHING. IT WAS AS IS SOMEONE HAD TURNED THE CAR OFF WITH OUT MOVING THE KEY FROM THE ON POSITION. ONCE I COME TO A STOP, I CAN SIT FOR A LITTLE BIT AND THEN THE CAR WILL START BACK UP AS IF NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. I HAVE RECENTLY HAD A FEW ISSUES WITH SOME OTHER THINGS THAT WERE RESOLVED BY REPLACING THE IGNITION SWITCH BUT IT DIDN'T SEEM TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I TOOK THE CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP AND HAD THE DIAGNOSTICS RAN ON IT BUT IT DIDN'T COME BACK WITH ANY CODES. I OFTEN DRIVE WITH MY WIFE AND KIDS IN THE CAR SO NOW I FEAR THAT THIS MAY CAUSE US TO GET IN A WRECK. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 DODGE INTREPID. WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 40 MPH THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD POP AND SUDDENLY THE POWER STEERING STOPPED FUNCTIONING. THE CONTACT HAD MINIMAL CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY INFORMED HIM THAT THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AND THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS RELATED TO THE POWER STEERING FOR HIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 195000.

I HAVE A 1995 DODGE INTREPID. UNTIL 4 MONTHS AGO, IT NEVER HAD A PROBLEM, ONLY DID ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND THAT WAS CONSTANTLY DONE. IT HAS A NEW TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR (UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY), AND NEW STARTER, ALTERNATOR, AND BATTERY. THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED ABOUT 2-3 YEARS AGO. FOUR MONTHS AGO, THE CAR STARTED TO ACT UP. FIRST, I NOTICED A "BURNT OIL OR ANTI-FREEZE" SMELL. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC, WHO I HAVE HAD FOR MORE THAN 15 YEARS. HE COULDN'T FIND ANY LEAKS OR PROBLEMS AND REMINDED ME THAT ALL THE HOSES AND ACCESSORIES WERE REPLACE A YEAR BEFORE. HE SAID THAT HE SAW NOTHING DRIPPING OR BUILDING UP ANYWHERE. A WEEK LATER, I WOULD DRIVE IT SOMEWHERE, GET OUT AND DO WHATEVER IT WAS I NEEDED TO DO, GO BACK AND IT WOULDN'T START. EVERYTHING SOUNDS NORMAL, LIKE IT WANTS TO START, BUT DOESN'T. IF I WAIT 30-90 MINUTES AND TRY AGAIN, IT WILL START RIGHT UP AND A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON, BUT GO BACK OFF WITHIN A FEW MINUTES. A MONTH LATER THINGS GOT WORSE. IT STARTED TO DIE WHILE DRIVING. I WOULD BE IN THE CAR FOR LESS THAN 10 MILES AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH WOULD "FLASH" AND THE CAR WOULD DIE. IT TAKES BETWEEN 2-3 HOURS BEFORE GETTING IT TO RESTART WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS PUTS ME IN SERIOUS DANGER AS THE CAR NO LONGER HAS POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES AND I LIVE ON A MOUNTAIN WITH NO WHERE I CAN GET OFF THE ROAD. I HAVE NEARLY BEEN HIT/KILLED WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED. SINCE THEN, I CAN'T GO 1 MILE WITHOUT IT DYING OR NOT START AGAIN. AS A MATTER-OF-FACT, IF I LEAVE IT IDLING IN MY DRIVEWAY, IT WILL DIE WITH 2-4 MINUTES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY SHOP 4 TIMES AND 2 OTHER ONES TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG. THEY ALL SAY THAT SINCE THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT ONLY FLASHES AND THEN GOES OFF, THE COMPUTER CAN'T CATCH THE PROBLEM. SOMETIMES THEY THINK IT IS THE FUEL PUMP OR FUEL LINES; SOMETIMES THEY THINK IT IS ELECTRICAL; MOST OF THE TIME THEY JUST HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS WRONG! *TR
