What 1993 Dodge Intrepid owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The driver's and passanger's seat will not sit up straight it lays back in rear seat.*ak also, the glove box latch failed and the front seat belts locks up.
Recal 99v215000/engine cradle: prior to receiving this recall notice vehicle experienced problem with repairs done on transaxle hub/welded chassis, and control arm. Dealer notified of engine cradle recall, and repairs were done. But dealer wanted to charge consumer for work done on suspension due to control arm breakage before this recall notice was received.
Recall 99v215/ engine cradle: the parts that are needed to perform recall repairs are not available. Dealer has been contacted several times.
The trunk lid seals and weather stripping leaking during rain and car washing. The blower door control motor makes a noise during vehicle turn-on and when selecting use of air conditioning, problem was identified during intiial warranty period w/ advanced service contract and was advised it was not a covered feature. The dash gauges and transmission fails to engage when car is started w/ the air bag light remaining illuminated, the transmission will not shift correctly while this occurrence is active and it is intermittent.
A gust of wind blew and trunk shut down. Consumer's hand was caught in the trunk. However, no injuries were sustained. The torsion springs that hold the trunk open have lost their tension and will no longer hold the lid open. The trunk lid must be propped open for safety.
Was backing out of driveway going approximately 3mph vehicle stopped short. Wheel hit wheel well. Checked vehicle & noticed frame & right axle had broken. Vehicle towed to body shop & frame was replaced.
The engine cradle frame cracked at the weld, which inturn ripped the front axle out from the wheel. I contacted chrysler, they said as a "good will" gesture they would pay for the axle, but that I should expect the frame to crack on car that old. The car has never been in any accidents and I feel that I was lucky that I diddn't loose control of the car and kill myself, my family or someone from on coming traffic since it was the left front wheel which came off.
Paint is coming off of trim around rear window.
While driving and making a turn, the front frame wells are bending ever time you have to turn the steering wheel.
