Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
While driving the vehicle stalled without warning which forced the consumer to pull off the road. The dealer inspected the vehicle several times but could not find anything wrong with the vehicle. Please provide further information.
I have a 1993 dodge intrepid 3.3l v6. The engine will stop running at any speed usually after a brief warm up. Some times the engine will stop only for a moment (less than 1 second) then come right back on. When it quits for more than a second, the ignition switch must be turned off then the car can be restarted. This has happened probably more than 100 times over the last 4 years. I have taken the auto to a dealer and independent repair shop, spent several hundred dollars and have yet to been able to identify the problem. Its very unsettling to be travelling at 65 MPH and the engine stops!
I purchased a 1993 dodge intrepid from a used car lot. 2 days later the car started smoking when going down a hill. Then the brake lights began to stick I have to pull up on the pedal to get them to go off and the steering wheel pops when going around a curve. Now the car sits at a repair shop needing a transmission because the drive and reverse gears failed leaving me with a bill of 800-2000 to repair it. I believe if the manufacturers would've done their job right in the beginning alot more people would be proud to own a dodge!
Vehicle failed emission control due to leaking egr valve . Dealership repaired egr valve two years ago. But, problem still exists.
Engine blew up, replacement overheating due to bad water pump, replaced it.
While driving vehicle completely shutsdown without warning. Shortly after vehicle sits for 25-30 minutes it restarts. Please give any further details.
Car overheats chronically, since I got it. I have had radiator flushed, hoses replaced, fluid composition and levels replaced. Car is not driven under duress. Have been told chrysler had difficulty properly cooling the 3.5 ltr engine. Is that true?
While the consumer was checking the oil he accidentally stuck the dip stick not in the tube but along side where there is a gap opening and contacted an electrical line which caused a spark, this maybe a design problem which could have resulted in fire.
Tensioner failed and water pump seized. Nlm
