Little rock dodge was very rude when I took my 1993 dodge intrepid to them for a recall because the previous owner had already had it repaired they told me there was nothing they could do but I am still having problems from the repair although it is a life threatening repair, they were not willing to look at the vehicle.

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!

The mileage is a guess, it was 65 or 68000 when I bought it. The steering column shakes in my hand when car moves 10 MPH or more, doesnt seem to affect turning but does make it difficult to hold steady & feels dangerous; about 2-3 months after purchase, all interior lights, cruise,tbl indicators wont go off unless disconnt batt. Had to remove bulbs to get emer indicators to wk; hdlights vry dim & wipers malfunction when rain is heavy on hdlites; also can see drops of fuel on top of engine while running but no fires so far. Can I get them to fix or am I out of all the money or should I get rid of car because tbls may return. Now they are constant everyday all the time
