I bought this car thinking that the dodge intrepid was a great car and we have not had nothing but a nightmare with this car. I can not believe that a new car could have that many problems. We have a dodge truck that has over 200 thousand miles and never had this trouble. I have only once received a recall notice and I got that one after I called chrsler about it. No safety defect listed in the summary.

Seats- automatic seats. Where anchored to the floor, plastic pieces have been noticed laying in the seat tracks on both driver and passenger sides, worried about seats leaving tracks if there happens to be an accident. Head lights- way to dim for driving, especially if raining, also looks like the plastic cover is melting from lights being too hot also causing dimness. Air bag cover on passenger side dash board is warping, affraid it may explode for no reason causing a fatality. Abs - the light comes on for days then goes out for maybe a day then comes on again. Had them checked out and they say its fine but light continutes to come on.
When applying brakes the ABS light would come on, and vehicle would take longer to slow down. Dealer had to replace ABS.
Car has a rough downshift at a stop light. When the light turns green a slight touch on the gas pedal causes first a 2-3 second race of the engine then a sudden 10 foot lurch. I must stay a car length behind the car in front of me and keep my foot on the brake to avoid a crash . Dodge says I need a new transmission
