1994 intrepid stalls when driving or at stop light. *ts the vehicle would stall while sitting at stop lights, slowing down to stop or while driving on the interstate. When the vehicle stalled the check engine light illuminated. On one occasion the vehicle couldn't even be started and it had to be towed tot he dealer. The problem was the coating around the wiring.
Bought car in 2001, with 69,000 miles. 2 days after purchase, gauges stopped working, car ran fine, no noise, etc. Intermittent problem. Dealer could not duplicate. Happened while driving past dealer, stopped and they checked for codes, none found. Happened again, dealer had code for airbag module this time, replaced part. Problem is still intermittent. 2003, driving at 75 MPH on highway, car stalled, no restart. Towed to dealer, they replaced timing belt and water pump. Also had brake rotors and pads replaced at 72,000. They were done at 55,000 also. Replaced tie rod ends 2004 at 97,000. They had been replaced a week before purchase at 68,500. Passenger airbag cover warped, I fear it may fail in accident.
Dt: the contact states there is a the federal safety agency recall campaign 94v024000 concerning the electrical system wiring. This vehicle is experiencing the same problems as indicated in the recall, but it is not included in the recall due to VIN.

Vehicle shuts off without warning. *ph while driving the vehicle suddenly stalled. On other occasion the vehicle would not start but the next day the vehicle started up immediately. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but they were unable to identify the problem. The consumer was told of a recall (94v‑024) related to the wiring harness which also caused stalling.
Car fire completely destroyed vehicle.
Same as I have seen on the site, the 1994 dodge intrepid is stopping while in motion. At first, it would start again immediately, then after a few moments, then hours.. And now it is up to not starting at all. We have replaced several parts and nothing seems to make a difference. Do you have any idea what the problem can be? Please email with ideas..
Consumer states her switch for her headlights burned completely up- she states she could smell it burning. Mr
At 60mph, vehicle jerked into low gear and all of communication gauges lit up before vehicle stalled. Vehicle was inspected two weeks ago for same problem. Vehicle has been to two dealers and neither one can find the cause. *ak
