1994 Dodge Intrepid engine problems

Filed Mar 24, 2008 · Engine · OH

I recently purchased a used 94 dodge intrepid from pa in dec 2007. A few weeks later the car suddenly stalled while driving on an extremely busy road and almost caused several accidents to it shutting off in the middle of a 40 MPH road. The car didn't restart and had to be towed to a mechanic. This incident is just one example from many. Over the past 3 months I have been told it was the fuel pump, starter, a sensor, some sort of tube, catalytic converter and all sorts of things,which of course did not solve my problem. I have invested over $1,000 to try and repair the problem. It was not until today 3/24/2008 that while researching my car on the internet that I found the recall. I called both the dealership and manufacturer and because my VIN wasn't apart of the recall I was told I could not be helped. So now what do I do. I 'm a single mother of a small child, I work and go to school. I can not afford to continue to give out hundreds of dollars and stop going to work or school because my car isn't reliable. I cannot afford to become stranded due to this problem. So please, please find a way to help those who really need your help in this matter.

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.

I was in parking garage at jfk airport. When I started car and put it into gear, the car shot forward and crashed into concrete barrier and pillar. The airbags never deployed and the braking did not slow it down. The car was totalled and the travelers insurance has offered $2275 less the $500 deductible.
