Cruise control light goes on in dash and car just suddenly stalls. This usually happens at all speeds and lately has stalled on highway at speeds in excess of 60 MPH. This happens for no known reason. I've had this problem checked by a mechanic and he cannot find any reading on the computer that would indicate any problems. This car was manufactured after a similar recall on this car back in 1993 for a transmission harness failure. I'm wondering if there is anyone out there that is encountering the same problems with this particular model vehicle. It's extremely dangerous to stall in the middle of a freeway while traveling in excess of 65mph, especially at night.
Consumer contacted dealer, bob bost dealer in bradenton ,florida, several times for recall 99v215000/ manufacturer's recall 837. But, dealer could not perform recall repairs without a special tool which dealer was unable to obtain from manufacturer. Meantime, consumer was driving an unsafe vehicle.
Transmission froze at 55 MPH 1998 replaced still problems???, electronic control module went while in drive at 35mph, front tie rods replaced 2 times within a year, airconditioner went within 4 years, cooling system replaced within 4 years from manufactured date, ABS module failed during driving on highway and again in city limits after dealer stressed that nothing was wrong with anti lock brakes I have had this car in the shop for major not minor repairs since the manufactured date at least 15 times and can prove each time. I am appauled that america can manufactur such a vehicle with all the major issues at hand, transmission, suspension,electrical,braking systems,fuel,airbags,structural, I wish there was someone who could address these issues with the manufacturer and get us all restitution. If it means legally or consumer agencies I am interested. I drive with 2 children and during the transmission, electrical and the ABS failures they were in the car. I would like some type of a reply from them if at all possible. Thank you for the website and the opportunity to be heard.
While my husband was driving down a local street at approx. 25 MPH, the car started making a funny sound all of a sudden then the car shut off. We later had the car towed to the dealership in our neighborhood who informed us that the engine was ruined without even looking at the car. We asked the dealership how this could've happened when we had scheduled oil changes with them on time. The car was there with them less than 30 dyas prior to the engine blow-out. The dealership coulnot give us an expalanation of what caused the engine t blow on a vehicle that had less than 70,000 miles.there was no warning such as oil leaks or smoke from burning oil even though we were informed that there was no oil in the car when it was given to them.no explanation given as to where 5 quarts of oil went from the scheduled oil change on 5/8/00 at their dealership. The total cost to us was $2165.00 which the dealer stated was the best they could do for us. They felt it was no fault of their's and we felt and still do that it was something that they did or didnot do during the oil change.

While riding along the highway he smelled and saw smoke. After opening the hood, there was fire on the top of the engine block.
When turning on the engine all lights will come on, and engine will start shaking. There was no sign of what could be causing this problem.
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.
