What 1995 Dodge Intrepid owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Car stalls on left hand turns, in reverse. Cruise control engages by it self at will. Gets stuck in fourth gear. Have replaced power train control module and cam sensor. Mechanic said computer no longer puts out error codes. Paid 1000. So far and mechanic still has no idea what's wrong with it.
Vehicle will idle roughly. Dealership informed consumer that right fuel rail is leaking, causing this defect. Left fuel rail was replaced along with o-ring when recall 98v184000 was repaired. Dealership says that current defect is not related to any previous defect. Consumer complaint is that both fuel rails should have been replaced when recall was performed. Please provide any additional information/attachments.
While driving with crusie control activated vehicle completely shutdown without warning, cause unknown.
Sudden acceleration whenever vehicle is turned on and remained on. Vehicle been to several independent repair shops, and was unable to resolve the problem. Notified dealer, who, in turn, informed consumer that they may or may not correct the problem, but it will cost approximately $590.00 for them to try.
There were 3 problems relating to automatic transmission; 1) while stopping at an intersection and then proceding to cross, the car wouldn't go forward. The transmission line had come off and all the transmission fluid had sprayed across the driver's side of the car. The transmission line was fixed at a dodge dealership. 2) two weeks later, while driving 65mph on a highway, the car started to shake and the engine was racing out of control. The transmission kept surging in and out of gear and we pulled the car off the shoulder right before the car wouldn't shift at all. Again the transmission line had come off and all the transmission fluid had spilled out. We had another dodge dealership install a new transmission line. 3) a week later, the transmission would not shift into reverse unless the car was shifted into drive then back to reverse several times. While driving the car, it would shug along in and out of gear until it decided to shift into the correct gear. We ended up getting the transmission rebuilt. Several transmission shops that we went to for estimates said that they see an unusually high number of chrysler products (even 1998 models) that required the transmission to be rebuilt. We spent $1,500 in having the transmission rebuilt and in time and $ lost to fixing the first two transmission problems. We have taken excellent care of this car and believe that the transmission should last the life of the car . This problem should be investigated, as there are design engineering problems in the chrysler transmissions.
When driving at any type of speed vehicle is stalling, not getting enough gas. Vehicle idles and won't move. Dealer can't determine the cause.
Stopped at light upon pushing gas peddle it went to the floor, to avoid hitting other cars in front of me swerverd into a parking lot ,hit curb blew out both lh tires . Shut car off throttle released and would not repeat problem . I had the throttle boby cleaned and the linkeaged checked by a independent garage. They could find no problems
Sitting at a stop light and proceeding to accellerate, the gas pedal stuck to the floor for approximately 10 to 15 seconds. Had to turn the ignition off to stop the vehicle which was going between 30 and 40 MPH. Dealer and manufacturer were contacted.
The fuel rail was defective and repaired on three occasions, with additional repair to the fuel regulator. However the fuel rail is included prior to recall notice (98v184000), but the fuel regulator is not.
