- What is wrong
- On certain passenger vehicles, the floor shifter ignition-park interlock may fail and allow the shifter to be moved out of the park position with the key removed. An inoperative interlock may also allow the key to be removed when the shifter has not been placed in the park position.
- Risk
- Either circumstance may result in the vehicle rolling away without warning.
- Remedy
- Dealers will install a new load-limiting push rod into the floor shifter lever of the affected vehicles. Owner notification began on june 14, 2004. Owners should contact daimlerchrysler at 1‑800‑853‑1403.

Auto trans ignition-park interlock
The manufacturer reports above are based on daimlerchrysler?s (dc) analysis of model year (my) 1998 (population = 356,384) and 1999 (population = 486,948) ja, jx and lh family subject vehicle data (earlier mys excluded).the population number includes all mys.the precise number of duplicates between odi and dc reports cannot be determined due to missing or incomplete information.the fatality incident involved an elderly person who attempted to stop a roll away vehicle and received fatal injuries.odi also gathered information on my 1997-99 prowler vehicles in this investigation. The prowler vehicles were manufactured with a different design shifter mechanism (the shift lever is shorter).there are no complaints of prowler interlock failure in odi?s database, and dc has received no reports either.the prowler is excluded from the recall scope.the investigation involved a condition where the interlock system could fail (or be made inoperative by the operator) during vehicle use, possibly inadvertently.the interlock system is required under fmvss 114.with the transmission in the park position and the ignition key off, the combined action of pressing the shift button and pulling the shift lever rearward may result in the operator overcoming the interlock system and cause the mechanical linkage of the system to disconnect.when this occurs, there is no overt indication to an operator that the system is defeated, and an increased risk of vehicle roll-away exists.under recall 04v021, dc will replace damaged shift mechanisms, and will install on all vehicles a device which inhibits the operator?s ability to overcome the interlock and defeat the system.beginning with my 2000, dc incorporated a brake and transmission shifter interlock (btsi) system into the subject vehicles.introduction of btsi involved design changes to the shift mechanism, one of which resulted in reduced mechanical advantage (rma) of the shift button.the rma shifter requires increased forces to overcome the interlock system, making the shifter less susceptible to damage.

What 1995 Dodge Intrepid owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Dodge transmission on intrepids, caravans, and neons have a history of failing and needing to be replaced or rebuilt. My vehicle only has 55800 miles on it all original. Even though the car is 15 years old it has always been maintained since it was purchased from the dealer brand new in 1995. I believe that if dodge is not held responsible for the problems then someone can seriously get injured from them. Whether it be from the transmission failing on the highway and causing accidents or something breaking while just driving and causing serious injury.
The vehicle had the usual filter, and fluid changes and began to slip and now the transmission is out. The fluid in it is still clean. Can't understand why it would just go out like that. This isn't the first problem I have had. Also had to replace the rack-n-pinion on it. The bolt holding it together came out while driving it.
Left front wheel bearing and axle, left and right outer tie rods, front right ball joint, strut rod bushings, windshield wiper bearings, left front door lock doesn't work, left front window won't let down and roof paint.
Dt: the caller had recall 2c45182 work done on august 17, 2005. Two days later while driving the vehicle it shifted itself into reverse and stalled in traffic. Dealer said she will have to pay to have it towed and repaired. Dealer said they wont even look at it until she paid.. She said she had no trouble before the recall work was done. Manufacturer said to take it back to the dealer.

Two weeks later the original problem described in the recall recurred. *jb the gears did not change properly and after repair there was stilla delay when the gears were changed and the motor was weak and the vehicle was not driveable.
Consumer received recall 04v021000 concerning shift ignition park interlock. Consumer was concerned because the vehicle went in for a recall. But, problems occurred previously,and still had not been resolved.
The consumer stated that while driving, the vehicle shifted hard. Please provide more information.

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.
