1995 Dodge Intrepid transmission complaints
Page 2 of 6: complaints 11 to 40 of 142, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The vehicle violently jerked, and then stalled.
I have had to put 4 transmissions in my eagle vision. There has got to be a problem. I bought two from a junk yard with little mileage, and they both were bad.
I was driving along with my family, in medium traffic flow, when all of a sudden without warning, the transmission dropped into 2nd gear, and would not shift out of 2nd gear. Scc ***dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis****770802****
While driving there is some difficulty when the vehicle is trying to switch into gear. Contacted dealer.
Had to replace the axel and cv joint . Now I have some problems with allignment and it is making a clicking noise when I go from reverse to drive.
Three year old child shifted the car from park without keys in the ignition, without braking, and without pressing release button on gear shift. The car began rolling down a slight hill with a two year old girl hanging from the car near the front tire. Mother running to the car, was run over by the rolling car while trying to protect her children. Car crashed into a fire hydrant halting run away vehicle. After the incident was over, owners confirmed that car shifts from park with the slightest touch of the gear shift (without depressing button).
Transmission will slip, and at times vehicle shut off. Consumer has had transmission replaced, but problem still occurs.
I called and reported the problems with the tire rod ends, I just added more to the list of problems with this car. I am trying to other owners of dodge intrepids with identical problems to also call and report these problems so something will be done.
Transmission leaking fluid. Changed oil&filter. Fixed leaky hose. When cold, shudders and doesn't shift into gear properly. Sometimes has what dodge dealership calls a "glitch" where it won't shift past 2nd gear. Shut off engine to reset. Changed oil & filter a second time. Same problems.
Transmission failed twice, the last time it failed was only 30000 miles after the first was replaced.
Consumer states trasmission has failed twice, he was advised by mechanic that trasmission is inferior.
Consumer noticed a fluid build up under vehicle after vehicle had been parked. Dealership informed consumer that an unknown clamp, which was tightened to eliminate leaking problem, was causing transmission fluid to leak. Please provide any additional information/attachments.
Automatic transmission cooler lines were leaking transmission fluid onto lower radiator hose of vehicle. Lower radiator hose was disintegrating due to this leak. Dealership replaced both components, transmission cooler lines and lower radiator hose. Please provide any additional information/attachments.
While switching lanes lost control of steering momentarily. Consumer had to use force to get vehicle under control. Took vehicle to two mechanics, and they said that rack and pinion steering had manufacturing design flaw. *ak 2 independent mechanics stated that the bushings on the steering rack were worn and needed to be replaced, also stated that there was too much play or movement in the entire steering mechanism, however replacement of the bushings would not fix the problem since the play or movement in the steering box will continue to causing wear on the bushing, this problem occurs whenever stopping and turning in or out of a driveway, parking lot, etc, or accelerating after a stop, consumer can hear sounds and it feels like something is kicked out or slips from under vehicle's front end, consumer has complained to dealer on 4 occasions. Transmission hesitates when making shift from 2nd to 3rd, dealer stated operating as designed. Left front splash shield rubbing on tire making a noise, dealer repositioned splash shield.
The transmission failed causing the vehicle to hesitate and jerk upon acceleration , the consumer requested financial assistance but was denied, transmission had been replaced before, the new one failed after only 30000 miles. Nlm
While driving could try to slow down and vehicle will start feeling like another vehicle was pushing from rear. Manufacturer was contacted. *ak the manufacuturer was aware of the transmission problem and was willing to accept part of the responsibility.
While driving vehicle will not change gears.
The front parking brake cable broke, dealer replaced the front cable and parking brake pedals, consumer feels that the failure was caused by metal fatigue in the cable, the design does not follow accepted engineering practices for cable diameter and minimum bending radius of the cable.
While driving and coming to a stop vehicle will not go, seems that vehicle is not going into gear, which may cause a crash. In some instances, driver must pull over and restart vehicle. Will be taking vehicle to dealer. *ak the consumer's search on internet showed that the cause for stalling of the vehicle was due to defective transmission.
Transmission pops out of gear whenever consumer stops.
While driving vehicle would make clunking noise under hood. Took vehicle to dealership & was informed by the mechanic that problem was transmission. When mechanic drove vehicle, nothing happened. Was informed to drive vehicle until noise appeared & bring it back in. Had driven vehicle out of town when it stalled out suddenly. Afterwards was able to go 10mph. Took vehicle back to dealer and transmission was replaced.*ak at present time, the vehicle makes clunking noise in the front area, especially when the front wheel is turned. Lower control arm or transmission failures are possible causes.
3 months ago it needed both inner and outer tie rod ends replaced. Today we went around a corner and the rack and pinion failed. No steering and almost hit a parked car. Vechile towed to repair shop and I am waiting to get a estimate. Front end problems and steering problems since we bought it. Transmission is starting to go and we have had the air conditioner worked on 3 years in a row. We are going to trade it in asap.
Transmission failed and was replaced. Water pump has been replaced twice. Sway bar links were replaced at 24,000 miles.
Rear passenger restraint does not retract back into position. Dealer has inspected vehicle.*ak transmission failed three times. Front seering rack failed left front ball joint failed. Drive belt failed at 28000 miles. Water pump failed. Radio failed. Right front struts failed three times. Brake failed three times before 50000 miles. Hydraulic cylinders that hold hood up fell off. Heat/AC duct system fell down.
I bought this car in 1995.......it has been in the garage for major repairs so many times I can't count them...but I do have documentation....I called the nys lemon law number but was 2 weeks past the statute of limitations...they told me to get a lawyer......since the statute has run out....fox chrysler has had the car for at least 3 weeks in the last year & has given me a rental car (under my extended warranty) ...I feel forced to sell this car because the warranty will run out may 31, 2001....it has had the transmission rebuilt, the A/C replaced, the rotors were replaced at 13982 miles & the replacements are bad again....they were just turned at 30000 miles...the turn signals, door locks, headlamps (had moisture in them), airbag cover on passenger side was raised & curled from day 1...the tie rods were replaced in 1999 at my cost because fox said that they were not covered under my warranty .....I am looking for an attorney to get this vechile replaced under the ny lemon law....and would like to know if there is any other recource I can take....this is a partial list of the problems with this car that I purchased new .
The rear seat of my car was smoldering and giving off a lot of smoke and fumes with the exhaust problem. I was very alarmed since the back seat is very close to the gas tank. On the transmission and air conditioner both systems have had to be replced 3 or 4 times and usually about every 50k.
There is a problem with odometer/ speedometer. Odometer works intermittently. Consumer had to drive almost 40 miles before it kicked in to let consumer know how fast he was going also, A/C stopped working at the same time. Took vehicle to dealer and they could not find a remedy.
Transmission felt like it was slipping, vehicle would take off in third gear, and when stopping fast it would be in neutral.
On a on ramp, during rush hour the transmission failed without any warning this was very, very dangerous, had to have it towed to a repair shop ,they told us that they work on alot of the dodge intrepid 's transmissions , and they said it was a catastrophe failure on dodge's behalf .
