In your database, I saw approximately 40 odi ids relating to automatic transmission failures in the dodge intrepid, and some vehicles have been repaired more than once. If I had scanned the records for the chrysler concorde and the eagle vision (which are the same as the dodge intrepid), I am sure that I would have seen similar numbers of related odi ids. My transmission was just completely rebuilt at a cost of $1,700 due to automatic transmission torque converter failure. Consumers union has noted the automatic transmission as a serious sore spot in their consumer reports publications on this vehicle. The dealer had the complete transmission rebuild kits in stock - indicating frequent need for these parts. I recommend that the federal safety agency finally act on this issue to the extent that chrysler corporation be directed to issue a formal recall, and also reimburse customers for previous repairs.

I think that is enough to tell you this model has defects too many to mention. I think dodge should allow some sort of renumeration on repairs or a nice reasonable discount on future purchases since this is my second dodge.
When puttting in to gear the car jumps out of gear. Has trouble getting into gear.this happens while on flat groud and while accelerating.
Interlock shift cable failed allowing drive to remove key from ignition when vehicle was not in park causing it to roll backward and hit another vehicle. Nlm
Dealer indicates rebuild required at only 45k mi. $2,000 to repair. Proper maintenance was performed. Dealer indicates it's not policy to give chryler customer service number.
The key was removed fromt vehicle , assuming it was in park, and the vehicle rolled, causing a minor collision. Manufacturer has been notified.
Transmission also behaves strangely even when it's not cold, such as early or late shifts
Defective transmission is not allowing it to go into reverse gear. Mechanic will overhaul transmission.
Air bags sensor light intermittently would come on and stay on when vehicle is started. Dealer inspected vehicle and informed consumer that no problem could be found. Also, since transmission had been rebuilt. The control panel failed to operate, and gear shift failed to light up. While driving on highway at appoximately 60-65 MPH,transmission appeared to downshift to low and all lights would go out. Dealer/manufacturer notified, and problem still exits. Can the federal safety agency help in this matter.
Ongoing / intermittent problem with automatic transmission failing. Automatic transmission failed first time at 80,000 miles. Currently, it failed again, and needs to be replaced.can the federal safety agency provide additional information or help in this matter.
Transmission: metal shavings was found in the transmission gear. This made it difficult to shift transmission into a gear. Also, engine lifters went out & had to be reinstalled; and carbon had built up in the engine. Causing it to stall whenever vehicle accelerated from a stopped position.
Transmission has been replaced on the unit twice in less than two years.
Lip seal in the transmission has shrinked which would not allow the vehicle to engage into gears.
Transmission failed, causing the vehicle to go into 2nd gear while the vehicle was going 70 MPH, resulting in total engine failure.
Hood supports do not hold hood open and it drops down on your head when your working on the engine. Torque converter shutter while travelling at highway speeds. They have replaced the torque converter 3 times and the whole transmission once. This is a design defect in the torque converter and has never been corrected or improved by dodge.
Over several weeks I noticed an intermittent problem with my automatic transmission. It would "lunge forward" and then default to the "limp home" mode (3rd gear). The problem became more serious a few days ago, when it reset into 1st gear or neutral while driving. Given the more urgent and possibly dangerous situation I took it to my dodge dealer. The transmission must be overhauled. Chyrsler is willing to pay for the parts ($950), however I am stuck with the labor ($1000). Investigation at another internet site suggests that many owners of '94 and '95 intrepids have experienced a similar problem. I believe that this defect may warrant a recall. It is interesting that chysler is willing to pay for the parts, this suggests to me some admission of a system defect. If it is a known and widespread defect, why am I still required to pay the labor costs to correct it?
Vehicle's suspension has had continued problems, tie rods experienced excessive wear, vibration unable to be corrected. Mjs
While the vehicle was in park with ignition running, it jumped out of gear. The dealer and manufacturer will be notified.
At 67,000 miles the transmission completly malfunctioned and was replaced. Please give any furth er details.
Automatic transmission needs overhauling/replacement. Transmission slips out of gear when downshifting and often does not come out of gear when attempting to stop, nearly causing rear end collision with car in front. Dealer reports that they have repair "hundreds" of identical failures, and that dodge has changed parts to assure good repair. However, dodge offers no assistance toward $1700 repair nor has issued a recall. Help!!!
Replaced fuel rail, tie rod and bushing failure caused difficulty in steering and alignment problems.
Transmission failed.

When coming to a complete stop and before vehicle was warmed up in reverse gear , transmission jumped out of gear, causing the vehicle to move forward unexpectedly, which could have resulted in a collision.
Transmission failed.
Transmission has broken twice in my 1 1/2 years owning a dodge intrepid. On the first occasion, in the summer of 1998, car began to idle very high but moved extremely slowly when pushing the accelerator. On the second occasion, jan. 1999, the car would begin to move extremely slow when pushing the accelerator. However, it did not idle high. After a few seconds, there would be a forceful kick from the back. The car would then accelerate normally. Also, the car would sometimes slip out from the drive gear into the reverse gear without notice. Furthermore, headlight switch became stuck and unable to turn into the on position.
