1996 Dodge Intrepid body complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 24 of 24, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Rack & pinion has been replaced once & same symptoms are occuring again. There is a popping noise in the front when turning. Due to the failure of the steering, we have had to replace tires & struts sooner then normal. Brakes have also been replaced because rotors were bad & brake pads were warped. Rear window glass was removed & a new section between the rear door & back glass was replace while under warranty. The same condition exists again. The back door is very difficult to open due to misalaignment. Dealer refused to provide any service after original warranty. Chrysler corp. Authorized the replacement of rack & pinion, water pump, & rear wheel cylinders at 45450 miles. Due to defects, mainly in the steering, I continue to pay a mechanic to assess the safety of operation of this vehicle.
Trunk lid collapses from a slight breeze/on an incline or if you bump the rear of vehicle. Qcaw
On four separate occasions our vehicle has shifted into 2nd gear when running and could not be upshifted or downshifted. The only gears available were 2nd or reverse. The dealer replaced the solenoid twice and the tc module once. The fourth time it happened, the diagnostics did not show anything wrong and the dealer did not replace anything. The dealer stated that they were unable to replicate problem. Each time the transmission failed if the car was shut dow and allowed to cool for an hour or more it appeared to reset and operate properly for a while. If the car was driven for a longer period of time after reset the problem came back.
Brakes failed twice almost resulting in vehicle collision due to caliper's leaking.
Driver's side power door locks remain in the locked positon when other locks unlock. Vehicle is currently at dealers, a waiting diagnostic.
Electric door locks fail to unlock on occasion.
Missing reinforcement plate caused frame to crack.
Particles found in brake fluid, transmission jumps out of gear, the moon roof fell on owners head.

Driver noticed that smoke was coming out of the door assembly. The driver took the vehicle to the dealer 2 weeks before for the same problem. Smoke was coming from the door assembly, and the dealer said that they cannot find anything. Dealer did not see any smoke. So the dealr sent the vehicle home. 2 weeks later the vehicle caught fire on the driver's side door assembly. The vehicle was power controled. The fire was so bad that it melted the door assembly down.
Black plastic behind rear doors cracked at base on both sides (decorative piece of equipment).
Trunk lid support rod failed.
Dashboard reflects in the windshield, creating blind spots.
