1996 dodge intrepid I bought this car as is and got it home after the same night I found out that the headlights don't work, which is a safety problem, I contacted the dealership that I got the car from the looked at it but would not fix it cause they claimed they didn't know the headlights didn't work, I even asked if they had to inspect the car before selling it, yes they did but never fixed the headlights... I would like this fixed asap.
The head light lenses were turning opaque and small pieces were peeling off. The lights were so bad that the consumer would not drive a night. *bf *sc
Entire suspension replaced. According to mechanic suspension was shot, and he has seen this on numerous occasions. He suggested this may be a recall problem, but advised to check into it to be sure. Also, I have already replaced the multi-function switch approximately 3 years ago and have just been told it needs to be replaced again. I have been driving with high beams on because the lower beams do not work.
Headlights are not very bright, even on high beam. It is very difficult to see at night because the headlights do not reflect but a few feet in front of the vehicle. It's even harder to see when a vehicle is coming toward you.
When driving at night both headlights moved out of place, causing consumer to pull off the road to realign the headlights. Consumer stated that the plastic brackets, which support the headlights broke which caused the headlights to fall out of the housing. *ak
Consumer called complaining about electrical problems. Also, stated that the rear lights don't work as well as the panel and other things in the vehicle.
Headlight dimmer switch is malfunctioning. The headlights are stuck on their high-beams. When cycling between the low/high beams, the low beam headlights will come on in addition to the high beams, which will not turn off. When "flicking" the dimmer switch or trying to flash someone, sometimes the headlights go out completely, leaving me with my parking lights.
The headlights were dull, making visibility impossible. The dealer was contacted. Ts scc
On several occasions while driving there is a gas odor. Recall campaign 98v184000 fuel injection was performed, but after recall repair the fuel odor returned, the recall repair has been done four times yet the problem still exist. *tt the heater didn't work properly, the power door lock wouldn't lock, the doors wouldn't open, the water pump was leaking, the headlights were too dim, the doors squeaked, there was a vibration coming from the brakes, there was play in the front end of the vehicle from the inner tie rods and power steering gear bushings.
