1997 Dodge Intrepid brakes complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 21 of 21, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Front brake rotors are prematurely wearing, cause unknown. Please give any further details.
When consumer applies brakes they are hard. Also, when he applies brakes in sudden stop, they don't engage. Front end dips when consumer brakes, and there is a clanking noise coming from the front of the car while driving 25 to 30mph. Airbags didn't deploy when consumer had an accident while driving 30mph.
Engine lifters needed to be repaired. Would make loud ticking noise when it's suppose to go up & down. Took to dealer & informed by mechanic no noise was heard, but would repair the lifters. Owner picked vehicle up & it started leaking fuel in middle of road & made puffing sounds & finally stalled out. Towed vehicle back to dealer. The brakes were replaced after being hard to apply. Have squeaking noise in back of vehicle. The ticking noise came back.
When driving at any speed and applying the brakes, the brakes were soft. When consumer went to apply brakes again, they went straight to the floorboard due to master cylinder failure. Also, consumer has had rotors and pads replaced. Dealer is aware of problem, and can't determine the cause.
