Engine failure: I had the car for 7 months. It suddenly made a high pitch squeeling noise. I pulled over, popped the hood to see if I could find what was causing the noise. The noise stopped so I drove to my destination another 11 miles. I watched the temp. Gauge and the engine never overheated. I parked at my destination and noticed a trail of water and antifreeze. I never started it again. I towed it to the repair shop and they told me that the engine was blown, unrepairable, cost could be close to $5,000 for a new engine. Window: the back right passenger window will go down but will not come back up unless you turn the car on and off 5 or 6 times and keep trying the window. I didn't have the money to get it fixed. I figured I could live with it if I didn't roll the window down.

Dodge intrepid 1998 this vehicle was purchased in july of 1998 new there are several problems here 1. Windows already had to purchase 4 motors for the windows. 2. My latest problem is the house where you take the car to fix is horrible mechanics. I took my car in for a check -up. They charged me 1,000.00 and told me everything was good brought the car home and anti freeze leaked all over garage floor. Brought the car back to take care of the problem. 3. Brought the car back home and I hear a rattling noise, take the car back and I am told another 600.00 for a coolant problem with the fan or I don"t know but they flushed the coolant so why do I have to pay for this and another motor for the window again this a problem from the house and not mine how can I resolve this they need to take this car back or offer me an adjustment of the monies I have spent sincerely mrs.

We have a dodge intrepid with the 2.7 motor burning oil a quart a week since we bought the car in 2000 went to the dealer they say it was a leak, low and behold it still burning the oil. Been to dealer several times they say its normal it had 78,000 when we got it, now has over 103,000 still adding oil weekly, also had to replace the entire fan assembly, the thermostat ,also problems with the power window tracks causing the windows not to close properly,tension pulley had to be replaced also the water pump, starter,(note all dealer parts so it isn't cheap to fix)battery cables rotted out dodge should do or offer something to help fix or rectify all these motor problems but are they are to cheap in my mind.

The electric windows on the vehicle do not work. The problem started with the windows not working occasionally, this progressed to not working at all. The vehicle also gives a violent shock when exiting with ignition off.
