1998 Dodge Intrepid visibility complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 28 of 28, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Wiring harness was installed with wires that are too short, possibly causing vehicle not to start and/or to shake when it does start. Also windows won't roll down at times. Dealer replaced faulty starter. But not willing to do anything further because vehicle is over 36,000 miles. Extended warranty was purchased. *tt...
My A/C evaporator has been hissing and dodge says it was normal during my warranty period but now I find it was not the case and also about the odor that came with it . The driver side window stick in the up position but you never know when , boy I will tell you dodge sure did pick the right name, even when they know there are these problems and even issued extended warranties for intrepids 93-97 up to 7 years...meaning???? A/c evaporators are suppose to last at least 7 years....well ours isnt lasting even 3 years!! Worst car I have ever bought and it was not cheap.
Consumer states the window stitch is inoperatable. The window lock has failed.
Consumer stated the heater stop working without warning. When turning on heater it will not blow out any heat. Contacted chrysler.
Power windows on all doors are inoperable. Windows will not come down. Also, power operated doors will periodically not open from inside. Dealer has replaced parts which has not corrected the problem. Please give any further details.
Powertrain -- check engine light illuminated as coming to a stop, and car jolted. From that point on, car stuck in second gear. 24 days out of warranty, with under 32k miles. Dodge would not pay for repair even though it is a known issue with dodge. Windows stuck in up position on 3 occasions, affecting rf, lf, and rr windows. Motors replaced under warrenty.
Driver's power window did not go into the closed position correctly. Took to dealer and found that the plastic clip on the bottom of the window that goes into the regulator track was broken. Dealer said this was a common problem but not covered under my warranty. Can not be fixed unless the whole window is replaced. Seems that something that is used as much as the driver's window should not be made with a plastic component!! Also it should be repaired by replacing the component not the whole window. Bad engineering I would conclude.
Vehicle had vibration in the motor and transmission did not shift gears correctly. Consumer has taken vehicle to dealer 6 times, but was told by dealer that vehicle was fine, and that it was normal characteristic of vehicle. Cause was unknown. *ak radiator fan motor failed. Motor window regulator failed. Gearshift control faied. Rear strut assembly failed. Windshield wiper blade and windshieled pivot carrier assembly failed. A/c evaporator coil failed. Instrument panel trim failed. Battery failed. Door weather strip failed.
Continued problems and expense related to window engine failures in front and back
Power window on the doors sometimes won't work where dealer had told the consumer there was some problems with the motor. Also, vehicle pulsates when brakes are applied/ replaced front brake rotors.
Speaker and driver's side power window.
Wheels are rusting on outside. Surface rust. Dodge states this is normal wear and tear. Steering wheel is peeling away. Dodge says this is normal wear and tear. Starter is too close to the muffler without heat shield. Power windows shorted out internally, causing fuse breaker to be to hot to touch. . Driver side mirror just cracked. Dealer said it may be a flaw. They have had to replace several for this reason. The glass is not available you must be complete assembly. The car is one year and five months old and is coming apart. Dealer will not fix because it is out of warranty. All repairs paid for out of pocket.
While driving on highway, entire back window flew off including frame, glass and defroster wires. No jagged edges of glass appears to be inadequate epoxy which held the rear window assemlby to the car.
Window power motor had to be replaced, front end cradle taken apart/put back together for front end pull, engine oil light comes on, passanger door hinge 'pops' occasionally, rough idle, engine 'no starts', interior lights flash on and off perodically, chrysler arbitration process a joke.
Driver side window failed.
Left front window motor failed. Yh
