Driving 30 MPH at approximately 6:30 pm and the car just died in rush hour traffic had to push to a side street and it would not restart, after researching I have found this is common to this model and so far have found no solutions but it is very dangerous as you loose your power steering and brakes this issue needs to be addressed by dodge as other reports have been reported on the freeway at higher speeds. The reports I have read thus far have found no fix for this problem and is very expensive to find as you just guess at which part to change or where to look, we need help.

Purchased vehicle 01/30/12,test drove,checked fluids,made sure everything was working fine. Seller said he just had oil change and smog 1 month prior, he provided me documents confirming. Had no issues with vehicle, until about 03/20/12,the oil light came on, which was odd. I checked the oil,found it was completely empty, put 2 quarts in immediately,light went off. I started checking driveway daily for signs of oil leaking even though the car drove fine.03/28/12, car stalled,went completely dead, as I exited freeway, leaving myself and my 3yr. Old stuck in lane on off ramp for about 30 minutes.a passerby attempted to jump it,that didn't work,car had no power at all,we pushed it to a safer spot. I walked 2 blocks home. Came back next day,jumped it,it started but now there was a knocking sound coming from engine and oil light was back on. I checked the oil it read full,I drove car home it stalled 3 times in the 2 blocks home. Knocking sound continued I parked the car. The next day I took the car to my mechanic the oil light was still on the engine was still knocking. He checked oil again and confirmed the car did have oil,and detected no signs of leaking. He ran a diagnostic on engine, it detected no issues,he ran it again,and the results where the same. He drove the car,me in the passengers seat so he could get a hear the knocking sound when car was moving.backed out of lot driving about 10 to 12 MPH, we got maybe half a block and the car went dead. He was able to guide car to side of road,when he pressed the brake to put the car in park, there was a barely audible bursting sound.we got out and found a thick black muddy type substance gushing out of the bottom from the front end, leaving a puddle the length and width of car. He immediately identified it as oil sludge, and said my engine had blown. We discussed my options and ultimately I had to have the car towed home it hasn't started.

I purchased a 1999 dodge intrepid. I have complete service records for the vehicle showing that on avg. The oil was changed every 3000 to 3600 miles. When driving at night during one of the snowfalls, the engine started to putter and eventually fail. I have my receipts showing that the oil was changed just three weeks prior and there was no warning of any issues. I had thee car taken to the dealer by tow the next morning to only be told a few days later that it is going to cost me $6400 to have it repaired?

I own a 1999 dodge intrepid es and while driving, the car just quits and I have to coast to a safe area off the road. The engine just kills. Once stopped, I try starting the engine. It just turns over and won't start. After waiting about 3 to 5 minute, it will start up as if no problem. Mechanic can not diagnose the issue through computer, because it won't store the fault code. It happens on a monthly basis, approximately. I have replaced cam sensor, crank sensor, timing belts, and no fix. It's almost as if there is a bad ground to a electrical sensor or exposed wire. Plugs and wires were replaced, but no solution. I'm just looking for someone who has eventually solved this issue. The car isn't that bad, replaced a lot of electrical sensor components, but would just like to solve this problem permanently. Any advice or solutions are more than welcome please. It's somewhat nerve racking to drive, not knowing when the next problem will occur. Please help.
