In normal driving conditions both the window regulator and the cable for the cruise control failed causing the glass to enter the window frame and the car to lose speed. I had the window repaired only to have it fail again and have not yet repaired the cruise control for fear of another failure.

In the summer of 2003, A/C failed to blow cold air. Dealership tested the system and found no leak, but for a fee, would further test the system. No repairs were done due to price of service. In the summer of 2004, still had no A/C, and dealership has told me the evaporator coil has failed to operate. They want approximately $1300 to fix the problem. I will not go to their service as I have found an independent mechanic who will fix the problem for approximately $800. I have had the transmission recall fixed, the driver's seat bolt recall fixed, and the right front window motor replaced. All of these things have been found defective by many customers as found on this web site. Are refunds available for these common complaints? I'm tired of spending hard earned money to fix what apparently seems like manufacturer flaws.

My wife bought a 99 intrepid with 3.2l engine brand new. The car currently has 79k miles, but we have replaced the window motor (all under warranty) by the dealer 6 times (sometimes twice in the same windows). We have also been experiencing issues with the transmission such as rough changing of gears. We replaced the speed sensor once, and now the transmission is stuck in 2nd gear. We were told by the dealer the transmission will need an overhaul at $2,300.

This is a 1999 dodge intrepid, that I have had plenty of problems out of. This was purchased at 29,569 miles, 10/99. Jan 2000 the inner sensor went out, replaced by dealer under warranty. July 2000 the outer sensor went out, replaced by dealer not under warranty per milage at time. Aug 2000 the passenger fan went out, replaced by dealer at a cost of $500. Sense then replaced brakes often, burn lots of oil and plenty of hesitation from the transmission. But my other biggest problem is the window motor,that has gone out in the passenger window twice and now the driver window has completely fail apart. You here nothing but noise when closing the door, cannot let the window up and down without its sounding like its going to break from popping like its getting caught on something. Most of the time you have to pull it up by hand in order to get it to close completely. Has their been a recall on this item?

3 of 4 power window units have failed making the windows inoperable. Front passenger window motor and regulator were replaced under warranty. At this time the driver and rear passenger windows are inoperative. The vehicle currently has 43.3k miles. Besides being inconvenient, not being able to open a window could pose a safety issue in an emergency.

Driver power window motor failed twice, now the window has to be held in place for it to roll up straight and go into place. Also, plastic on driver door under black 'speaker' cracked with no impact. Passenger rear door entire interior door assembly has separated from the metal and has to be 'popped' back in repeatedly. Air conditioner system fails yearly. Multiple reasons. Trunk leaks terribly. Rear air/heat vents don't blow air anymore and the car isn't even 4 years old!
