1999 Dodge Intrepid engine complaints
Page 22 of 25: complaints 611 to 640 of 702, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving and no warning the vehicle will stall and it will be hard for the consumer to control the vehicle. Dealer notified.
The air conditioner stopped blowing cold air and we took into dealer to service and were told that there was an electrical problem and the A/C fan and the radiator fan were seized. They cannot tell us why this would happen on a vehicle only 4 years old but could only say they "sell a lot of these fans on these vehicles and the stratus vehicles." this sounds like to me that it is a problem with a defective part rather than something the customers should have to buy "a lot of" ...
1999 dodge intrepid with 2.7l engine 74960 miles, oil changes every 3000 miles, and now the engine has to be replaced. Found websites with a lot of complaints about the same problem. There should be a recall. The dealer told me it would be $9000.00 to replace and install new engine, which is worth more than the car. Need money to fix. Car is going to sit until something is done. Don't let this happen to anyone else. Just search the internet and find how many people there is out there with the same problem. Thank you.
I own a dodge intrepid that is only 4 years old and when driving down the road the engine ceased. I had it towed to a repair shop and called chrysler who informed me the warranty expired, but with a fairy new car, I feel the engine should not have went. The only way they will talk to me about it is if I take it to a dealership at my expense and have it looked at. This is at a cost of $500.00 and they told me chrysler most likely will not pay and that I would be out the money and have a basket full of parts. I feel the company should stand by their products and take some consideration of the customer. As I stated to them :they have my $22,000.00 and I have no working car to show for it. This car stopped at a busy intersection putting my daughter who was driving in serious jeopardy.
While driving, my 99 intrepid loss power and the engine started making a terrible knocking sound. The engine to my car has died at 95999 miles. It is a shame. I have alway been such a big fan of chrysler. I was in the process of looking for a minivan to trade this car in for. Now I still owe more than $7000 on this car and stuck with it. I have no clue as to what I am going to do. I priced engines. They range from $3600-$4800 and that does not include labor. The worst part is I had my children in the car when it died. Luckily no one was hurt. Also the steering makes a funny knocking sound when I turn. I am no longer a chrysler fan and will most likely never own another one.
Own a '99 dodge intrepid that has complete engine failure.. It is such a rampant problem in this individual vehicle that it has it's own web page --- //intrepid.clan-510.org if that isn't case enough for you to put more pressure on dodge to do something about it then I don't know why this organization exists.. Go to the hyperlink that shows the actual lists with repetitive complaints & problems!!!
Dodge intrepid 99,v6-2.7.engine breakdown at 80000k on it.need new engine???????????
Abnormal premature consumption of oil. First noticed around 40,000 miles and has steadily progressed to current 1 quart per 1,500 mile of oil consumption at 68,000 miles. Chrysler refused to correct the problem and indicates that it is normal for their engines to burn oil.
While driving the engine completely shut down at 48383 miles.
1999 dodge intrepid, 5 star dealer maintained has experienced engine failure at 60389 miles. Have spoken with many others that have experienced this problem. According to an engine rebuild shop the failure is caused by poor design of the engine. Excessive sludge builds up and eventually starves the engine for oil resulting in bearing failure and/or broken connecting rods. Another engine rebuilding service claims that rebuilding is a waste of money and the rebuilt engine is doomed to failure.
Car heater not operating properly and engine fan does not work properly.
The vehicle stalled without warning.
My cooling system fan motors both went out and froze up with only 46000 miles on a 1999 dodge intrepid. After further investigation into the problem I found on the internet that several people have had the same problem with their intrepid's.
The vehicle stalled without warning. *jb vehicle stuck in second gear. Speed sensor replaced. Timing belt failed and there was sludge in the engine. Engine needed to be replaced. Window, radio and speaker inoperative. *tt
History includes blown transmission sensor, failure on the very first year inspection for brake rotors, driver's side window sticks in up position, intermittent heat control button not functioning properly, noisy when turning in front strut area, keyless remote does not function properly and now the worst of it. One month ago, took car in with oil and engine lights flashing, ticking noise from engine, stalling out. Dealer did electronic sensors repairs and tune up costing $500. One month later, car had to be towed back to dealer with loud banging in engine. Repair bill of over $6,000 to fix a car I've owned 3 years, 8 months and 60,000 miles. 2.7 l engines are blowing in these cars all the time making it next to impossible to purchase a used one to do repairs myself. One used car parts place said they have a waiting list. Recall anyone???!!
3/6/03 - engine noise, oil & engine lights on, stalling. Dealer replaced sensors, did tune up. 4/7/04 - car towed to dealer - told engine replacement required at cost of over $6,000 - $7,000. Car 3 years, 8 months old with 60,000 miles.
I have a 1999 dodge intrepid, 2.7 liter engine, 65000 miles on vehicle. The vehicle has been properly maintained. Timing belt broke on vehicle and it was towed to a chrysler/dodge dealer for repairs. Mechanic began to disassemble motor and found a black sludge inside engine - said it looked as if the motor oil had never been changed. This vehicle has been properly maintained. I was then informed the motor would need to be replaced. I have contacted several mechanics for repair estimates - which range from $4500.00-$7000.00. One person I spoke with said that a "jasper" replacement motor was available that has fixed the design problem with the oil. I am trying to find information regarding this motor. From the website I was reviewing, intrepid.clan-510.org this sludge is a problem not typically encountered, but it seems to be more common with the intrepid. Another motor replacement business, I contacted, said they were getting requests for the 2.7 liter motor every day and said repairs would be $7000.00. Do you have any information on problems associated with this motor? Can you provide me with contact information?
1999 dodge intrepid 2.7 l total engine failure. The engine started clicking then loss power and seized while on a highway. Dealer said the engine needed to be replaced, even though engine was clean. Chrysler denied claim. Known problem with the 2.7 liter engines.
I was driving on the interstate as car started a rattling noise and lost power,and would not start again. The car was towed to dealer, and I was told that the engine was blown at 88,000 miles. There were no working dash lights to alert of any problem. The dealer could not give explanation. The car is under full warranty and oil has been changed regularly. Estimated cost 5,000 dollars.
Complete engine failure at 75000 miles, oil light began to flash on and off engine started to knock loudly vehicle lost all speed and stalled on expressway entrance ramp. This vehicle's oil and filter was changed every 3000 miles yet when the engine was disassembled there was large amounts of sludge through out the it's inside ,and I was told the engine needed to be rebuilt but this is a very expensive thing to do which the dealer told me would cost about $4000.00 this was the cheapest fix. Which I do not have the money to repair right now so now I am pay for a car I can not drive. And from all the information that I have read there seems to be a problem with a great many of the 2.7 liter v6 engines installed in this vehicle. The repairs are very costly and time consuming.
From what they say, my timing belt came off and took out the engine. I also had problems with the power locks going out at the same time, the steering was starting to go out and the cam sensor went out.
The engine blew suddenly and with no apparent cause.
Premature engine failure due to sludge build up on a 1999 dodge intrepid with 72000 mi. Engine oil was changed every 3000 mi or less. Car is not currently under warranty and dodge says it will cost approximately. $3500 to $6500 to fix depending on what is broken.
1999 chrysler intrepid engine failure due to oil sludge after maintaining regularly scheduled oil changes.
Engine blew for "no apparent reason". Warranty will not cover a replacement due to the mysterious appearance of sludge. I had my oil changed regularly and maintained my vehicle properly. I have already replaced the transmission, various sensors and visited the dealer 3 times to correct an oil leak. I was never diagnosed with an engine problem until it finally shut down. While driving approximately 45 MPH on the highway, the engine started to make a loud noise and rattled continuously. This was very surprising, considering the vehicle was normally a quiet ride. The shop told me my engine was blown and the warranty company denied my claim. I am still financing this vehicle and do not have the 6,500.00 to replace this engine. I see numerous complaints on this site and others about the 2.7 liter engines. There should definitely be a recall.
I was the owner of a 1999 dodge intrepid, that was completely wrecked at 36,000 miles after experiencing sudden loss of steering control prior to the wreck, my dealer assured me over and over that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle although I was very concerned and pretended to know nothing about steering problems with these vehicles. Prior to the total vehicle loss, the engine blew up with a rod knock at about 33,000 miles and had to be replaced, the transmission had to be overhauled after it failed, the input and output speed sensors both failed and much more. This is just 1 of 2 defective daimler chrysler vehicles I have owned and daimler chrysler accepts no responsibility. Many of these vehicles are defective and do not hold up reasonably. I have never had any of these problems with a 15 year old vehicle with over 220,000 miles on it. I would like to inform consumers that my website against chrysler for ongoing premature dodge, chrysler engine, steering, transmission failures and more is now www.daimlerchryslervehicleproblems.com. We have referred many to the federal safety agency and we hope that the federal safety agency will post this to refer others to our site who have not yet seen our site. At this website you will see accident pictures and complaints from consumers after sudden loss of steering control. We also have pictures of the common chrysler engine internal oil sludge buildup and damage from timing chains that have broke through these engines after tensioner failures. We also have many premature transmission failure complaints. If you have evidence of these problems, pictures or a complaint to be posted please also visit www.daimlerchryslervehicleproblems.com and find out what daimlerchrysler does not want you to know.
I have had trouble with my car heater is not operating properly serious damage may have already occurred to my engine. The primary symptom is that the car heater, for no reason, does not blow hot air - then it starts working. Looks like my car engine has been overheating and causing sludge to build up in the top half of the engine. Some other symptoms are car starts to burn oil, very light traces of white smoke from exhaust and the engine may seem to run a little rough at idle. Still running but I don't know for how long....
1999 dodge intrepid 2.7 engine blew at 55k.
I own a 1999 dodge intrepid with 26,400 miles on it. It has never been in an accident of any type and usually driven 10 miles per day. After 26,000 miles the engine developed a knocking noise. I was informed the roller bearing on the timing change had failed. After paying more than $1,400 for the replacement of the roller bearing and a new timing chain, it was determined that the timing chain problem had damaged one or more of the valves, which required the engine to be torn down and a valve job to be required for an additional cost of $900.00. All of this to a car with only 26,000 miles. 2 weeks after the engine repairs were made the transmission stopped shifting gears.
