While driving on an interstate highway, a large amount of smoke was observed in the rear view mirror. After finding a safe place to quickly pull over, it was found that the right rear strut had failed completely and was resting on a brand new tire. The tire was smoking and destroyed. It had only millimeters of tread left before the strut would have punctured and exploded the tire. Later at a garage, the strut was shown to have broken completely. Although I survived this near disastrous incident, it could have easily been much worse for me and other interstate users nearby.

First, the check engine light came on. I took it to the dealer where I got it from to find out that the egr valve needed to be changed, did this. Then I drove it for 1 week and the check engine light came on again, took it back to the dealer to find out that there is a problem with the crank shaft and that it will be very costly to have it repaired. All of this happened when I was driving it. The car began to shake and I got very scared. I only had the car for 3 months and in the 3 months all of these problems have erupted. I need some justice in getting these problems addressed so that the car can be fixed without cost to me when checking the internet and finding out that this is a major problem with these cars. It is something that dodge knows that these cars have those problems and they are not honoring helping the owners fix them.

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???!!

I purchased my 1999 dodge intrepid w/28,840 miles. From there it had unreasonably been a lemon and into the "five star" chrysler dealer at least 8 times. The vehicle had persistant steering issues and abnormalities, wandering, play, abnormal change in sensitivity while driving, noise, tire wear. Dealer could never "duplicate the problems'. The engine blew up at 33,000 miles, had to have replaced. Transmission failed shortly after, had to be rebuilt. Input/output speed sensors failed twice. Abs allowed brakes to lock up twice. Tcm and PCM needed updating due to flawed previous revisions. Power window failed, front bumper, grill paint wearing. Obviously this vehicle was a lemon. The vehicle was finally wrecked after sudden poor steering control after trying to get the dealer to do something many times. Daimlerchrysler denies any manufacturing responsibility. I do not see how they can get away with this. There are many others experiencing similar premature problems that should not be occuring as such.
