While driving at normal highway speeds the car suddenly downshifted, causing a terrible jolt to my family including two children. The jolt nearly caused an accident from cars behind us (the car does not light the taillights even though the car went from 60mph to 30mph in probably less than a second). We were told that the problem was the input and output transmission sensors. This is the second time this has occurred to us in 33000 miles!! We were lucky but this could easily cause a fatal accident to somesone. I hope the federal safety agency will do something about this issue soon before a fatal accident does happen!!!!
My 1999 dodge intrepid had sludge in the oil making the engine in the car defective. I recently saw the report on wls in chicago and I would like some answeres. This car was very well maintained and this should have not happened. I would like the makers to at least he a recall for the repairs my car needs considering that the engine that they put into these cars are not equipped to handle te size of this vehicale. We also have 4 other family members with this type of car and I'm afraid that this is going to happen to them. I'm not alone there are thousands of people, I'm sure that this problem has happened to them as well, but with all these people reporting the same sludgeand the 2.7 engines in these cars going out, this is a defective engine in this car. What can I do with the help of you to get my car runing again. My family needs this car. Right now it is sitting in a shop because to get another engine costs up to if not more than $5,000.00 which we do not have, and should be covered by the dealer considering that the engins is wrong for the car. Can you please contact and help me with this defect thank you.
Consumer complained about a transmission problem. Vehicle would not shift into gear. Consumer took the vehicle into dealer, as well as contacted the manufacturer, and neither was willing to assist consumer unless consumer paid out of pocket. Vehicle was no longer under warranty.
Consumer was unable to shift to 3rd gear. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem. *ak the vehicle has a triptronic shift which allows the driver to drive fully automatic or manually shift with just a touch. When the temperature dropped below twenty degrees the shifter became frozen solid and the consumer was unable to shift out of park until the outside temperature was above freezing. Because of this feature this malfunction the triptronic feature is no longer accessible. The vehicle also has air conditioning problems that limit it's ability to cool the vehicle on days with high humidity.
Problems with transmission on 1999 dodge intrepid. *mr during an inspection, it was noticed that there was a transmission leak. The cause of the leak was due to an insufficient tightening of the clamp on the transmission lines that had supposedly been fixed. There was another incident where the vehicle started to lose acceleration. The consumer continued to press the gas pedal but the vehicle started to go slower than faster. The consumer also viewed smoke coming from under the hood. The service dealer told the consumer that nothing happened and to refill the transmission fluid.

Car has less than 74,000 miles on it but two independent mechanics have declared the engine and transmission unusable. No repairs undertaken to date because of value analysis.
While driving in traffic vehicle stalled. Prior to this incident the engine light appeared. Dealership serviced vehicle 5 times, and provided a temporary solution. A repair shop performed a diagnostic test, and the failure codes were 700 and 701. This indicated a malfunction in the automatic transmission first gear due to a factory defect.

My husband john and I purchased a 1999 dodge intrepid from easy rider auto sales 3980 pine grove ave. Fort gratiot, mi 48059 on april 11, 2003. The mileage on the title at time of sale was 86,554, current mileage is 88,290. I drove the car for a total of 1,736 miles. We also bought the extended warranty policy from the dealer for the car. Guardian warranty company (nadn)1‑800‑482‑7357.ext. 111. We had the car for a total of 25 days when the transmission went out. We took it to who easy rider auto sales said are a good company to do business with...lee's auto & truck repair 810‑984‑8947. After having the car back for a total of 8 days, I was backing out of my driveway and felt an sudden surge of power, the RPM reading was at 4,000. I was backing out slowly. I then braked and put it into park, watched the RPM gauge and seen it go over 5,000 RPM's in park at an idle. My husband contacted his friend who owns a repair shop and accepts this extended warranty we purchased. B & d auto and truck service in memphis, mi 810‑367‑8881. They currently have the car. The engine is totaled. B and d called the chrysler company, who told them to replace the motor because of the damages and they are aware that the 2.7,v-6 engine is trouble. B and d called the nadn company and told them about the engine. I was told that nadn doesn?t like to pay it?s claims. B and d always has to arburtrate over the money for the bill. B and d said to replace this engine would cost $8,600.00 plus tax. When we bought the extended warranty, we paid for it in full, we didn't argue about it. It is still covered! Before we bought the car, lee's auto did an oil change on it. There is a sticker in the windshield that states to have it changed again at 3 months or 3,000 miles. I drove it for 1,736 miles and had it for less than 3 months. Other problems include excessive rpms in idle, the power window in the back passenger side doesn't work, the trip meter doesn't work.
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.
The vehicle stalled while driving. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who determined that cause of the failure was due to sludge in the engine, and installed a new engine. *ak *ph the vehicle would not shift due to a faulty transmission output speed sensor.
While driving home engine seized. Also, replaced the transmission. The electric windows worked sporadically except for the driver's window that did not work at all, and the air conditioner heater fan only worked on high.
I have a 1999 dodge intrepid with 68,000 miles on it. The motor seized on my way home from work and cost 7,000.00 for a new engine. The retail on my car is 5,200.00.
