For the past 3 or 4 years now I have been having engine related problems with my car. Recently things got worse. My heat will not work unless the car is moving, grayish spoke coming from the exhaust pipe and overheating. I went to a website that was talking about my type of car and the many engine troubles other people are having. The website claimed that I could receive help with getting my car fix due to the many defects with the engines of these cars. The website described everything my car is doing now.

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.

Bought 3 years ago used, it had emissions issues with the original engine. At about 74,000 miles the engine block cracked. Engine design does not allow for it to cool itself properly while running and results in the oil burning within before the engine can circulate it which finally results in the "sludge" that so many owners have a problem with and only perseverant the high heat issue as less oil is circulated to cool the engine. My engine's block cracked providing evidence of the engine getting too hot with no gauge warning of overheating because it is "overheating" within the system before it gets to the sensor etc, therefore it is not a poor maintenance issue but poor design and manufacturing. With a "rebuilt" engine it shakes, hesitates and emits smoke with clean oil and filter and no evidence of sludge within!! Now at under 96000 original miles and 22000 rebuilt engine the A/C coil has busted under the high pressure caused by the high engine temperature. The A/C pressure varies with engine pressure which varies with engine heat (still no overheating warning on the gauges). It is only addressed now that it is summer and too hot to drive without A/C. Unfortunately because of the design it will cost around $850 to replace a $80-120 part because the entire dash/firewall must come out along with many other components to get to it (and then those reinstalled afterward). The battery was sucked of power around this time and the motors controlling the windows & mirrors have broken. The keyless entry system has gone as well.

I own a 1999 dodge intrepid and need two windows fixed regulators in the door. The garage I brought my car to said he has replaced a lot of these regulators in the 1999 dodge intrepid. I feel that if it needs to be fixed for inspection then there must be some safety reason. Every time I am on the turnpike I have to open my door to hand out the money. I feel that there should be a recall on this problem.

Over usage of oil. Could not make it from one oil change to the next. Took it in faithfully every 3 months. Fans went out. Faulty intake replaced. A/c went out, drivers side window falls off track. Motor out in drives side back window. Passenger side door sticks and wont open. Engine blows. All major repairs occurred within a four month period, the minor items have been occurring for approx. A year. The car has low miles. I can no longer have repairs made to this vehicle and make payments at the same time. I will return it to the bank. It has been in and out of the shop for the past four months.

While driving at highway speed, the vehicle unexpectedly shut off. The consumer had to coast down the ramp to a safe stop. *ak the engine was rebuilt. The engine experienced oil sludge. The driver side window need to be fixed because it was off track, the fan in the radiator had gone out, the sensors had gone out, the inside lights did not work, the alarm did not work, and the door lights did not work. *sc the transmission had problems has well.

Heard a grinding noise when I used the driver side power window, eventually the window was tilted as it was going up and down. Seems to be off the track. Window if not guided by hand does not stay within seals along side and at top. Also the passenger window on driver side is no longer operating.
