(quote about $3,400.00-will not know until they tear the transmission apart) the above are the problems that we have had with this car that we purchased brand new in 99. We still owe the bank approx. $7,000.00. The approx. Total of repairs(out of our pockets)$9,700.00. New car cost $22,930.64+$6,420.98(finance charges)=$29,351.62. We did have regular oil changes that we had done professionally and I did it myself.
I bought a 99 dodge intrepid from freedom ford in centre, alabama for a little over $14,000 about a year and a half ago. I went back last summer to trade in and was told that it was not even black booked for half that. Since then I have had to replace the cooling system (the entire system), all the fuses, the sensory module, the tie rods are shot and now the motor has locked up. Several mechanics have looked for a motor and found that the motor for this particular year of intrepid runs $1,500 to $2000 more than all other motors, even the 2001 and newer models run $1000 to $1200 at the most. Their rejection to help me is due to the fact that the 99 model was an experimental motor and very few were made. I teach school and have found a co-worker whose sister has experienced the same problems. Her husband contacted chrysler and after arguing with them, they paid for half of his motor, which knocked his total expense within the normally motor replacement cost. I was given a flat no from chrysler and was told that they only honor this for original car owners with less than 100,000 miles and have an active warranty. Well my friend was a second car owner with more than 110,000 miles, no warranty, and is will to provide the information necessary to prove that he was in my same situation and received assistance in paying for his motor. I also have mechanics who will provide statements that after searching the auctions and hotlines for a motor they found more intrepids on the line with bad motors than any other car, some having as little as 60 and 65 thousand miles. I also have auto parts store owners who suggest that I call chrysler to have them help with the expenses due to the fact that they have helped others. I just get the run around from chrysler with no concern of me having to make a $386 car payment to ford for a piece of junk sitting in my yard, and continue pay $107 a month insurance that has to continued due to state laws.
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.
Various sensor problems. Have replaced on several occasions. Motor has been replaced twice, and going on it's third repair. Have yet to replace any power window/door/seat.
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.
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.
The front power windows fell down without using the controls. *nlm there were fuse/wiring shortages, headlight/interior light flickered without warning, the belts, main power train, A/C belt, and the compressor caught fire and the power steering had become inoperative. *scc the doors did not close properly. *jb
Transmission goes into limp mode in second gear .driver window off track back window works when it get ready andengine light comes when it get ready seat belt retracts sometime I believe my car is falling apart.
Driver's side window motor failed and as a result the window would not roll down.
The pin that holds the gas pedal to the gas pedal bracket on the floor comes out causing the gas pedal to seperate form the bracket. Have also replaced the front rotors and pads. Left front power window motor and righr rear power window motor.
1999 dodge intrepid. Driver's side window: continuously gets off-track. Dirver's seat: 1-seat falls back 2-seat at semi-recline position. Front seat passenger door lock: 1-often will not unlock with key; 2-will unlock only after electronic lock/unlock button on driver's side is used and then manually lifting front passenger door lock; and 3-when using the electronic lock/ unlock button a terrible loud noise is heard. I do not know what, "oem" is or means, therefore I don't know how to properly answer the questions referring to the oem block.
The power windows will come down or up. Mechanic states this could be due to a rubber seal being bad.
While driving and with no warning windshield wipers will work intermittently, and it will be hard for the consumer to see during rainy weather. Dealer notified.
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!
All 4 of my power windows have failed to work and have had their motors replaced at least once. The first 5 times were within my warranty and now my front passenger window has stopped working and it is no longer under warranty. My heating and cooling system locks up on occasion and keeps the heater from working. Dealer has never been able to recreate problem so can't service.
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???!!
The windshield wipers have periodically stopped working unexpectedly, causing a complete loss of vision in rain and salt spray. They move an inch and then stop. Sometimes they can be restarted right away, sometimes not. Occasionally wipers stop in front of driver's vision. This is a serious safety issue. 99 dodge intrepid. Dealer "could not reproduce" problem.
Consumer states that the driver side window fell off the track and will no longer go back up. Contacted dealer and the dealer is not willing to do anything. Nlm
Unable to pull driver side power window. It will not go back, and passenger's side window will not go down.
Steering: I started to feel a slight binding in the steering when trying to return wheel to center from a turn. It got progressively worse to the point where I occasionally had to "wrestle" the steering wheel back to center position. It also feels loose, suspension rattles and I've got 4 inches of play at center. Took it to the dealer and was informed it would cost $1200 to fix. Service rep tried to explain that this was pretty common nowadays with the sealed racks and not just dodge. I've never experienced this type of failure in all of the years I've owned cars and think this is just a poor design that dodge is keeping mum about. The vehicle is only 3 years old with mostly highway driving. I'm purchasing a used rack from a salvage yard and having dodge install it for $380 and then I'm selling it. This car is quickly falling apart. Air conditioning: started hearing a hissing type sound from behind the dash. Soon after A/C did not blow cold air. Control module display also stopped working. Dodge said in order to fix the A/C they had to repair the module. Cost: about $600. I bough a module from a salvage yard and did it myself, saved $500. Then dodge recharged the system only to have it leak out over the next several days. Brought it back to dodge where they found a crack in the evaporator. Replacement cost: $500. Power window motor: right front power window started failing intermittently, then stopped working altogether. Dealer said that the window sometimes gets stuck in the tight weatherstripping due to dirt and grime on the window and I simply need to coax it by my palm pressing down on it while actuating the button. What a bunch of @*$%! Rear right window motor was replaced under warranty, this must be a common problem. Dealer wants $200+ to repair. What a racket! I've never had so many major repairs on a relatively new car in my life, and don't plan to ever again if dodge knows what I mean!!
I purchased a new 99 dodge intrepid in june 1999. Within 2 weeks of the purchase, the front passenger window motor burned out and it was replaced by the dealer. When I took the car home, I discovered the front passenger door would not open from the inside. I went back to the dealer, who said a rod was not reattached to the door when the window motor was replaced. They fixed it and the door worked fine. In april of 2000, the left rear window motor burned out and I went back to the dealer to have it replaced. In february of 2001, I went back to the dealer because the transmission would not shift into 2nd gear. I was told the solenoid pack burned out and needed to be replaced. Herb gordon was not very helpful, so I called chrysler in michigan and told them the problem. The said to pay for the work and send them the original receipt and they would reimburse me for most of the work. I had the work done and sent the receipt. In july of 2001, the transmission had the same problem. Herb gordon said it was the speed sensor and since they would not do the work nor did they offer to cover any part of the work, I called chrysler again. They said to have the work done and send the receipt for reimbursement. I did have the work done. Approximately december 2001, the right rear window stopped working and in january of 2002 the driver's window started to work intermittantly. Herb gordon said the rear motor burned out and the driver's motor was going to burn out, so I called chrysler again. They again said since I was past the original warranty, they would not cover the work. After talking with them, they said they would cover all but $100, but not a rental car even though the work would take a few hours. I learned later the driver's door latch subassembly was going to burn out and I would not be able to use the remote to open the door, only the key. I will not buy another chrysler product because of the problems I have had with the car, dealer and chrysler.
My car stalls when stopped, taken to dealer twice for problem. They finalled replaced the fuel pump after charging me to have computer reprogrammed. Engine stil not ok, but not stalling. When accelerating engine seems to be slipping. The front passenger window was fixed about a month ago and is not working again. Car has been in 2 for new brakes, I have had the rotors replaced and also turned in the 2 years I have owned the car. Car shakes when stopping again, so rotors will need to be turned or replaced again. Why? By looking at this web site it seems everyone is having the same problems with the intrepid. Lots of complaints. Why are there no recalls. We have to keep paying out of pocket for dealer defects. My dealer is 36 miles away. Not easy to get car repaired. That is why window not fixed yet. Help.
1999 dodge intrepid es: when temperature is turned up on climate control and defroster is turned on there is a fluttering noise that can be heard from drivers side dash windshield defroster vent. This excessive noise/fluttering noise is often a distraction when driving. Noise is only when temperature is turned up or turned to heat on climate control. Noise chagnes when temperature is adjusted. Noise sounds like broken damper in ventilation hayward auto chrysler-jeep dealership states they could not duplicate it. I duplicated the problem for service manager gregory martin. He put a card above it to verify that it was blowing air then stated "that's air blowing through the vent, I don't know what we can do about that". He stated he'd have the technician check it out when they remove the dash assembly off to replace the defective dash midrange speaker. They never did, they never did anything about it. None of the similar dodge intrepids I test drove did this.
Car was 4 months old - driving down I-70 and had a blowout. The tire split clean in to. Was told that I must of hit a pot hole. On 9/13/99 I had taken the car into the dealership and told them the tire was losing air. They said they couldn't find a problem, aired up the tire and I left. Little over a month later I had a blow out. I did not hit a pot hole. The tire was defective. I had to replace the tire with my own money.*ak (tiresize: p205/70r15)
While driving out of driveway vehicle accelerated at full speed, causing loss of vehicle control, brakes failed to stop vehicle. Consumer turned ignition switch off to gain control. *ak rear brakes locked causing the vehiclce to skid. The front brakes could not over come the full acceleration of the vehicle. The vehcile has heater and window motor problem. The consumer believes the problem was caused by electronic failure.
Noise or vibration from the passenger side exterior by the side mirror while driving at highway speeds.
3 window motors replaced; dealer stated they had replaced several motors; 2 other customers in same day for same problem. Dealer quickly and professionally took care of problem. Excellent car otherwise.
3 of the 4 power windows have required service.
