What 2000 Dodge Intrepid owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The car was driven into the driveway and put the car in park. He got of the car and opened the gate. At that time, the vehicle slipped out of park and began rolling down the driveway. It hit the curb, then a small tree on the front lawn of the house across the street and finally came to rest on the front stoop of the said house.
I was driving home from having body work done, the engine light came on, then 3 seconds later the motor stalled. I put transmission in neutral and started the engine and drove for 50 feet before it happened again. This time engine would not restart. I pulled off the road and called the company that did the body work. They retrieved the car soon after. Subsequently, was told my engine failed due to lack of maintenance, ie; oil change.
Car was running great, without any indication of problems. Car died and would not start. Resulting in engine failure.
I stopped at a stop sign, turned left, accelerated to about 35 MPH and heard a "clunk", the engine stopped running and I coasted to the side of the road, got out and looked under the hood and saw the timing chain sticking through the housing. I called a tow truck and had the vehicle towed to a repair shop. The repair shop is waiting for the after-market warranty company to decide what they will pay for and what is to be done.
Engine and transmission and A/C failure of dodge intrepids.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving 55mph on the highway under normal conditions, the engine revved up and down without warning. The vehicle was inspected by a dealer who determined the power control module of the engine failed. The power control module was replaced along with the cam/crank shaft sensor. Afterwards, the check engine light illuminated without incident. The vehicle was taken to another dealership for further inspection, it was determined there was a failure of the power control module. The manufacturer was not alerted.
Dt*: the contact stated the check engine and oil lights illuminated while driving 35 MPH on dry city pavement. A noise was heard prior to the incident. The vehicle was driven home and later towed to an independent repair shop who replaced the engine and transmission.
I have a defective 2.7 l engine in my car. I had just pulled into a driveway when it quit. The timing chain guides broke, and there was so much sludge in the engine it looked like the oil had never been changed. I have always had my oil changed every 3000 miles. I had the engine steamed 7 months prior to this incident for sludge buildup. I also spent around 2000.00 having every single sensor replaced, as well as all of the hoses in the engine and transmission. I had to have the steering line fixed less than 2 months after I purchased the vehicle. I had no idea that there were so many people with the same engine problems as I have had out of this car. I have lost my job, and my children have missed so many doctor and dentist appointments that I have lost count I still owe 2 years on this car, but how do you pay for something that has turned out to be america's biggest death trap when you can't keep it running?
Dt*: the contact stated the floor shifter ignition-park interlock failed allowing the shifter to move out of the park position with the key removed. The vehicle rolled in the direction of the incline each time. There is a the federal safety agency recall, # 04v021000, regarding the floor shifter. The vehicle has the same problems as indicated in the recall; however it is not included in the recall due to the VIN.
