Filed Aug 23, 2010 · Transmission · 123,000 miles · AR

I own a 2002 dodge intrepid it has approx. 125,000 miles on it just got out of the shop 300 for transmission and it is not fixed it started to rain really hard mid june 10 since then car goes into what I know now as limp mode it goes into second gear and wont come out unless you pull over turn off and restart was fixing to call actual dodge place then read on the internet of all the problems that are being had with these transmissions and engines as well. My car has started over heating. No warning has fluids. For 300 had everything services with fluids etc and an additive put in and told don't know how to replace transmission then I read person after person saying they are replacing the transmission over and over again and it is quitting in the middle of the road or continues to do what mine does. I am afraid I am going to get hit I was almost hit about a week ago by a diesel because it went to about 43 then jerked and went into second gear diesel right on my tail furious because I had to slow down RPM went up to 4 afraid going to blow the motor up no shoulder due to construction was trying to get out of the way before he slammed into me it is scary when it jerks I am afraid at some point I wont be able to get out of the way or I will be in a bad area and have to shut it off and it will lock up like so many others have. So now I don't know what to do with the car.

At 60k miles I had to have a brand new transmission put in, and just 1 week ago I took it into the dealership and they say I need a new engine! It only has 84k miles on it. I don't even owe as much as it will cost me to fix the car, I am very upset. I have taken good care of my car, and to have so major problems with a new car is very disappointing.

2002 dodge intrepid. 2.7l motor, with a 42le automatic transmission. With only 84000 miles on the odometer, and being driven quite moderately by my wife, this transmission failed, costing me $1714.00 in repairs. This was my first, and only chrysler vehicle purchase. I have had ford and gm products that have gone well over 100000 with never a transmission problem.

The intrepid has a history of transmission failure, this can be deadly at any given time. Once I was driving on route 22 and the vehicle was just trying to cut off in the middle of stepping on the gas. That's a tragedy waiting to happen.

After having our 2002 dodge intrepid serviced for transmission failure. We noticed engine starting to knock. Wasn't sure if it was transmission or engine. Ruled out transmission,took to dealer, dealer says sludge build up in pan causing engine failure,normal oil changes done,at 3400 miles average. Manual calls for 7500 mile oil changes, engine bearings bad, replacement costs upwards of 5000.00 working with dealer now on getting it replaced, engine should not have failed this soon.
