My car just went from fine to not fine. I felt like it was in 2 gear while driving it. So I had to pull over stop it and make sure I was in the right gear and I was but it wouldn't shift to drive. Stayed in 2 gear. Then check engine light came on and I got two codes. Po700 and po871. I love my car but cant pay thousands of dollars for the repair. This should be recalled, because to many people are having the same issues. Dodge should stand behind there cars or people will stop buying them.

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 dodge intrepid. The contact stated that while driving on an incline, she engaged the accelerator pedal but instead of the vehicle moving forward it rolled backward with an increase in engine rpms. The contact also mentioned that the vehicle would not shift into gear immediately. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the transmission was defective and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance since the vehicle was no longer under warranty. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 141,000 and current mileage was 143,000. Updated 10/31/11 *bf updated 3/29/12

While driving my 2003 dodge intrepid on the freeway at 60 MPH the engine light came on and the vehicle suddenly decelerated. The automatic transmission was stuck in first gear and wouldn't shift to the upper gears no matter how fast I drove. I turned the car off and after starting it approximately ten minutes later it ran fine. I took it to my mechanic and he recommended a transmission flush. After this was done I drove toward my house and the same thing happened. This is very discouraging because the vehicle only has 34,000 miles and was serviced every 3,000 miles since I purchased it.

Car sticks in 2nd gear during driving and frequently stops moving, going into limp mode. While driving the car will not accelerate and the RPM will go from 2 to 4. When decelerating and breaking, it will act erratic often as if it was placed in neutral and jerk. While in a parking lot surrounded by pedestrians the did the same and did not stop as it should have. This problem is unpredictable and can lead to accidents as it may occur at any time (on the freeway and hillsides). Dealerships will tell people the computer is returning a p1776 and p0700 code. I was told to get another transmission. A different repair station suggested a new solenoid pack for the 2003 dodge intrepid es 3.5l. The solenoid pack with build date ranges from 3001 and 0603 may be defective (search "21-008-04 rev. A" service bulletin). This is a big problem because it will destroy your transmission if not addressed properly and has almost caused an accident involving pedestrians. Please have your serviceman check the build on the solenoid pack.

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.

My car's transmission became disengaged from the third or fourth gear and dropped down to second gear while I was on the freeway. The RPM gauge went up to 5000 rpms before I let off the gas realizing the car would not shift. With oncoming traffic behind me and my car preferring to be in 2nd gear, I was at risk of being rear-ended. Researching the problem revealed that it was a transmission speed sensor that had failed and further investigation into online forums for problems with the make and model revealed that others had similar issues in the past with their vehicles.

1999 dodge intrepid 2.7 liter 4 door 200,000 miles clean car would not shift into it's parking gear after a short trip. After several attempts I was able to shift the car into park. The next morning the car would not shift out of park. I tried with considerable force and the shift cable broke..I removed the center console and repaired the shift cable arm which had bent and twisted in a forward direction allowing the cable to fall off. I was able to reshape the damaged arm and re attach the cable..the car still would not shift. The engine was running so I know it is not a shift cable inter-lock problem...I have know idea as to what created the problem. I have had regular oil changes and inspection made to the transmission, there was not any slippage..the parking paw would not engage and then not release...I allowed the car to warn to a normal operating temperature..I then tried to shift the car from park and it did without any resistance. I still need to have the shift cable adjusted, the car is operating in park/reverse/neutral and drive only... I am worried that this condition could happen again...have you any further reports of this occurrence?

We have had so many problems with our dodge intrepid leading up to the failure of the engine. First, the engine starting stalling, we would have to restart the car and it wouldn't shift from one gear to another. Then there was a leak in the coolant pipe so we had to replace that. My boyfriend then drove the car for few hours straight to go visit his family. He couldn't get the car started to come home. Finally he got it started and started driving home. It died on the way home and hasn't been running since. We have been without a car because it costs so much to get it repaired and we can't sell it because we would hardly get anything for it.

I had a recall performed on vehicle last year at martin dodge in bowling green, ky. After getting the services rendered I noticed several problems. One was that the turn signals were no longer operable, automatic transmission would not shift past second gear and would miss gears repeatedly, and ABS brakes failed. Also noticed that suspension was worse after they performed suspension recalls. I have tried on several occasions to contact the dealership and they only suggested that I bring it for a diagnostic at my cost, even though the problems existed after getting the recalls fixed. I incurred court cost of $166.00 because of improper equipment and the buy, here, pay here lot was requesting $2,280 for a car that I had no choice but to junk it because no being able to pass inspection for the road. I would appreciate anything you could do to aid in me absorbing the cost of this situation.
