Tl*the contact owns a 2002 dodge intrepid. When purchasing the vehicle, the dealer would not allow the contact to inspect its undercarriage. Afterwards, the contact had the vehicle inspected and a mechanic informed him that all of the mcpherson struts, the windshield wiper switch, the brakes, and all four rotors needed to be replaced. He further stated that there was excessive fluid in the transmission, which caused the vehicle to shift hard and drive roughly. The failure mileage was 54,000 and current mileage was 73,000. Updated 03-27-08 *bf the brake lights stayed on when the vehicle was shut off. There was a problem with the wiring for the parking lights and headlights. Updated

Windshield wipers will come on by themselves while the switch is off, it will also turn off while in the middle of driving and stop in the middle of the windshield becoming in-operable & no visibility! I was driving on the freeway at 65 MPH during rush hour, in the pouring rain when they stopped on me! Air conditioner) whenever we start up the car, a mildew smell comes out of the vents. This could be a health hazzard for people with lung problems. (fuel) while the car is parked in our garage we smell fuel & the smell of fuel in the car sometimes while driving. The fuel gauge seems to be defective, one moment it registers it has a 1/3 tank, next moment it says you only have a 1/16 of a tank! This car is cursed and is just an accident waiting to happen!

The last couple of months the headlights would go out without warning. Upon clicking the high beam switch they would come back on. Intermittent wipers starting not working also. High beam switch stopped working (not staying in place) day prior to meltdown. While driving home on 11/22/03 there was a smell of something burning. I checked under hood and around outside of car when I got home. Smelled nothing outside. Got back in car and at that point the headlights would not work. Brought car to mechanic and the inside of the steering column (module for high beam/signal/wiper and wiring harness) completely melted. I don't believe there was any fire. Please check into this.
