DODGE TRANSMISSION ON INTREPIDS, CARAVANS, AND NEONS HAVE A HISTORY OF FAILING AND NEEDING TO BE REPLACED OR REBUILT. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 55800 MILES ON IT ALL ORIGINAL. EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS 15 YEARS OLD IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN MAINTAINED SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED FROM THE DEALER BRAND NEW IN 1995. I BELIEVE THAT IF DODGE IS NOT HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PROBLEMS THEN SOMEONE CAN SERIOUSLY GET INJURED FROM THEM. WHETHER IT BE FROM THE TRANSMISSION FAILING ON THE HIGHWAY AND CAUSING ACCIDENTS OR SOMETHING BREAKING WHILE JUST DRIVING AND CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY. *TR

HEADLAMPS MADE OF SOFT PLASTIC OR BADLY MADE BECOME SCRATCHED AND FOGGY AND LIGHT IS REDUCED OVER TIME. REPLACEMENT OF BOTH LIGHTS FOR PARTS IS $144.*AK
Dec 21, 2004
THE HEADLIGHTS IN THE CAR ARE ONE COMPONENT, WHICH THERE IS NO WAY OF CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE LENSES. OVER TIME THEY GET A CLOUDY EFFECT WHICH DULLS THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE HEADLIGHTS. THE CAR I HAVE JUST PURCHASE HAS THIS PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLIGHTS, WHICH IS A 1995 INTREPID. IF THESE HEADLIGHTS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE AIRTIGHT WHICH NO MOISTURE IS TO GET IN THEN I THINK IT IS THE MAKER OF THIS PRODUCT OR OF THE CAR MANUFACTURES TO REPLACE THESE HEADLIGHTS.THE COST OF THESE LIGHTS IS A OUTRAGES PRICE AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE PAID BY THE CONSUMER. YOU WILL PROBABLY SAY IT IS BECAUSE OF THE YEAR OF THE CAR AND THAT PARTS WEAR OUT . THE PRICE OF SOME PARTS IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN A CAR IS RETARDED , BUT THAT COMES WITH OWNING A VEHICLE. I DO NOT THINK THAT THIS PART SHOULD FALL UNDER THE SAME CATEGORY . WITH THE WAY THE HEADLIGHTS ARE I THINK IT IS A SAFETY PROBLEM, IT INPAIRS YOUR VISION BECAUSE OF THE DULLNESS OF THE LIGHTS. I JUST SOLD A 1989 CULTLASS CIERA WHICH HAD BRIGHTER HEADLIGHTS THEN THIS CAR.*AK

STEERING,SUSPENSION
8 complaints
FACTORY STRUTS(SUSPENSION) ARE INADEQUATE TO SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE. MY STRUT MOUNT/PLATE &BOLTS BROKE AT 55 MILE PER HOUR & THE STRUT WENT THROUGH THE STRUT HOUSING/PLATE. THE STEERING/SUSPENSION SYSTEM IS COMPLETELY AFFECTED WHEN THE STRUTS BEGIN TO FAIL ON ALL VEHICLES. WHEN STRUTS FAIL SPRINGS ALSO FAIL CAUSING EVEN MORE STRESS ON THE OTHER STEERING/SUSPENSION PARTS(ALL BUSHINGS, TIE RODS. CONTROL ARMS, BALL JOINTS, CV JOINTS, TRANSAXLE, SWAY BAR. I HOPE IM MAKING SENSE, THIS NEEDS SERIOUS EXAMINATION AS CLUNK/ BUMP NOISES EVERY INTREPID ARE BAD STRUTS OR BAD STRUT MOUNT/BOLTS WHICH IMMEDIATELY INDICATE YOUR SUSPENSION/STEERING SYSTEM IS BEING BANGED UP. THE INNER TIE ROD BOLTS IN STEERING RACK BACK OUT OR TRY TO DUE TO TORN BUSHINGS IN THE INNER TIE RODS AT THE STEERING RACK CENTER. THESE BUSHINGS TEAR DUE TO WORN STRUTS THAT PUT STRESS ON TIE RODS SWAY BAR& STEERING RACK MOUNT BUSHINGS BOTH COMPRESS WITH THE EXTRA STRESS OF FAILING STRUTS. STEERING RACK SHIFTS DUE TO BAD INNER TIE ROD BUSHINGS CAUSING PLAY IN YOUR TIE RODS AND THE STEERING RACK MOUNT BUSHINGS NOW COMPRESSED CAUSE THE RACK TO SHIFT ALSO. SAME WITH SWAY BAR BUSHINGS&ANY OTHER SUSPENSION PARTS AND STEERING WHEN THIS HAPPENS SUCH AS INNER TIE RODS, OUTER TIE RODS, CV JOINTS, TRANSAXLE, BALL JOINTS,ALL BUSHINGS,LINKAGES,MOUNTS,CRADLE CAR WAS BUILT DEFECTIVELY AS THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE IS TOO MUCH FORCE FOR THE STRUTS THAT COME FACTORY INSTALLED. THERE NEEDS TO BE AN IMMEDIATE CALL BACK ON THE STRUTS WITH A SERVICE ORDER TO EXAMINE AND REPAIR TORN OR COMPRESSED BUSHINGS IN THE INNER TIE RODS/STEERING RACK MOUNTING/SWAY BAR/BALL JOINT/CONTROL ARM/OUTER TIE ROD/ALONG WITH ANY DAMAGE TO THE CV JOINT&TRANSAXLES DUE TO THE DESIGN DEFECT USING INADEQUATE STRUTS FOR THE VEHICLES WEIGHT! THIS MAY SEEM LIKE AN EXTREME REQUEST BUT SINCE THEY WERE NEGLIGENT TO NEVER REPORT THE INADEQUACY OF THE STRUTS VS DESIGN IN ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON STEERING/SUSPENSION A RECALL IS IN ORDER. *TR

I HAVE READ OF MANY 4 SPEED CC TRANSMISSION FAILURES AND THAT FACT HAS ALSO BEEN CONFIRMED WITH MY DEALERSHIP. MY UNIT IS NO LONGER UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. MY UNIT HAS METICULOUSLY BEEN MAINTAINED IN HOPES OF AVOIDING PROBLEMS..TO NO AVAIL. THERE IS A REAL PROBLEM WITH THESE 4SPD TRANSMISSION UNITS.THEY SHOULD BE RECALLED! AS WELL AS THE TRANS COOLING LINES AND SEALS LEAKING! $1370.00 OUT THE WINDOW!
Jan 10, 1999
THE TRANS ONLY WORKS WHEN AT LOW SPEEDS, TOO MUCH GAS AND THEN IT STARTS TO SLIP OR HAS NO GEAR AT ALL. THIS HAS CAUSED PROBLEMS WHEN TRYING TO CROSS AN INTERCETION AND THE TRANS, WILL KICK OUT WHEN I'M IN THE MIDDLE WITH ONCOMEING TRAFFIC. THE AIR ONLY WORKED FOR A LITTLE WHILE AFTER I GOT THE CAR. NOW IT JUST BLOWS HOT AIR, AND HAS A FUNNY SMELL TO IT. IT ALSO EVERY NOW AND THEN WILL LOOK LIKE FROST OR FOG IS COMING OUT THE VENTS, HAD TO REPLACE AN 02 SENSER, WAS TOLD THERE IS ALSO ONE MORE IN THE CAR, AND ITS PROBLEY BAD HAVE BAD GAS MILIAGE AND SMELLS OF GAS IN THE MAIN CAB.

THERE WERE 3 PROBLEMS RELATING TO AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION; 1) WHILE STOPPING AT AN INTERSECTION AND THEN PROCEDING TO CROSS, THE CAR WOULDN'T GO FORWARD. THE TRANSMISSION LINE HAD COME OFF AND ALL THE TRANSMISSION FLUID HAD SPRAYED ACROSS THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE CAR. THE TRANSMISSION LINE WAS FIXED AT A DODGE DEALERSHIP. 2) TWO WEEKS LATER, WHILE DRIVING 65MPH ON A HIGHWAY, THE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE AND THE ENGINE WAS RACING OUT OF CONTROL. THE TRANSMISSION KEPT SURGING IN AND OUT OF GEAR AND WE PULLED THE CAR OFF THE SHOULDER RIGHT BEFORE THE CAR WOULDN'T SHIFT AT ALL. AGAIN THE TRANSMISSION LINE HAD COME OFF AND ALL THE TRANSMISSION FLUID HAD SPILLED OUT. WE HAD ANOTHER DODGE DEALERSHIP INSTALL A NEW TRANSMISSION LINE. 3) A WEEK LATER, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO REVERSE UNLESS THE CAR WAS SHIFTED INTO DRIVE THEN BACK TO REVERSE SEVERAL TIMES. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, IT WOULD SHUG ALONG IN AND OUT OF GEAR UNTIL IT DECIDED TO SHIFT INTO THE CORRECT GEAR. WE ENDED UP GETTING THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT. SEVERAL TRANSMISSION SHOPS THAT WE WENT TO FOR ESTIMATES SAID THAT THEY SEE AN UNUSUALLY HIGH NUMBER OF CHRYSLER PRODUCTS (EVEN 1998 MODELS) THAT REQUIRED THE TRANSMISSION TO BE REBUILT. WE SPENT $1,500 IN HAVING THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT AND IN TIME AND $ LOST TO FIXING THE FIRST TWO TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. WE HAVE TAKEN EXCELLENT CARE OF THIS CAR AND BELIEVE THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE CAR . THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED, AS THERE ARE DESIGN ENGINEERING PROBLEMS IN THE CHRYSLER TRANSMISSIONS. *AK

I HAVE A 1995 DODGE INTREPID. UNTIL 4 MONTHS AGO, IT NEVER HAD A PROBLEM, ONLY DID ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND THAT WAS CONSTANTLY DONE. IT HAS A NEW TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR (UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY), AND NEW STARTER, ALTERNATOR, AND BATTERY. THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED ABOUT 2-3 YEARS AGO. FOUR MONTHS AGO, THE CAR STARTED TO ACT UP. FIRST, I NOTICED A "BURNT OIL OR ANTI-FREEZE" SMELL. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC, WHO I HAVE HAD FOR MORE THAN 15 YEARS. HE COULDN'T FIND ANY LEAKS OR PROBLEMS AND REMINDED ME THAT ALL THE HOSES AND ACCESSORIES WERE REPLACE A YEAR BEFORE. HE SAID THAT HE SAW NOTHING DRIPPING OR BUILDING UP ANYWHERE. A WEEK LATER, I WOULD DRIVE IT SOMEWHERE, GET OUT AND DO WHATEVER IT WAS I NEEDED TO DO, GO BACK AND IT WOULDN'T START. EVERYTHING SOUNDS NORMAL, LIKE IT WANTS TO START, BUT DOESN'T. IF I WAIT 30-90 MINUTES AND TRY AGAIN, IT WILL START RIGHT UP AND A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON, BUT GO BACK OFF WITHIN A FEW MINUTES. A MONTH LATER THINGS GOT WORSE. IT STARTED TO DIE WHILE DRIVING. I WOULD BE IN THE CAR FOR LESS THAN 10 MILES AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH WOULD "FLASH" AND THE CAR WOULD DIE. IT TAKES BETWEEN 2-3 HOURS BEFORE GETTING IT TO RESTART WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS PUTS ME IN SERIOUS DANGER AS THE CAR NO LONGER HAS POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES AND I LIVE ON A MOUNTAIN WITH NO WHERE I CAN GET OFF THE ROAD. I HAVE NEARLY BEEN HIT/KILLED WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED. SINCE THEN, I CAN'T GO 1 MILE WITHOUT IT DYING OR NOT START AGAIN. AS A MATTER-OF-FACT, IF I LEAVE IT IDLING IN MY DRIVEWAY, IT WILL DIE WITH 2-4 MINUTES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY SHOP 4 TIMES AND 2 OTHER ONES TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG. THEY ALL SAY THAT SINCE THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT ONLY FLASHES AND THEN GOES OFF, THE COMPUTER CAN'T CATCH THE PROBLEM. SOMETIMES THEY THINK IT IS THE FUEL PUMP OR FUEL LINES; SOMETIMES THEY THINK IT IS ELECTRICAL; MOST OF THE TIME THEY JUST HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS WRONG! *TR

AFTER OWNING THIS CAR FOR ONLY 9 MONTHES , IT HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE. AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR I STARTED TO HEAR ALL KINDS OF COMMENTS FROM PREVIOUS INTREPID OWNERS AS TO HOW UNSAFE AND WHAT A LEMON THESE CARS WERE. THIS CAR WAS CONSTANTLY FAILING. ON THE ROAD, ON THE INTERSTATE, ON MY WAY HOME LATE AT NIGHT. ALL THE PROBLEMS STARTED JUST ONE MONTH AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR. IT WAS ON GOING, NEVER STOPPPED. UNFORTUNANTLY THERE HAD TO BE AN END TO THE TROUBLE AND AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WAS DUMPED INTO THIS PEICE OF JUNK CAR. THE ONLY RESPONSE I HAVE GOTTEN FROM CHRYSLER WAS, SORRY. I ALLOWED CHRYSLER TO REPO IT ONLY BECAUSE I HAD MY BACK AGAINST THE WALL. I ONLY HOPE TO GRAB SOMEBODYS ATTENTION SO THAT FUTHER INVESTIGATION WILL FOLLOW INTO THESE CARS. INTERPIDS ARE POORLY DESIGNED CARS AND ARE NOT SAFE TO BE OUT ON THE ROAD!
