Intrepid 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 236,000 miles
The contact owns a 1996 Dodge Intrepid. The vehicle has cooper lifeliner touring sle tires, size 205/60R15. The contact stated that the tread separated from the front driver and passenger side tires, which caused them to blow out. The failures caused the fender to detach from the vehicle. He notified the manufacturer, but they have not responded. The speed, VIN, and dot number were unavailable. The tire failure mileage was 10,000 and the current and failure mileages were 236,000.

Intrepid 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 85,000 miles
Purchased 1996 Dodge Intrepid in May 2005. Following week had to take car back to dealer re: Brakes, to no avail. A mechanic stated brakes will need to be replaced. Was advised that tires were not in such great condition either. Kept hearing strange sounds (rattling noises) from the car. In August, smoke started coming from under the hood. Car would not steer at all. Had to take car to mechanic, who told us fan belt had come off while driving. Power steering pump had to be replaced and power steering line. He also advised that rack and pinion would need to be replaced. Finally, on August 26th, was getting in car to drive and did not get very far, when the car came to a sudden stop and made a loud noise. Got out of the car and found two bolts on the ground. Please help !!! distressed. Do we have any recourse here? have receipts, but do not have old parts.
