problem #5

Oct 232005

Intrepid 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 85,000 miles
The contact stated while driving the front passenger tire fell off the vehicle. Had the inner and outer tie rods replaced twice. Did one replacement before the tire fell off. The second replacement was done after the tire came off. The replacements did not remedy the problem. While driving it felt as though the wheels were falling off. When hitting a bump while driving there was a snapping noise from underneath the vehicle. Another concern was the electrical system. Only one headlight will work on bright and only one will work on dim. The contact replaced both bulbs in the headlights, but this did not remedy the problem. He checked the fuses, and there were no problems with them. Also, the headlight switch fell off without being hit or knocked off.

problem #3

Jan 221999

Intrepid

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
Transmission has broken twice in my 1 1/2 years owning a Dodge Intrepid. On the first occasion, in the summer of 1998, car began to idle very high but moved extremely slowly when pushing the accelerator. On the second occasion, Jan. 1999, the car would begin to move extremely slow when pushing the accelerator. However, it did not idle high. After a few seconds, there would be a forceful kick from the back. The car would then accelerate normally. Also, the car would sometimes slip out from the drive gear into the reverse gear without notice. Furthermore, headlight switch became stuck and unable to turn into the on position.
