problem #26

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.

I purchased this vehicle with the intent on having last through the pay-off. I am very concerned about this happening. At 30,000 mile the air-conditioning system went out completely and had to be replaced. At 50,000 the transmission went out and had to be replaced. A transmission was replaced at a Dodge dealer but I was only given 12,000 mile warranty. At 70,000 miles the front-end struts, strut plates, inner tie rods, and other was replace. This front end is still not right as it drifts and has too much play in the steering. Many others with the exact same repairs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
