problem #3

Jun 242002

Intrepid 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 55,000 miles
I bought this car on 3/2002. Since I bought it I have replaced the starter three times; had a full front end replacement; new engine put in; new transmission; studs broke from the front tire and while the tire was rolling down the road my card was skidding down the road with my 2 month old granddaughter in the car. Now the electronic system is completely screwed up and the car is not even running. I have all my paperwork where the repairs were done. I believe that Chrysler needs to replace this vehicle "no questions asked" because we have spent over $6,000 fixing this piece of junk.

Intrepid 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 80,000 miles
The engine failed twice, it was an oil sludge. Has paper work from Chrysler stating they would pay $850, and by signing this consumer would give up all future rights. Mechanic determin ed that timing chain broke. The first major problem occurred ayear ago and mechanic replaced oil pump, the rod bearings, main bearing, and timing chain. Did the oil changes every 3,000. In the owner's manual it recommended every 7,000. Miles.
