problem #8

Apr 072003

Intrepid

  • Automatic transmission
  • 60,000 miles
History includes blown transmission sensor, failure on the very first year inspection for brake rotors, driver's side window sticks in up position, intermittent heat control button not functioning properly, noisy when turning in front strut area, keyless remote does not function properly and now the worst of it. One month ago, took car in with oil and engine lights flashing, ticking noise from engine, stalling out. Dealer did electronic sensors repairs and tune up costing $500. One month later, car had to be towed back to dealer with loud banging in engine. Repair bill of over $6,000 to fix a car I've owned 3 years, 8 months and 60,000 miles. 2.7 L engines are blowing in these cars all the time making it next to impossible to purchase a used one to do repairs myself. One used car parts place said they have a waiting list. Recall anyone"?"!!

problem #6

Feb 142003

Intrepid 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 88,000 miles
I was driving on the interstate as car started a rattling noise and lost power, and would not start again. The car was towed to dealer, and I was told that the engine was blown at 88,000 miles. There were no working dash lights to alert of any problem. The dealer could not give explanation. The car is under full warranty and oil has been changed regularly. Estimated cost 5,000 dollars.

problem #2

Jun 102001

Intrepid

  • miles
Rear passenger's side power window is dead and has failed. When electronic cooling fans for engine turn on automatically as they should during certain engine temperatures front headlights noticeably dim almost looking like they are being flashed for a second or what someone could interoperate as the driver flashing his lights. Headlights also seem to dim slightly when rolling down two windows at the same time. I purchased a professional battery and alternator tester has shown that the vehicles battery and alternator are working as normal. This makes me wonder about the vehicle's electrical system.

In and out of morlans, Inc (Dodge dealer) several times because of the electrical sytem causing the check engine light to come on with many different codes such as rough idle-transmission not shifting /down shifting-transmission control module replaced-camshaft sensor replaced-ignition coil pack replaced-these were done while still under warranty at different dates. Just recently 3/25/01 my transmission went into a limp mode again at 40,000 miles-this time it was a transmission input speed sensor (my cost $92), when I got my car back now my heater- A/C and rear defrost control / vents don't work ? diagnosed problem electrical (charged $50) again with the control head / board control module. I've made several calls to the Chrysler Corp. Without avail for assistance. Please give any help possible to correct these electrical defects. Thank you.
