Intrepid

  • miles
The contact owns a 1999 Dodge Intrepid. While driving 40 mph, the contact's vehicle was struck head-on by an oncoming vehicle and immediately caught fire. Another driver pulled over and removed the passenger from the vehicle before it ignited into flames. The driver was fatally injured. The passenger sustained closed head trauma, a broken pelvis and ribs, and third degree burns. The police arrived and stated that there could have been a possible gasoline leak that could have caused the flames to spread so rapidly. The passenger believes that a recall should have been issued. The vehicle was destroyed and a police report was filed. The mileages were unknown.

Intrepid 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 98,486 miles
Violent shaking of the vehicle. Loud metal clanging type noise. Sudden lack of acceleration. Stalling and failure of power steering at 45 mph. I was returning home from my son's school in heavy traffic and we almost crashed into a brick wall. Fortunately I was strong enough to maintain enough control of the steering wheel to somewhat safely stop the vehicle on the side of the road.

We replaced the #6 injector and the fuel pump. Shortly thereafter the car stopped altogether. We had to have it towed to the dealer to have him tell us that it has a broken timing chain and it would probably cost us $5700 to replace the engine. We had it towed home.
