My car began running roughly at low speeds of 15-35 mph, like in stop and go traffic. this lasted for about 200 miles (3weeks) I live close to work. and then i was going 40 mph and it kicked into neutral. i had it towed. then they called me the next day and said it was fine, and then the next day the garage took it for a drive and towed it back... stupid piece of crap. the car only has 57000 miles on it and i have treated it well. now i am told i have to replace my transmission. the one i am getting from the salvage yard has 20000 miles on it so i figure it will last me about 3 years if it does as well as this one. that one will only cost 850. one from chrysler will cost 2325. now looking at this i see the 2.7 engines have sludge problems. I can hardly wait. the only reason i bought this car was because my 95 treated me so well. and i just saw it the other day so its treating someone else well now. and to think i bought this car because i thought the 95 was getting too risky. boy was i ever wrong............................

Even the extended 75,000 mile warranty did not cover the transmission control module. This is a pretty expensive item not to be covered by Dodge. My last Dodge or Chrysler product.

i bought this 2001 Dodge Intrepid,2.7L engine for my son about 14 months ago, and a week after i bought it, the transmission went out and that was $2200 to rebuild the whole transmission... now the water pump goes out, and ruins the whole engine because dodge puts the water pump INSIDE the engine... i have just learned how these engines are nothing but junk so am undecided on fixing it... if Dodge cant honor their screw-ups, i wouldnt buy a car from them ever again!!!... lets show Dodge how word of mouth can go far and that the CONSUMER can control their sales!!!... lets put Dodge out of business!!!
