1995 Dodge Intrepid complaints

TRANSMISSION SHUDDER. ENGINE COMPUTER INTERMITENLY WILL NOT ALLOW TRANSMISSION INTO GEAR. TRANSMISSION SERVICED BY DEALER. PROBLEM GOT WORSE. TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT AT 21,345 MILES, NOW NEEDS TO BE REBUILT AGAIN AT 82,800. CHRYSLER STATES THAT THE WARRANTEE HAS EXPIRED AND THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE. MY POSITION IS THAT A TRANSMISSION SHOULD LAST LONGER THEN 60K MILES AFTER REBUILD. THE CORRECT MAINTAINANCE WAS DONE INCLUDING USING THE RIGHT TRANSMISSION FLUID.

AIR CONDITIONER IS BLOWING OUT WARM AIR, AND THERE IS A BAD ODOR COMING FROM THE AIR CONDITIONER. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP TWICE, AND THEY CAN'T DETERMINE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, AND THERE IS NO COOLING. *AK

CLUNKING AND RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM FRONT SUSPENSIONON ON SMALL BUMPS OR FREE PLAY IN THE STABILIZER LINK BALL JOINT SOCKET(S).THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT IF NOT FIXED THE BALL JOINT COULD GO. I KNOW THAT THERE WAS A TSB ISSUED ON THIS PROBLEM IN !995. TODAY, 11/05/98, WHEN I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER I WAS TOLD THAT THEY CAN NOT HELP BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE. I FEEL THIS TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT SINCE THEY KNEW ABOUT IT IN 1995 AND THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE MADE DUE TO THE POSSIBLE DANGER INVOLVED. VERY TRULY YOURS JOSEPH CORBO
