CAR HAS 47,000 MILES, JUST HAD OIL CHANGE THREE WEEKS PRIOR. I DROVE IT ROUGHLY 3,000 MILES IN THAT TIMEFRAME. CAR EXPIRED ON INTERSTATE 95, A NEAR DEATH EXP. I CHECKED THE FLUIDS AND SAW THAT THAT I WAS COMPLETLY OUT OF OIL. FOOLISHLY, I REPLACED IT THINKING I MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET THIS GOING BUT IT WAS DEAD.TOWED BACK TO PHILLY ,($300) TO MY INDEPENDENT SHOP. THEY SAID I DEFINETLY HAD A SEVER ENGINE PROBLEM. I ASKED THEM IF THEY COULD HAVE FORGOTTEN TO PUT IN THE OIL IN THE LAST OIL CHANGE. THEY STATED THAT I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TRAVEL THAT DISTANCE IF THEY DID. THE DEALERSHIP AND CHRSLER STATED THAT THE CAR COULD NOT HAVE CONSUMED THAT MUCH OIL IN THAT TIMEFRAME WITHOUT SEEING PLUMES OF SMOKE.THEY SAID IT WAS THE INDEPENDENT GARAGE THAT SCREWED UP AND IT WOULD COST ME $6K TO HAVE THE ENGINE REPLACED. JUDGING FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN ON THIS SITE ,I BE;IEVE THAT CHRYSLER HAS A PROBLEM AND THAY ARE NOT ADMITTING IT. WE NEED HELP FROM THIS ENTITY (NHTSA) TO FIGHT THIS MONSTER. *AK

MY ENGINE JUST SIDDENLY DIED ON ME WITH NO NOTICE. I HAVE ONLY OWNED THE VECHILE FOR ONE YEAR AND HAVE A FIVE YEAR OBLIGATION.THERE WAS NO NOTICE OF FAILURE JUST FAILED AS I WAS DRIVING. *AK

INJURIES WHERE SUSTAINED TO NECK AND BACK WHICH WAS CONFIRMED BY MEDICAL EXPERTISE. I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THE INJURIES WHERE FROM THE SEAT BREAKING, GIVING NO SUPPORT THUS ALLOWING MY BODY TO JOLT BACKWARD AND BOUNCE AROUND.THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFTEY HAZARD THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE LIVES ARE LOST. *AK

CONSUMER STATED THAT GEAR INDICATOR SHIFT CABLE BROKE WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK

MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILED AT APPROXIMATELY 57,000 MILES ON MY 2001 INTREPID R/T. I WAS AT A STOPLIGHT AND IT WAS LIKE I HIT SOMETHING. I COULD ONLY MOVE IN 3RD GEAR AT THAT POINT. I TOOK MY CAR TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP, AND THEY PROCEEDED WITH REPAIRS. AFTER REMOVING AND COMPLETELY TEARING DOWN MY TRANSMISSION, I WAS OFFERED TWO OPTIONS. THE FIRST WAS A STOCK REBUILD, JUST AS IT CAME FROM THE MANUFACTURER. IT WAS THE OPTION I CHOSE AND COST ME $1800 AFTER TAXES. THE OTHER OPTION WAS REPLACING THE SAME PARTS, BUT WITH UPDATES THAT ARE RECOMMENDED BY DAIMLER CHRYSLER. THAT OPTION WAS $2200 BEFORE TAXES. THE INTERESTING THING IS THAT DAIMLER CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEMS IF THEY RECOMMEND THE UPDATES. THE TRANSMISSION SHOP KNEW OF THE PROBLEMS BECAUSE THE OPTION I CHOSE CARRIED A 6 MONTH/6,000 MILE WARRANTY. THE OTHER (UPDATED) OPTION CARRIED A 3YR/36,000 MILE WARRANTY. THEY KNOW THAT THOSE PARTS ARE MOST LIKELY TO FAIL AGAIN, HENCE THE SHORT 6 MONTH WARRANTY. I HAVE A FEW OF THE PARTS SAVED FROM THE REPAIRS. ONE OF THE PLANETARY GEARS IS COMPLETELY DESTROYED, IN MANY PIECES. THE GEARS ARE WORN SEVERELY. I CAN SUPPLY PICTURES OF THESE IF NEEDED. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH DAIMLER CHRYSLER THROUGH THEIR CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE WEBSITE AND HAVE COMPLETE DOCUMENTATION OF OUR DISCUSSIONS, WORD FOR WORD. THEY BLAMED IT ON EVERYTHING EXCEPT THEMSELVES. THE REPRESENTATIVE EVEN TOOK A CONDESCENDING TONE TOWARDS ME IN HIS LAST REPLY. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM THEY ARE AWARE OF, O

WHEN THE CONSUMER TRIED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL, IT BECAME STUCK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC WHO REPAIRED THE RACK AND PINION. *JB

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLES BRAKES LOCKED UP. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. *NLM

THE ENGINE STALLED, THE DEALER REPLACED THE ENGINE, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM RECURRED. *JB

I HAVE A 2001 INTREPID, BOUGHT IT WITH 7,995 MILES ON IT. FROM THE TIME I PURCHASED THE CAR I HAD A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAD THE CAR BACK IMMEDIATELY AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE TIRES AND CAUSED NO SAFETY RISK. THIS BECAME WORSE, I TOOK IT BACK AGAIN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, ONLY NOW WORSE ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THEY NOW TOLD ME THAT THE ROTORS WERE WORN AND NEEDED TO BE TURNED DOWN. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS NOT COVERED SINCE THE WARRANTY WAS ONLY GOOD FOR 15,000 MILES AND THIS HAD BEEN EXCEEDED. WELL THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTED, AND NOW I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS. THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES AND NOW 2 YEARS LATER HAVE TO REPLACE THE ROTORS, BRAKE PADS, AND SOME TELL ME TO CHANGE TO BRAKE HOSES AND THE CALIPERS ALONG WITH THIS. MY DEALER DOES NOT WANT TO WORK WITH ME, BUT CAN STAND THERE AND TELL ME THAT THIS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE INTREPID, CONCORDE, LXI, 300M --- AND THE KICKER IS THAT THEY ARE NOT CONCERNED WITH THIS BECAUSE THE WARRANTY IS UP. I HAVE ONLY 7,000 MILES ON THE NEW ROTORS, BRAKE PADS AND BRAKE HOSES AND NOW THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. I PAY ENOUGH FOR THIS PIECE OF '!@#$%, AND EVERY THREE MONTHS I HAVE TO PUT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS INTO THE BRAKING SYSTEM. I HAVE NEVER BEEN THIS UNHAPPY WITH A VEHICLE, AND I HAVE OWNED MANY NEW VEHICLES. *NLM

THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN FRONTAL COLLISION, AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. *JB

THE BRAKE LINES THAT RUN BETWEEN THE MASTER CYLINDER AND PROPORTIONING VALVE ARE ROUTED PAST THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD HEAT SHIELD RETAINING CLAMP. THE RETAINING CLAMP HAS A BOLT THAT PROTRUDES UP AT ABOUT A 75 DEGREE ANGLE FROM HORIZONTAL. THE BRAKE LINES WERE ROUTED PAST THIS BOLT AND SO CLOSE THAT THEY WERE RUBBING UP AGAINST IT. OVER A PERIOD OF TIME(14,050 MILES) THIS CONTACT CAUSED BRAKE FAILURE DUE TO A HOLE WORN IN THE BRAKE LINE TUBING FROM CONSTANT FRICTION. THERE HAS BEEN NO REPAIRS OR MODIFICATIONS OF FACTORY INSTALLED EQUIPMENT OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM OR ANY OTHER SYSTEM ON THIS VEHICLE. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NOT A ACCIDENT CAUSED BY THIS INCIDENT. I BELIEVE THIS COULD BE A POTENTIAL SAFETY RECALL ISSUE ON THIS VEHICLE. *JB

THE BRAKE PEDAL BROKE AND FELL ONTO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. *JB WHILE EXITING PARKING LOT, VEHICLE ACCELERATED TO 60 MPH HITTING AN OBJECT. DEALERSHIP REPURCHASED VEHICLE. *TT

2000 DODGE ENGINE FAILURE: AT 55,000 MILES MY 2000 DODGE INTREPID THREW A LOWER ROD AS I WAS EXITING THE EXPRESSWAY AFTER DRIVING APPROX 10-12 MILES. THE CAR IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE AND HAS AN OIL CHANGE EVEY 3,000 MILES. I HAD JUST HAD AN OIL CHANGE APPROX 1,000 MILES BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. I CALLED DAIMERCHRYSLER AND ASKED THEM IF THERE WAS ANYTHING THAT THEY COULD ASSIST WITH ETC? THEY ASKED IF THE DEALER HAD TORN DOWN THE ENGINE. I TOLD THEM THAT I HAD A PRIVATE DIAGNOSIS AND THE DEALER HAD A TECH LISTEN TO IT AND SAID THEY WERE SURE A ROD HAD GONE BAD. THEY SAAD TO HAVE THE DEALER TEAR IT DOWN ... THEY THEN TRIED TO BLAME ME FOR NOT GETTING THE OIL CHANGED ON A REGULAR BASIS. I AGAIN TOLD THEM THAT IT HAD BEEN CHANGED EVERY 3,000 MILES AND THAT I OWN TWO OTHER CARS (95 SILLOUTTTE & 97 CUTLASS) THAT HAVE 130,000+ MILES ON THEM. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND PAID THEM 250.00 FOR A TEARDOWN. THE DEALER (GENESEE VALLEY DODGE IN FLINT, MI) CALLED ME AND TERRY SCHEFKE (SERVICE MANAGER) CALLED TO SAY THAT IT HAD INDEED THROWN A ROD AND THAT I WOULD NEED A NEW SHORT BLOCK AT A COST OF $4.250.00. I AGAIN CONTACTED DODGE BY PHONE AND EMAIL. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS MY PROBLEM BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY (3/36). I ASKED THEM IF AN ENGINE FAILURE WAS NORMAL AT 55K? THE DEALER HAD HIS DISTRICT MANAGER LOOK AT THE CAR AND I WAS DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE OR COMPENSATION. I FEEL THAT THE ENGINE FAILURE WAS NOT AT ALL MY FAULT, I NEVER DID GET A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANY OTHER WARNING UNTI I

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE SHAKES. VEHICLE HAS BEEN ALIGNED SEVERAL TIMES BUT IT DOES NOT HOLD AN ALIGNMENT. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO DEALER ON APPROXIMATELY TWELVE TIMES, AND EACH TIME A DIFFERENT COMPONENT WQAS CHANGED, BUT PROBLEM RESURFACED. *NLM. *AK

THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED ON MY DASHBOARD. I HAVE A 2001 DODGE INTREPID. HAVE NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT OR NEEDED ANY OTHER MAJOR REPAIR. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND HE ADVISED THAT THE AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE WAS BROKEN WITH A REPAIR COST OF $288.00. THIS CONVENIENTLY FOR DODGE IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. IM LOOKING FOR FURTHER EVIDENCE THAT A RECALL IS NEEDED FOR THIS AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE.

POWER STEERING PUMP WAS LEAKING VERY BADLY. WE TOOK IT TO THE BYERS CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AT 390 EAST BROAD STREET, (614) 228-5111 WE COULD SEE THAT A BOLT/NUT HAD RUBBED A HOLE THROUGH THE POWER STEERING LINE. THE DEALER MECHANIC TOLD US AFTER CHECKING IT THAT WE MUST HAVE RUN OVER SOMETHING BECAUSE THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE LINE AND PROCEEDED TO LET US KNOW THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART IS ON BACK-ORDER FOR UP TO 6 MONTHS. THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED OBVIOUSLY BY LOOKING AT THE PART FROM THE NUT/BOLT RUBBING AGAINST THE LINE. THE DEALER DID NOT OFFER TO PATCH IT UP OR ANY ASSISTANCE. WHEN CALLING AROUND TO SEVERAL OTHER DODGE DEALERS, I INFORMED THAT THIS PARTICULAR PART HAS BEEN RENAMED AND NUMBERED DUE TO A PROBLEM IN PREVIOUS MODELS AND IS ON BACKORDER NATIONWIDE BUT IT WAS NEVER RECALLED. THE NEW PART NUMBER IS 05101846AA. WE NOW HAVE A LEAKING POWER STEERING PUMP AND NO ANSWERS OR ASSISTANCE FROM THE DEALERSHIP. WE HAVE A WARRANTY BUT IT SUPPOSEDLY IT IS NOT COVERED. WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY AND ALL ASSISTANCE YOU CAN PROVIDE. THANK YOU. **DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT OVER TO ARTEMIS**767681

THE FAILURE SEEMS TO BE MULTI PART. ON A LONG TRIP THE POWER STEERING SEEMED SLUGGISH (SOME PART OF THE POWER ASSIST WEAKENED). THE WHEEL ALSO WAS GRINDING TERRIBLY WHEN WE TURNED. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER THEY REPLACED THE BELT. BEFORE I LEFT THE LOT THESTEERING STILL SEEMED HEAVY, AND THE WHEEL THEN MADE A HARD THUMP WHEN TURNED SIDE TO SIDE. I AM STILL GOING THROUGH THE REPAIRS, AND I ESTIMATED THE COST, BUT I HAVE ALREADY PAID $111 FOR A BELT WHICH DIDN'T FIX ALL THE PROBLEM, THEREFOR I GUESSED $300.
