WE HAVE A 1999 DODGE INTREPID, FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS THE SAME MECHANICAL PROBLEMS OCCURRED. YOU WOULD FEEL AND HEAR A CLUNKING NOISE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR LOCKS IN LOW GEAR.

WE HAVE A 1999 DODGE INTREPID, FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS THE SAME MECHANICAL PROBLEMS OCCURRED. YOU WOULD FEEL AND HEAR A CLUNKING NOISE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR LOCKS IN LOW GEAR. WE HAD A 5 STAR DEALER SERVICE THE CAR 10 TIMES OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS. EACH TIME THEY THOUGHT THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM. NOW THEY TELL ME IT CAN'T BE FIXED. DAIMLER WOULD NOT GIVE US THE TIME OF DAY. THEY TELL US WE SHOULD GO TO A DIFFERENT DEALER. WE TOLD THEM WE WERE SICK OF GETTING THE RUN-AROUND, THE RESPONSE WAS: WE CAN'T FIX YOUR CAR OVER THE PHONE. IMAGINE GOING 55 MPH AND HAVING DOWN SHIFT INTO LOW GEAR. *JB

THIS IS REDICULOUS, AND CONSUMER FRAUD TO TAKE THE PUBLIC TWICE, FIRST WHEN THEY BUY THE DODGE 2.7L ENGINE , AND THE SECOND TIME WHEN THEY REAM THEM FOR THE REPLACEMENT COST OF AN ORIGINAL FAULTY PRODUCT.

I HAVE A 1999 CHRYSLER INTERPID WITH 82,000 MILES. THE VEHICLES HAS MAINTAINED. THE TIMING BELT BROKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 70MPH. I HEARD A TERRIBLE NOISE AND IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY AND CALLED A TOWING COMPANY. THE ENGINE REPAIR SHOP REPAIRED THE TIMING BELT AND ALSO DID MAJOR CLEANING IN THE ENGINE BECAUSE OF AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF BLACK SLUDGE. INITIALLY ACCUSING ME OF NEVER CHANGING THE OIL. THE SHOP HAD THE CAR RUNNING AGAIN AND DID ONE LAST COLD START CHECKING FLUID LEVELS WHICH WERE FOUND TO BE NORMAL. MY CAR WAS THEN TAKEN ON A TEST DRIVE FIRST AT FREEWAY SPEEDS AND THEN THROUGH TOWN AND ON THE WAY BACK TO THE SHOP THE VEHICLE DIED. NO ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON PRIOR TO THE ENGINE DYING. THE CAR WAS TOWED BACK TO THE SHOP AND THE ENGINE WAS FOUND TO BE SEIZED. I RECIEVED AN ESTIMATE FROM THEM AT ABOUT $7,000. I WANTED A 2ND OPINION SO I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A DODGE/CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE ENGINE AS BEING SEIZED AND I RECIEVED AN ESTIMATE OF $7,700. I CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION AND WAS IMMEDIATELY TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO HELP ME AND THAT THEY HOPED THAT I WOULD GIVE THEM ANOTHER CHANCE IN THE FUTURE TO RESTORE FAITH IN THEIR PRODUCT. IN RESEARCHING FOR A REBUILT ENGINE WE WERE TOLD BY ENGINE SUPPLY COMPANIES THAT THIS PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON IN THIS CAR AND THAT IT WAS NOT RECOMMENED TO PUT A REBUILT ENGINE IN THE CAR BECAUSE OF THE SLUDGE BUILDUP. TWO DIFFERENT PLACES HAVE TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM USING PENNZOIL AND TOLD ME NEVER TO USE IT AGAIN.

THE STEERING WHEEL HAD EXCESSIVE PLAY IN IT, AND SEVERAL TIMES WOULD NOT GO IN THE DIRECTION IN WHICH I WAS TURNING.THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD HAVE DONE TO CAUSE THIS, OR TO PREVENT IT. HE HAS REPACED RACKS AT 80,000 TO 100,000 MILES, BUT NEVER AS LOW AS 27,000 MILES. HE SAID THE INTERNAL GEARS WERE ALL WORN OUT. I WAS CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND ANY PASSENGERS IN A CAR THAT LOSES IT' STEERING. CHRYSLER DID WANT TO ASSIST IN ANY WAY. THEY SAID THE WARRANTY WAS UP.THEY ONLY REGRETED I HAD A PROBLEM .I CANNOT BELIEVE THE LACK OF CONCERN FOR SUCH A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT IS BEYOND ANY TYPE OF NORMAL MAINTAINENCE CONTROL. THIS GIVES ME GREAT CONCERN WHEN CONSIDERING ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT. IT COST OVER $1300.00 TO REPAIR.
