2001 Dodge Intrepid

A FEW DAYS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER. HE SAID IT WAS THE FUEL CAP MAKING THE ENGINE LIGHT COME ON, HE PUT A NEW ONE ON, AND SAID THAT SHOULD SOLVE IT. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON, AND A MONTH LATER, THE CAR WOULDN'T START. I HAD IT TOWED TO A SHOP, AND THEY SAID IT NEEDED A NEW FUEL PUMP. I CALLED THE DEALER, AND HE SAID IT WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO BECAUSE THE WARRANTY WAS ONLY FOR A MONTH. I JUST STARTED DRIVING IT AGAIN,THE CAR WOULD TAKE A MINUTE BEFORE IT PICKED UP SPEED, LIKE IT WAS STALLING. I DROVE IT UNTIL JUST RECENTLY IT JUST STOPPED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I HAD THE CAR TOWED AND IT WAS PUT ON A MACHINE AND THE TRANSMISSION IS OUT. I HAVE HAD THE CAR A YEAR. ONE DAY THE CAR WOULDN'T GO IN REVERSE, AND I CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, AND IT WAS FINE. THEN , IT DROVE FINE A COUPLE DAYS THEN COMPLETELY STOPPED. I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING YET BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY FOR ANOTHER TRANSMISSION OR CAR, AND NEED A CAR BECAUSE I HAVE A DAUGHTER WITH CEREBRAL PALSY, AND SHE HAS A LOT OF DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS OUT OF TOWN AND IN TOWN. SO IF I COULD GET SOME HELP I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT. *AK

WHILE DRIVING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED. DRIVER TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO DO SO. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

PURCHASED CAR IN 02 WITH 11000 MILES. MAINTAINED CAR WELL. AT 57000 MILES THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION BLEW. DEALER SAID THEIR WAS A BUILD UP OF SLUDGE. MY CAR WAS IN THE SHOP FOR 30 DAYS. 4 DAYS AFTER REPAIRED I RETURNED IT TO DEALER WITH COMPLAINT OF TRANSMISSION SLIPPING. THEY COULDN'T FEEL IT SLIPPING WHEN THEY DROVE IT. NOW TONIGHT, 3 WEEKS LATER, IT WAS TOWED BACK TO THE SHOP FOR TRANSMISSION FAILURE. *NM

20 01 DODGE INTREPID,43K. MI., PURCHASED IN 02, DRIVE 7000. MILES, YEAR MAINTAINED TO SPECKS. LAST OIL CHANGE SHOWED MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF SLUDGE BUILD-UP. TWO WEEKS LATER THE ENGINE BLEW. ACCORDING TO SERV. MGR. AT DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED IT, IT IS THE TIMING CHAIN GUIDES. I'M SURE HE'S FARMILIAR WITH THE NOISE BECAUSE CHRYSLER HAVE DENIED THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THE USE OF THIER 2.7 L ENGINED VEHICLES FOR A LONG, LONG TIME. IT IS A KNOWN CRONIC PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE, AND THEY KNOW IT, AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. AND, LIKE THOUSANDS OF OTHERS, WE HAVE TO CONTINUE TO PAY FOR THE DRIVEWAY ORNAMENT AS IT CAN ONLY SIT THERE. WE CERTAIMLY CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX IT, SO WE BORROWED MY MOTHER-IN LAWS CAR, WHICH GOT STOLEN FROM OUR DRIVEWAY A WEEK AFTER WE BORROWED IT. THIS PROBLEM MUST BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY BY THE PROPER AUTHORITIES AND THEY MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR ANY AND ALL REPAIRS NEEDED TO BE ABLE TO GET RID OF THE CAR.*AK
