1993 Dodge Intrepid Brakes Problems

“I purchased a 1993 Dodge Intrepid from a used car lot. 2 days later the car started smoking when going down a hill. Then the brake lights began to stick I have to pull up on the pedal to get them to go off and the steering wheel pops when going around a curve. Now the car sits at a repair shop needing a transmission because the drive and reverse gears failed leaving me with a bill of 800-2000 to repair it. I believe if the manufacturers would've done their job right in the beginning alot more people would be proud to own a Dodge!”

The dealer said that the spring in the braking lights was the problem. When the consumer took the vehicle to a mechanic, the mechanic told her that the problem was in the ABS pump. The consumer has not been notified about the situation.”

“Consumer went through 4 sets of front brake pads and rotors from 40,000 to 72,000 miles. Consumer felt there was a manufacturer's defect on the rear calipers and rotors which caused front rotors and calipers to age prematually and crack.”
