1994 Dodge Intrepid Engine cooling Problems

“Bought car in 2001, with 69,000 miles. 2 days after purchase, gauges stopped working, car ran fine, no noise, etc. Intermittent problem. Dealer could not duplicate. Happened while driving past dealer, stopped and they checked for codes, none found. Happened again, dealer had code for airbag module this time, replaced part. Problem is still intermittent. 2003, driving at 75 MPH on highway, car stalled, no restart. Towed to dealer, they replaced timing belt and water pump. Also had brake rotors and pads replaced at 72,000. They were done at 55,000 also. Replaced tie rod ends 2004 at 97,000. …”

“I was in parking garage at jfk airport. When I started car and put it into gear, the car shot forward and crashed into concrete barrier and pillar. The airbags never deployed and the braking did not slow it down. The car was totalled and the travelers insurance has offered $2275 less the $500 deductible.”

“I bought this car thinking that the Dodge Intrepid was a great car and we have not had nothing but a nightmare with this car. I can not believe that a new car could have that many problems. We have a Dodge truck that has over 200 thousand miles and never had this trouble. I have only once received a recall notice and I got that one after I called chrsler about it. No safety defect listed in the summary.”

Over the past 3 months I have been told it was the fuel pump, starter, a sensor, some sort of tube, catalytic converter and all sorts of things,which of course did not solve my problem. I have invested over $1,000 to try and repair the problem. …”

“While my husband was driving down a local street at approx. 25 MPH, the car started making a funny sound all of a sudden then the car shut off. We later had the car towed to the dealership in our neighborhood who informed us that the engine was ruined without even looking at the car. We asked the dealership how this could've happened when we had scheduled oil changes with them on time. The car was there with them less than 30 dyas prior to the engine blow-out. …”
