“I have a 1995 Dodge Intrepid. Until 4 months ago, it never had a problem, only did routine maintenance and that was constantly done. It has a new transmission and radiator (under extended warranty), and new starter, alternator, and battery. The fuel pump was replaced about 2-3 years ago. Four months ago, the car started to act up. First, I noticed a burnt oil or anti-freeze smell. I took it to my mechanic, who I have had for more than 15 years. He couldn't find any leaks or problems and reminded me that all the hoses and accessories were replace a year before. …”

Did one replacement before the tire fell off. The second replacement was done after the tire came off. The replacements did not remedy the problem. While driving it felt as though the wheels were falling off. When hitting a bump while driving there was a snapping noise from underneath the vehicle. Another concern was the electrical system. Only one headlight will work on bright and only one will work on dim. …”
NHTSA complaint #10140556, filed 2005-10, 85,000 miles“Electrical system problem wherein at startup vehicle either only clicks or starts with no gauges working for several minutes. When this occurs the vehicle will not accelerate to more than 30 MPH. Dealer states that starter needs replacement, but vehicle has been intermittent with this problem for longer than a starter on the brink would last. Apparent electrical problem that computer diagnostic does not confirm. Only code involves the at module not providing signal. All such components are controlled by the PCM (power control module). Please investigate.”
