Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Rack and pinion issues. Issues with front wheels and steering. I've had it fixed three times, very expensive. I was pulling out of a parking space, when the steer stopped controlling the wheels. I'm grateful I wasn't on the free way.”
NHTSA complaint #10905974, filed 2016-09, 175,000 miles“Factory struts(suspension) are inadequate to support the weight of the vehicle. My strut mount/plate &bolts broke at 55 mile per hour & the strut went through the strut housing/plate. The steering/suspension system is completely affected when the struts begin to fail on all vehicles. When struts fail springs also fail causing even more stress on the other steering/suspension parts(all bushings, tie rods. Control arms, ball joints, cv joints, transaxle, sway bar. …”
NHTSA complaint #10246723, filed 2008-10, 150,000 miles“3 months ago it needed both inner and outer tie rod ends replaced. Today we went around a corner and the rack and pinion failed. No steering and almost hit a parked car. Vechile towed to repair shop and I am waiting to get a estimate. Front end problems and steering problems since we bought it. Transmission is starting to go and we have had the air conditioner worked on 3 years in a row. We are going to trade it in asap.”
NHTSA complaint #736290, filed 2000-11“I think that is enough to tell you this model has defects too many to mention. I think Dodge should allow some sort of renumeration on repairs or a nice reasonable discount on future purchases since this is my second Dodge.”
NHTSA complaint #711711, filed 1999-09“Since purchase in 2000, front suspension problems, dealer only offered boot, not replacement of whole axle. Mechanic said boot would not fix problem. Air conditioner went out in 2001, while traveling, cost $500 to replace plus rental. Ignition switch was replaced in 2002, due to not operating properly. Could not remove key. Cost around $150 to repair. Now, there is a strong smell of gas in the car, while in use. Mpg seems to be lower than should be. This is my 3rd Intrepid and the only one I have had excessive problems with.”
