“Blown 98 Dodge Intrepid 2.7 liter . Done enough research and out a enough money to be pissed off. Don't expect me to be a future customer of mercedes, chrysler, or mitsubiti.”
NHTSA complaint #10090460, filed 2004-09, 71,000 miles“I am not very happy with these problems. Why do I have to keep my horns wrapped in plastic for a year. They say they are redesigning the horns but none have come out yet. When my warranty is out I will be out too. I am writing the manufactor. Today about this problem. It stinks!! Also I do not understand how my rotors could be warped. The pads are still in good shape. They only wanted to turn the rotors. I do not trust these guys. I am getting a second opinion wed. Oct. 27 about the rotors. I can see from your site that the drivers side window has given trouble to other owners. …”
NHTSA complaint #713714, filed 1999-10“Engine check light came on and the transmission would not shift out of first gear. The speedometer did not work either. The mechanic said the transmission needed to be replaced and also informed me that other Dodge intrepids had the same problem.”
NHTSA complaint #752833, filed 2001-10“There is a little shelf on the right side of instrument panel, and had a few coins on that shelf. While making a right turn, the coins fell behind the steering column and the airbag light came on, indicating a problem with the airbag system. An hour later, the airbag light came off.
