NHTSA complaint #10353903, filed 2010-09, 139,852 miles“We have a 2002 Dodge Intrepid, we have replaced 2 fuses for the A/C and now they said it is the fan. The A/C man told us there was a recall on the caravans and the stratus. I feel that the Intrepid should be added. This is the second vehicle we have had this problem with. We had a plymouth voyager and the same thing happened. I feel that you should check these vehicles concerning this.”
NHTSA complaint #10032801, filed 2003-08“I was driving with my daughter ( she was driving my car a 2002 Dodge Intrepid with 2.7 liter engine), and with no warning the thermostat began to rise. It was a certified used car and I did not have any problems with the car until this occurred. The car began to steam under the hood and cut off. My daughter steered the car over to the curb of a very narrow street hoping it would start. I called a nearby garage to take the car there if it started, after the engine cooled we crept the car to the garage. …”
NHTSA complaint #10174692, filed 2006-11“I own a 2002 Intrepid which has a very serious problem with the cruise control. If I set the cruise say at 65 miles per hour it will surge to 70 or more miles per hour before it slowly comes back to 65 miles per hour. I have complained about this to the dealer who eventually replaced the cruise with a new one. There is no difference with the new one. It still surges when it is set. The dealer said there is nothing more they can do. This is very dangerous because I almost hit the car in front of me when I engaged the cruise. I had this problem since I bought the car new.”
NHTSA complaint #10313279, filed 2010-02“There is a strange unknown beep sound that comes from the inside drivers side of vehicle. This is not the door a jar chime. I am not sure if it has to do with the cd player or stereo being on. Several passengers have noticed this intermittent beeping that seems to occur for no specific given reason or time. The beep is always the same volume, tone and sounds like some type of bmw or honda anti-theft device that beeps instead of chirping a siren or horn. This just occurs sometimes for no specific reason and I have not been able to invoke it. …”
