| 2000 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | 2.7 CHRYSLER MOTOR. THE TIMING GEARS AND BELT WERE REPLACED BY MARKETPLACE CHRYSLER SUZUKI INC AROUND 65000. THEN THE MOTOR DEVELOPS A LOWER KNOCK. THE SAME DEALERSHIP THEN SAYS CHRYSLER MADE A BAD MOTOR AND IT WILL COST $3200 FOR A NEW MOTOR. WILL CHRYSLER OWN UP FOR THEIR FAILURE ? AND PUT A NEW MOTOR IN MY CAR FREE OF CHARGE. *JB |
| 1994 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS | BOTH CONNECTING BOLTS THAT CONNECTS THE INNER TIE RODS TO THE STEERING GEAR BROKE AS I WAS TURNING IN A DRIVEWAY. I HAD JUST DROVE 50 MILES ON INTERSTATE 85 FROM SMITHS, AL TO TUSKEEGGEE AL. WHEN I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION AS I TURNED FROM THE ASHFAULT HIGHWAY ON TO THE CONCRETE DRIVE WAY I HEARD A THUMP! THAT WAS WHEN THE BOLTS SHEARED INTO. MY ESTIMATE SPEED WAS AROUND 2 M.P.H. ALSO THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE INTREPID ARE TOO DIM FOR NIGHT DRIVING. THE PARKLIGHTS LENS STAY CLEAR WHILE THE HEADLIGHT LENS COLLECTS MOISTURE DUST AND DIRT AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME THE LENS START TO TURN BROWN WHICH INPAIRS THE ABILITY TO SEE WELL ENOUGH FOR NIGHT DRIVING |
