| 1999 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE | LIKE SOOOO MANY OTHERS MY DODGE INTREPID 2.7L ENGINE STARTING KNOCKING, THEN WHILE DRIVING TO WORK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD STOPPED! MY HUSBAND HAD TO PUSH THE VEHICLLE OFF THE ROAD BUT WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETELY GET IT OUT OF AN INTERSECTION ALONE! WE HAD IT TOWED TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY INFORMED US THAT WE NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. AFTER I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF US OUT THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM (SLUDGE BUILD UP IN THE ENGINE) THAT CASUES THE ENGINE TO BLOW WITH NO WARNING. NO ONLY A SAFTEY HAZARD BUT IT IS VERY COSLTY TO REPAIR.THE DEALERSHIP WANTS 6500 TO REPAIR IT AND THE CAR IS NOT EVEN WORTH THAT. SO WE ARE STILL PAYING ON A CAR THAT DOSEN'T RUN...BECAUSE THE ENGINE IS DEFECTIVE!*AK |
| 2000 | INTERIOR LIGHTING | INTERIOR ELECTRICAL LIGHT SYSTEM HAS FAILED COMPLETELY. THIS EFFECTED DOME LIGHT,/SUNROOF SWITCH/ VANITY MIRROR LIGHT, AND DASHBOARD. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES. HAVE BEEN TO DEALERSHIP EACH TIME, AND MECHANIC INDICATED THAT IT WAS ELECTRICAL MOBILE THAT WAS DEFECTIVE. WOULD HAVE IT REPLACED, BUT PROBLEM WOULD ALWAYS REAPPEAR.*AK |
