Severely corroded brake lines, lines blew. Near miss accident. This is a common complaint across mfrs. Had the same incident 1 month ago on 1997 gm product. Well maintained cars with severely corroded fuel and brake lines. I bet it can be traced to a cheap supplier that supplied the big 3 for a period of years. No corrosion resistance on the steel. Can't blame this on ne winter salt. My oem 1964 looks better than my late model vehicles. *Tr

Driving 30 mph at approximately 6:30 pm and the car just died in rush hour traffic had to push to a side street and it would not restart, after researching I have found this is common to this model and so far have found no solutions but it is very dangerous as you loose your power steering and brakes this issue needs to be addressed by dodge as other reports have been reported on the freeway at higher speeds. The reports I have read thus far have found no fix for this problem and is very expensive to find as you just guess at which part to change or where to look, we need help. *Tr

1999 Dodge intrepid cooling system and engine trouble

While driving on an interstate highway, a large amount of smoke was observed in the rear view mirror. After finding a safe place to quickly pull over, it was found that the right rear strut had failed completely and was resting on a brand new tire. The tire was smoking and destroyed. It had only millimeters of tread left before the strut would have punctured and exploded the tire. Later at a garage, the strut was shown to have broken completely. Although I survived this near disastrous incident, it could have easily been much worse for me and other interstate users nearby. *Tr

The dodge intrepid 2.7 Motor is a bad motor, I have already had it rebuilt one time and now it appears that I am going to have to have it done again. Everyone I have spoken to about this car tells me the motors are bad. I feel that this needs to be investigated. If I had know this I would not have bought this car. *Tr
