My well maintained dodge intrepid has many failures starting with the cracking on the chasis and massive engine problems. *Tr

Hood support struts may slowly lose enough hydraulic pressure to prevent the hood from slamming down unexpectedly after the hood has been raised. This failure is consistent and my cause severe injury or death if anyone is working under the hood. I was fortunate enough to not be working on the engine when this event occurred. I have not replaced the struts, but will take the car to the dealer and inform them of this issue. *Tr

Automatic door locks on all doors except drivers door failed to operate. Each of the passenger doors failed at different times during a single month. Drivers door stopped working for a few days and began working again. Dealer stated each door has separate operating system that need replaced. *Tr

Repeated overheating problems resulted in replacing my radiator two times, thermostat three times and thermostat w/ breather housing two times. Cooling system includes external metal pipes which help circulate coolant to heater. The pipes are hidden from clear view and when mine sprung leaks due to their placement the leaks were diagnosed as being blown head/head gasket by three separate shops. Replacement of pipes solved overheating. Moisture gets trapped in and around the frame and subframe areas where the motor...

2003 Dodge intrepid interior door handle. Consumer feels that the door handle failure is a safety issue.*Nj the consumer stated the failure occurred at the attach point of the control rod and the hinge/lever for the door.*Jb

The paint on the body is good except for the hood. The paint is peeling badly. Nowhere else on the body is this happening. The color is forrest green ?? Please let know how I can get this hood repainted. *Tr

Had mild tapping sound from engine a few months ago, took vehicle to the mechanic and that is where I learned the reputation of the 2.7 Liter engine. He advised that we should look for another vehicle before we became the latest victim. Unfortunately, on the way home from work one afternoon the engine started developing an even more pronounced clattering, knock and vibration; as if it were about to tear itself apart. Pulled over to avoid subjecting engine to even more damage. Had to have it towed home. Will not spend another dollar on this vehicle until chrysler hands me a check from a lawsuit settlement. *Tr

There have been several problems with my 2000 intrepid 2.7L. I have had to replace all the door lock motors at different times, starting all the way back from 1/8/04 and the final one was just this month (february.) I was having an issue with the car stalling out while I was driving it. Some times it would start back up while it was still coasting, other times it would take a long time before it would start again, leaving me sitting on the side of the road. When hooked up to a diagnostic machine it would not show...

I have a 1999 dodge grand caravan. The left (drivers side) strut tower has rusted through. After searching on the internet I see that this is a common problem and a service bulliten was issued: http://img.Villagephotos.Com/p/2003-12/537508/caravanstruttowertsb.Jpg. It seems that there was a design problem as I don't have any rust any other place. Also it seems that this could be a dangerous situation. *Tr

Car is a well maintained (all recommended service done at dealership). Driver side door failed to open using the inside door handle. Had to roll down window and reach to the outside door handle in order to open door. Feels like handle is no longer engaging the door lock. Experienced initial panic when I thought I was trapped in the car. *Jb

2004 Dodge intrepid se passenger side of dashboard is cracking, approximately 10" long now. *Ak

After watching a segment on local news on the dashboard collapse on the dodge rams, I realized what has been the cause of what started as a hairline crack on dashboard. I purchased the 2004 dodge intrepid about 14 months ago in almost perfect condition. Months later I noticed a hairline crack, which I hadn't noticed when I purchased the vehicle. At first I thought maybe it was an oversight since the hairline was so small, as time went by I had seen the crack get longer and wider. Now, the crack was at a point where the dash board was starting to collapse. I have not seen any recalls on this make/ model/ year , yet there were various problems with other dodge dashboards. *Ak
