2002 Dodge IntrepidAcceleration & cruise controlEquipment & accessories

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. *Tr

For the past 3 or 4 years now I have been having engine related problems with my car. Recently things got worse. My heat will not work unless the car is moving, grayish spoke coming from the exhaust pipe and overheating. I went to a website that was talking about my type of car and the many engine troubles other people are having. The website claimed that I could receive help with getting my car fix due to the many defects with the engines of these cars. The website described everything my car is doing now. *Tr

First, the check engine light came on. I took it to the dealer where I got it from to find out that the egr valve needed to be changed, did this. Then I drove it for 1 week and the check engine light came on again, took it back to the dealer to find out that there is a problem with the crank shaft and that it will be very costly to have it repaired. All of this happened when I was driving it. The car began to shake and I got very scared. I only had the car for 3 months and in the 3 months all of these problems...

have erupted. I need some justice in getting these problems addressed so that the car can be fixed without cost to me when checking the internet and finding out that this is a major problem with these cars. It is something that dodge knows that these cars have those problems and they are not honoring helping the owners fix them. *Tr

Catastrophic engine failure occurring unexpectedly 1/07. Purchased a rebuilt engine. Six months later the car started to stop at any speed, while idling, and 50% of the time would not start at all. Had several dealers do diagnostics but could not pinpoint the problem as the car would run when taken to the shop. Was informed that it may be fuel sensor, fuel pump, or fried motherboard in the car's computer. Neither repair shops diagnostic equipment could pinpoint the problem. From 11/07-4/08 the car did not have...

2000 Chrysler intrepid with less than 70,000 miles used primarily by my wife for work. (85 Miles per day). Car started to knock. We brought it to the dealership for investigation and were told we had an engine failure. Dealership replaced small block with what I was told as being a new as an after market part. We started to have oil changes done at dealership only every 3,000 miles(although owners manual states 7,000 for our the type of driving. At less than 40,000 miles the engine started to knock again....

Dealership would not stand behind product or repair again. I brought it to a local repair shop that was recommended to me by a friend in the business. This repair shop has had some luck with repairing the problem. Unfortunately for me not this time. I have contacted chrysler several time with same results as mentioned, service not performed by dealership to bad, I was also told this by dale frank the service manager at the dealership. I have all my vehicles service at or before 3,000 miles. I fine it very absurd that the spark plug change is at 100,000 miles when this engine has no change of ever seeing that number of miles. *Tr
