The contact...

Air bag light came on , then no cruise control, no horn, air bag light stays on. Was told that there might be a recall on this particular vehicle. Called dealership in bloomington, in. And was told that they didn't know and that they don't handle recalls. *Tr

I was driving at approximately 50mph and started slowing down to get on the freeway during rush hour. I had a hard time braking and notice the accelerator was stuck. The car was still accelerating even when I applied the brakes. I had to push as hard as I could on the brakes to get the vehicle to slow down. This incident went on for at least three miles until the accelerator popped back to it's original setting. The same thing has happened in three separate incidents since. *Tr

We bought this car as the third owner the air bag light was on the cruise control didn't work and the horn wouldn't sound.After searching the internet,and finding out that they had many many of the internal pasts changed and the multitudes of people reimbursed, we took our car to the dealer and told because we were the third owner,and that the mileage was high,they would not accept responsibility. The car was never been in a accident,nor has it been abused. I think that because my horn can't work it may be a...

My vehicle started having problems in september of 09, it was stalling on highways. I would lose power out of nowhere. It also would randomly accelerate forward, for lack of a better word the car would just buck back and forth. I received a recall notice (j18) that word for word explained what was going on. Took it to be fixed, problem still persisted. I then brought it to my personal mechanic, they informed me that the recall did not remedy the problem which is the cam shaft position sensor. One year later and I...

Car sticks in 2nd gear during driving and frequently stops moving, going into limp mode. While driving the car will not accelerate and the rpm will go from 2 to 4. When decelerating and breaking, it will act erratic often as if it was placed in neutral and jerk. While in a parking lot surrounded by pedestrians the did the same and did not stop as it should have. This problem is unpredictable and can lead to accidents as it may occur at any time (on the freeway and hillsides). Dealerships will tell people the...

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

Tl*the contact owns a 2002 dodge intrepid. The contact stated the when starting the vehicle, the steering wheel began vibrating excessively; however, the vehicle did not move when the accelerator pedal was engaged. After a while, the vehicle began accelerating at a rapid speed which caused the driver to lose control. Three mechanics were unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer has not been notified and is aware that they contact is unable to pay the repair cost. The vin was unavailable. The failure mileage was 77,000.

In normal driving conditions both the window regulator and the cable for the cruise control failed causing the glass to enter the window frame and the car to lose speed. I had the window repaired only to have it fail again and have not yet repaired the cruise control for fear of another failure.

A friend was getting on to the highway when the accelerator stuck and reved the engine all the way. We had just put a new motor in the vehicle so he shut the car off to preserve the motor and lost most of the steering. He hit a wood sign post and coasted down the hill to a gas station. The insurance co. Totaled the car with me still owing $2,000.00 On the car and $2,000.00 On the motor. The insurance co. Only gave us $2,800.00 For the car so we still owe money for a vehicle that had a defect. *Jb

Dt*: the contact stated when the vehicle was started; the engine was chugging and would not accelerate properly while traveling 30 mph. The vehicle was taken to the nearest repair shop. After six weeks, diagnostics and physical inspection showed a valve part may have fallen into the motor causing damage and there was a severe sludge problem requiring the engine to be replaced. The service dealer bought the vehicle from the contact. The manufacturer was not alerted.

Dt*: the contact stated the vehicle accelerated on its own to a higher speed, causing the vehicle to lose control. The contact was unsure of the speeds before and after acceleration, but this caused the engine and transmission to die. The contact was able to prevent the vehicle from being involved in an accident. The service dealer determined the vehicle needed a new engine and transmission and were unaware of what could have caused this.

Vehicle speed control after turning a corner and beginning to accelerate, vehicle's throttle stuck. Throttle needed to be manually reset. No apparent damage to cable; reason why unknown. *Nm
