I have a 2004 dodge intrepid I think there should be a recall on the motors I have put more money in that card and I paid for it I thought it would be dependable it only has 60,000 miles on it and now at the time I have on that there's only 70,000 miles on it added to the 60 its been in the shop more than I have driven yet every time I turn around there was always a problem that crack my head but it never ran hot to give me any warning because the water pump leakage the motor has always had low oil pressure nobody...

As I was backing into a parallel parking space, I heard a loud pop from under the front of the car, just as I tapped the curb with my back tires at 2 mph. I went to pull forward to straighten the car and attempt the parking job again, when I realized that I could no longer turn the wheels. The steering wheel turned with ease in my hand, but the tires did not budge with the steering wheel. I had recently had the driver side tie rod and bushings replaced and had an alignment done about a month ago, now I have no...

The engine out of nowhere blew up, engine shut down and water and oil came out of the oil spout, also always having problems with the steering, having to constantly change the rubbers in the stabilizer bars, I'm complaining because the car is a lemon. *Tr

Tl* the contact owns a 1997 dodge intrepid. The contact reversed and drove over a two inch beam. As a result, the front passenger side control arm fractured. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic and the contact was told that the control arm would need to be replaced. The mechanic informed the contact of a recall associated with the failure under nhtsa campaign id number: 99v215000 (suspension: front: control arm: lower arm). The recall however, was only issued for the 2004 model dodge intrepid and not the 1997 model. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was unavailable. The failure and the current mileages were 190,000.

I bought this car used in june 2009. Less than a year later I began having problems. At first there was a loud knock on the right side under the hood, which ended up being the control arm- completely loose and almost disconnected. It hadn't been like that when I made this waste of a purchase. Over the last 20 months (12/2/2011), the problems have progressively gotten worse (and more expensive). The loud bang is back, adding to it a lack of full control of steering. I now have to replace the tie rod (entire system) and the rack and pinion. I understand why this car was discontinued, just not why there was no recall. *Tr

Tl* the contact owns a 1997 dodge intrepid. The contact noticed that the ball joints, tire rods, sway bar bushing and motor mounts wore prematurely and needed constant repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure however, did not offer any assistance since there were no recalls. The current mileage was 128,000 and the failure mileage was 98,000.

While backing out of a parking stall, front drivers side wheel lower control arm broke free from engine cradle resulting in total immobilization of vehicle. Upon inspection it was obvious that the mounting bracket which is welded to the engine cradle frame had rusted out causing failure. Similar failures on older models have had nhtsa recalls, see nhtsa campaign id # 99v215000, issued due to loss of power or control resulting in a potentially life threatening condition. It is understandable for wear parts such as...

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

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

Tl*the contact owns a 1997 dodge intrepid. While driving relatively low speeds including 10 mph, there was shaking sensation accompanied by difficulty steering. The dealers technician stated that the control arm would cost $1000.00 To be replaced. The vehicle has not been repaired. The failure mileage was 95,700 and the current mileage was 95,890.

Ongoing problems with---brakes---screeching sound when braking and grabbing/thumping sound ,a/c & vent musty odor, squeaking sound from rear struts. *Tr

Nothing led up to the failure, it happened while I was driving on the freeway. I noticed my car started swaying and "floating" I got off the freeway and looked under the left rear to see that the sway bar snapped at the joint, and the sway bar link had disconnected. The rubber bushing is still in the arm, but not the bolt. Can't find a new sway bar, but I have a repair kit for the link. This incident doesn't allow me to drive over 20 mph with wheel shaking. Cannot reverse as well. *Tr

It started out my steering would get really tight and you couldn't move it at all and it happens everyday now we took it to the dealership and they said it was the rack-n-pinion and so they fixed it and its still doing it. *Tr

1996 Dodge intrepid had to have alot of front end work done on tie rod ends and bushings worn out then while driving the car the brakes failed for no apparent reason and caused a accident whole front end totaled and the air bags did not deploy why is it that dodge auto air bags do not deploy. *Tr
