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.

Bought 3 years ago used, it had emissions issues with the original engine. At about 74,000 miles the engine block cracked. Engine design does not allow for it to cool itself properly while running and results in the oil burning within before the engine can circulate it which finally results in the "sludge" that so many owners have a problem with and only perseverant the high heat issue as less oil is circulated to cool the engine. My engine's block cracked providing evidence of the engine getting too hot with no gauge warning of overheating because it is "overheating" within the system before it gets to the sensor etc, therefore it is not a poor maintenance issue but poor design and manufacturing. With a "rebuilt" engine it shakes, hesitates and emits smoke with clean oil and filter and no evidence of sludge within!! now at under 96000 original miles and 22000 rebuilt engine the A/C coil has busted under the high pressure caused by the high engine temperature. The A/C pressure varies with engine pressure which varies with engine heat (still no overheating warning on the gauges). It is only addressed now that it is summer and too hot to drive without A/C. unfortunately because of the design it will cost around $850 to replace a $80-120 part because the entire dash/firewall must come out along with many other components to get to it (and then those reinstalled afterward). The battery was sucked of power around this time and the motors controlling the windows & mirrors have broken. The keyless entry system has gone as well.

I own a 1999 Dodge Intrepid and need two windows fixed regulators in the door. The garage I brought my car to said he has replaced a lot of these regulators in the 1999 Dodge Intrepid. I feel that if it needs to be fixed for inspection then there must be some safety reason. Every time I am on the turnpike I have to open my door to hand out the money. I feel that there should be a recall on this problem.

I bought a 99 Dodge Intrepid from freedom Ford in centre, Alabama for a little over $14,000 about a year and a half ago. I went back last summer to trade in and was told that it was not even black booked for half that. Since then I have had to replace the cooling system (the entire system), all the fuses, the sensory module, the tie rods are shot and now the motor has locked up. Several mechanics have looked for a motor and found that the motor for this particular year of Intrepid runs $1,500 to $2000 more than all other motors, even the 2001 and newer models run $1000 to $1200 at the most. Their rejection to help me is due to the fact that the 99 model was an experimental motor and very few were made. I teach school and have found a co-worker whose sister has experienced the same problems. Her husband contacted Chrysler and after arguing with them, they paid for half of his motor, which knocked his total expense within the normally motor replacement cost. I was given a flat no from Chrysler and was told that they only honor this for original car owners with less than 100,000 miles and have an active warranty. Well my friend was a second car owner with more than 110,000 miles, no warranty, and is will to provide the information necessary to prove that he was in my same situation and received assistance in paying for his motor. I also have mechanics who will provide statements that after searching the auctions and hotlines for a motor they found more Intrepids on the line with bad motors than any other car, some having as little as 60 and 65 thousand miles. I also have auto parts store owners who suggest that I call Chrysler to have them help with the expenses due to the fact that they have helped others. I just get the run around from Chrysler with no concern of me having to make a $386 car payment to Ford for a piece of junk sitting in my yard, and continue pay $107 a month insurance that has to continued due to state laws.

My husband john and I purchased a 1999 Dodge Intrepid from easy rider auto sales 3980 pine grove ave. Fort gratiot, mi 48059 on April 11, 2003. The mileage on the title at time of sale was 86,554, current mileage is 88,290. I drove the car for a total of 1,736 miles. We also bought the extended warranty policy from the dealer for the car. Guardian warranty company (nadn)1-800-482-7357.ext. 111. We had the car for a total of 25 days when the transmission went out. We took it to who easy rider auto sales said are a good company to do business with...lee's auto & truck repair 810-984-8947. After having the car back for a total of 8 days, I was backing out of my driveway and felt an sudden surge of power, the RPM reading was at 4,000. I was backing out slowly. I then braked and put it into park, watched the RPM gauge and seen it go over 5,000 RPM's in park at an idle. My husband contacted his friend who owns a repair shop and accepts this extended warranty we purchased. B & D auto and truck service in memphis, mi 810-367-8881. They currently have the car. The engine is totaled. B and D called the Chrysler company, who told them to replace the motor because of the damages and they are aware that the 2.7, V-6 engine is trouble. B and D called the nadn company and told them about the engine. I was told that nadn doesn"T like to pay it"S claims. B and D always has to arburtrate over the money for the bill. B and D said to replace this engine would cost $8,600 plus tax. When we bought the extended warranty, we paid for it in full, we didn't argue about it. It is still covered! before we bought the car, lee's auto did an oil change on it. There is a sticker in the windshield that states to have it changed again at 3 months or 3,000 miles. I drove it for 1,736 miles and had it for less than 3 months. Other problems include excessive rpms in idle, the power window in the back passenger side doesn't work, the trip meter doesn't work.

My wife bought a 99 Intrepid with 3.2L engine brand new. The car currently has 79K miles, but we have replaced the window motor (all under warranty) by the dealer 6 times (sometimes twice in the same windows). We have also been experiencing issues with the transmission such as rough changing of gears. We replaced the speed sensor once, and now the transmission is stuck in 2nd gear. We were told by the dealer the transmission will need an overhaul at $2,300.

The power windows will come down or up. Mechanic states this could be due to a rubber seal being bad.

3 of 4 power window units have failed making the windows inoperable. Front passenger window motor and regulator were replaced under warranty. At this time the driver and rear passenger windows are inoperative. The vehicle currently has 43.3K miles. Besides being inconvenient, not being able to open a window could pose a safety issue in an emergency.
