Intrepid SE V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 120,000 miles

Well I have had this problem for month. I will be driving down the road and the car
will jerk and then the rpms will shoot sky high like almost red line. I can stop cut the car off and then back on and the problem will fix itself until it happens again. No matter how
you drive it, the problem always happens. Now within a month of that happening the
car also started dying after coming to a stop every now and then and usually it rush hour traffic. It starts back up most of the time but every now and then you will have to sit
there looking like an idiot waiting for your car to decide ok now I want to start. It is been
to 4 different shops one of those being a dodge dealership and no one can tell me what
the problem is. They seem to think that I am making this up when I have had other people drive my car and have the same problem. Now a new problem the dash board
lights and the radio are starting to blink and cut in and out. So now I am wondering what it next????? This is my only means of transportation and I am a single mom so
getting a new car is not really an easy option and I can't keep relying on this pos car.

Intrepid SXT 3.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 75,000 miles

Around 75,000mi, the transmission started slipping and banging in and out of 2-3rd gear. Did a transmission service with a higher grade fluid--the best available but the problem persisted. Only solution was to have the transmission re-built. Cost an arm and a leg...disappointing because the car was kept up as best as possible. The car itself is great, but the Chrysler Corp was less than helpful. Who else loves paying $92.50/hour??

Intrepid SE V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 71,000 miles

We are asked to buy American. We do and we have problems. Dodge has a terrible transmission on the 2002 Intrepid SE and I have hearn complaint after complaint. I, like many other people, live on a shoestring and can not afford to fix my car. I lost my job a month ago and rely on this vehicle to get me around to find one and then to the job. No car, no job. No job, No Money. Kiss the house goodbye with no money to pay for it. I'll be on the streets.

Is there such a thing as financial aide for car repairs that seem to have a history and Dodge won't do anything about it because I am not the original owner and the car is 5 years old? People like me need help....

we have replaced the transmission hoses twice because they leak and the transmission seems to be shifting really hard sometimes.

I've had this car for a year. Shaking is really annoying. Took it to the dealer, they replaced half shaft, put brand new tires on it, still shakes, we paid to have the tires rotated and balanced 4 different times, new brakes, rotors. Still shakes, what could cause this? We've been told possibly in the transmission. Dealer can't feel shake(of course not). This car is under warranty but 2 different dealers can't seem to find the problem.

Transmission Issues Displayed At Just 2000 Miles!! Intermittent rough shifting, bump, stumble, hesitation. Dealership "Could Not Duplicate" This Problem. Transmission Was Slamming Into 3rd Gear At Times, Dealership Service Manager Said This Was Normal. My 15 year old car's Transmission (210,000 miles) shifts much better and performs smoother!
