This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The vehicle was parked outside and driver was inside. Another individual informed the driver that vehicle crashed into the building. Driver took vehicle to the dealer, and mechanic determined that the shifter needed to be replaced.
The gear kicked out from neutral to drive on its own. Consumer took vehicle to dealer for repairs of transmission 2 months ago, but the problem recurred.
I had almost constant problems I.e. mechanical, equipment and fought a neverending battle with the dealership/warranty dept. And lost work/jobs ultimately leading to having no money to all my monthly bills or to get the car repaired, I had to voluntarily give up to reposession to the lender, and just recently over a year later I am recieving notices of traffic violations on this vehicle.caus. No safety defec tstated.
Rack & pinion: When steering wheel is turned back and forth a loud metallic noise is heard. Dealer says the whole rack and pinion must be replaced. Many tsbs on you site. Transmission (automatic) when it shifts gears there is a shutter. Again many tsbs on your site. I spoke to the reps at diamler, they will record my complait. Meanwhile dealer said approx. $4000 to repair all.
Contiued transmission problems, repairs made 2times, dealer doesn't know why it happens, engine RPM surges extremly high.average RPM at 60mph is 2000rpm, it is surging well over 3500rpm on a flat surface
Power steering has constant whine when turning or accelerating. Transmission shudders and skips when shifting during acceleration. Dealer states power steering pump and entire transmission must be replaced.
We bought this car as a program and it sure has been in the shop alot. I also heard from the area mechanics that they have replaced alot of the racks on the Dodge Intrepids and how come there is not a recall on this item.
