My car stalls when stopped, taken to dealer twice for problem. They finalled replaced the fuel pump after charging me to have computer reprogrammed. Engine stil not ok, but not stalling. When accelerating engine seems to be slipping. The front passenger window was fixed about a month ago and is not working again. Car has been in 2 for new brakes, I have had the rotors replaced and also turned in the 2 years I have owned the car. Car shakes when stopping again, so rotors will need to be turned or replaced again. Why? by looking at this web site it seems everyone is having the same problems with the Intrepid. Lots of complaints. Why are there no recalls. We have to keep paying out of pocket for dealer defects. My dealer is 36 miles away. Not easy to get car repaired. That is why window not fixed yet. Help.

I am extremely frustrated and and disatisfied with my Dodge vehicle and the service I have been provided from hayward auto Chrysler-Plymouth-Jeep. Since purchasing the 1999 Dodge Intrepid ES from hayward auto with only 28,000 miles there has been nothing but problems. The vehicle lost 5+ quarts of oil in 2215 miles and the engine blew up shortly after puchasing. I had the oil and filter changed just 2 months prior w/reciept. I just bought the vehicle from the dealer in April 2001. Dealer almost did not replace engine trying to blame me for it's failure. I regularly maintain and inspect my vehicle. There is nothing I could have done to cause this failure and I feel insulted. The transmission began to fail and was overhauled, speed sensor and tourqe converter replaced due to failure. Component fell off of left lower suspension control arm, replaced. Speakers blown, replaced, rear power window fails, replaced. Once, dealer did not seal tranny correctly when brought in for tranny service several months ago and released vehicle with tranny pouring out fluid when I got home. Steering failed twice, steering behavior changed dramatically after each incident. When service advisor called me he told me tire pressure was out of whack. They adjusted the tire pressure the last time it was in! I overheard tech on phone yelling with bad attitude as if I have the problem further insulting me. I talked to the service manager/owner, tried to explain everything I have been through with this vehicle. Mr. Gregory martin didn't let me finish, told me I was lucky and that the engine was not supposed to be replaced, placed the blame on me. " well, you have a new engine?" I have been extremely patient with this car and these people. They should be apologizing to me and thanking me for my patients instead of treating me like I am retarded. I guess you have to buy a BMW to get a decent car and service. I am very dissapointed and let down with this vehicle and then additionally this service.

Several days after having the 3.2L engine replaced because it blew up due to unexplained oil dissappearance I experienced continued problems with the vehicle. My input and output speed sensor was replaced when my vehicle was in for engine replacement due to rough shifting and surging in low gears and intermittent transmission bump. Vehicle's transmission seemed to work somewhat smoother. Transmission kickdown issue worsened however. Vehicle would need to be driving at 30-35mph or slower for transmission to kick down hard for merging, passing or to enter the freeway or acceleration was poor. Transmission bump still sometimes occured. During acceleration across intersection vehicle began to violently surge back and fourth as vehicle was switching back and fourth between gears. This happened for several seconds, I was ready to kill the ignition but it stopped. I stepped down hard on the accelerator trying to investigate the problem and engine reved but vehicle acelerated very slowly indicating transmission slippage. The slippage only occured once shortly after and could not be duplicated. Dealer was able to duplicate or pull fault code. Dealer is going to perform major transmission overhaul/rebuild at only 33350 miles. Additional lossed time from work because of these continual problems.

Drove vehicle to closest dealership at time of engine noise. Vehicle was running when taken to dealership. Dealership looked at engine, said there was sludge in engine, said they could clean the sludge out of engine for $360 and that would probably solve noise problem in engine. Dealership supposedly cleaned sludge out of engine, engine then seized. Dealership asked for receipts of engine oil changes which were provided. Dealership supposedly cleaned out sludge from engine. Engine then seized upon being started. DaimlerChrysler refuses to fix engine.
