I was involved in an automobile accident while driving a 1993 dodge intrepid.several vehicles ahead of me stopped quickly and i was unable to come to a complete stop before hitting the vehicle in front of me, a small ford pickup truck.i estimate i was going about 15 to 20 m.p.h.

I am the original owner of a 1993 dodge intrepid (3.3 engine) which has experienced unpredictable engine shut off while driving at any speed. The instrument panel flickers and then the engine shuts off, making steering very difficult and endangering the occupants because the motorists around me get no warning of the sudden slow down.
My car has had numerous recalls and i bought itused a few months ago my car is a 1993 dodge intrepid what can i do about this?car will run for 20 minutes or until shut off and then die for 20 minutes to 10 hours, no warning lights come on diagnostics say car is fine even when it will not start. I was made aware of the recalls today as i sought to find answers to the problem i have spent more than 500 dollars to fix only to begin again with no solution, do i have any recourse against dodge?please let me know what i should do i can't afford to buy another car,i saved for months to buy this car only to be in worse shape than before.
Vehicle intermittently experiences stalling/sudden acceleration.*aw
First failure, around october 1997, was leak in fuel supply rail on starboard side of engine. This leak covers the two items from your list, as you have no specific item for fuel rail. Leak is worst in cold weather, hardly leaks at all in warm weather or after engine reaches operating temp. Have contacted two dodge dealers; they say that they are aware of a number of similar failures, but manufacturer does not underwrite repair. Manuals do not list fuel rails as a service item and there is no protocol for replacement of the seals, therefore, we feel that the faulty seals are a manufacturing defect. (?)failure number two, the battery cable positive simply rotted out at the termianal end and lost continuity. Manufacturer should have used an insulation the would survive better and longer in the engine room environment.obviously, the conbination of a leaky fuel rail and a defective battery cable is not a happy one. Thanks for listening.

I have a 1993 dodge intrepid 3.3l v6. The engine will stop running at any speed usually after a brief warm up. Some times the engine will stop only for a moment (less than 1 second)then come right back on. When it quits for more than a second, the ignition switch must be turned off then the car can be restarted. This has happened probably more than 100 times over the last 4 years. I have taken the auto to a dealer and independent repair shop, spent several hundred dollars and have yet to been able to identify the problem. Its very unsettling to be travelling at 65 mph and the engine stops!
Computer failed.
Vehicle was in park outside of a store, and the vehicle went in reverse about a 100 yards,and hitting a curb and a guard rail before vehicle came to a stop.also,can pull the key out of the igniton from park/drive and reverse.
While driving vehicle will stall without a prior warning like the key was turned off. Dealer could not find out what could be causing this problem.

The mileage is a guess, it was 65 or 68000 when i bought it.the steering column shakes in my hand when car moves 10 mph or more, doesnt seem to affect turning but does make it difficult to hold steady & feels dangerous; about 2-3 months after purchase, all interior lights, cruise,tbl indicators wont go off unless disconnt batt. Had to remove bulbs to get emer indicators to wk; hdlights vry dim & wipers malfunction when rain is heavy on hdlites; also can see drops of fuel on top of engine while running but no fires so far.can i get them to fix or am i out of all the money or should i get rid of car because tbls may return. Now they are constant everyday all the time
Dealer diagnostic showed faulty circuit board cluster.problem as follows:causing cruise control light to turn on at speeds ranging from 10 - 55 plus miles per hour without driver engaging cruise control.i feel that this is a possible safety hazard, this control engaging itself at speeds under 35 miles per hour.secondary problem:vehicle has begun to stall in traffic.the latest was on 5/11/02 - speed of vehicle 35 miles per hour - vehicle quit and was forced to pull over to side of road to get out of traffic and re-start vehicle.please note that this vehicle had major tune-up done less than 6 months ago.have also replaced starter in dec. 2001, fuel pressure regulator last month.please respond at your earliest convenience.keith w. Adam5/11/02.
While the consumer was checking the oil he accidentally stuck the dip stick not in the tube but along side where there is a gap opening and contacted an electrical line which caused a spark, this maybe a design problem which could have resulted in fire.*mjs

We also experienced a transmission failure which was rebuilt at 80,000 miles in 09/15/1995, the paint is peeling, the black window panels are pealing and when the fan is started a knocking sound comes from the right front blower.

At this point, the car is at the dearler with the head gasket problem (after paying $118 when it first overheated the day after picking the car up from overheating when the dealer said that a thermostat was the problem). Do we have any recourse?

Fuel rail o-rings failed prior to recall notice causing gasoline fumes.
Fuel rail failed causing gas to leak from line.
The quick connect/disconnect that connects the fuel lines to the fuel rail is not holding and is allowing raw gas to leak into the engine compartment, gas fumes can be smelled inside the car, dealer says the only fix is to replace fuel line between fuel filter and fuel rail, i susspect that the quick connect idea is not a good choice for fuel system components since the connector is plastic and gasoline would tend to deteriorate the plastic over time and replacing these fuel lines is a costly $$$ proposition, i will replace the faulty fuel line sections with standard high pressure neoprene/rubber fuel line which should work quite well.
The consumer received a recall for a fuel leakage problem.the consumer had not been experiencing problemsuntil it was fixed under recall.the manufacturer has yet to be contacted.recall number 98v184000.the fuel line came off while driving and the vehicle brokeyh

Transmission failed.
Transmission downshifted into 2nd gear, causing engine to overheat.
When backing the vehicle out of a parking stall, a loud clunk was heard ... And then a loud "rotary clunking" noise.the vehicle would no longer move ... And the "rotary clunking noise" could be heard in all forward and reverse gears (i.e., all gears except park & neutral).the vehicle was towed to an aamco shop.the tow truck driver noticed that the passenger-side front suspension was "torn from the frame" ... And i noted that the passenger-side front wheel/tire was no longer centered in the wheel well (moved substantially forward).aamco determined that due to the suspension bracket failure, the axle had broke (at the u-joint) and was allowed to spin freely ... Hence the loud "rotary clunking" noise.aamco replaced both axles.the vehicle was then towed to autowest dodge (43155 auto mall circle; fremont, ca; 94538; 510 252-5000) to replace the engine cradle sub-frame, bushings, etc. ... And re-attach the suspension components.this lower control arm bracket failure is suspiciously similar to nhtsa campaign id number 99v215000 ... But according to autowest dodge and daimlerchrysler (1-800-992-1997), my vehicle's vin is not included in this recall.is it possible for the nhtsa to investigate the failure of this component on my vehicle?perhaps the scope of the "99v215000 recall" should be expanded to include other lh body production runs.note that old axles were retained by aamco for core exchange ... And i have asked to retain possession of the failed engine cradle.i'm sure a qualified metallurgist would be able to determine the actual cause of the failure/fatigue (poor engineering, poor workmanship, poor weld penetration, etc.).fortunately, my vehicle's bracket failure occurred at a very low speed and no harm was done to the driver (my wife) or the passenger (my 15-month-old daughter).i'm only out the $2500.00 (approx.) repair bill ... I would hate to think what could have happened if the failure occurred at highway speed!.
Automatic transmission was reapired once and overhauled a second time while still under warranty. Transmission was shifting gears in an abrupt and hard manner. Transmission would also slip out of gear after coming to a stop and wind on acceleration prior to going into gear. Dealer found major problem with gaskets in transmission. Dealer stated gasket failure to be common problem requiring repair.
Ever since i first brought the car, when i stepped on the accelerator, the transmission made a whiny sound.during the years of 1993 and 1994, the vehicle was brought to the repair shops at either manassas dodge and later to jerry's dodge (located in springfield, va) all under the 12,000 mile warranty, regarding this noise from the transmission.both repair shops said there was no problem with the transmission or engine.just a few days ago the noise from the transmission changed.i noticed the change in the noise when i accelerate from zero miles per hour until the speed is set.with the change in the noise,i noticed a slight dip in the response time of the car when i step on the accelerator.
Transmission failure; also, replaced entire air conditioner and fuel system due to a fuel rail leak.
The transmission had a shudder between 35-45 mph and the transmission had to be rebuilt.upon further investigation, i found that this is a major problem for chrysler and dodge vehicles.also during this research i found that the air conditioner had many problems which i also had to replace.i ffel that since this has occurredso often that it definately is a design problem and chrysler should be fixing these problems.my charge came to $1700 and i feel that dodge should be picking up the bill.the air conditioner just plain stopped working.through my research, this is definately a frequent problem that they have not addressed.
