Transmission Solenoid Problems of Dodge Intrepid

The contact owns a 2003 Dodge Intrepid. The contact was driving 50 mph when the transmission started to slip and the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that he was able to merge to the side of the road and restart the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic who diagnosed that the solenoid was defective. As a result, the transmission needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 70,000 and the current mileage was 88,604.

I purchased a used 2003 Intrepid police car with 81,000 miles on it. Ran and shifted fine until 3 months ago. While braking from about 45 at a light, the mil lamp came on and the car went into limp mode. We were able to reset it and get to the dealer who advised the transaxle valve body and solenoid pack needed replacement. After replacement, the car ran fine for 2 months. Now the same issue is occuring again. Again, the car went into limp mode while braking (a loud pop is heard each time it does this). The mil lamp comes on and the dtc codes are p0700, p01776, & p0841. From research on the internet, it seems that this problem happens rather frequently with this model Dodge, but there is no clear answer as to what the underlying issue is (sensor, computer, valve body, etc). Could this be reviewed for possible manufacturer defect?.

The solenoid for the overdrive failed.

My transmission began making my car drive erratic. As with other owners of this same vehicle, while driving normally it all of a sudden began jerking abruptly and then the check engine light came on. The car would no longer go above 50mph as the transmission could not shift into higher gears. If I was on the freeway this could have been very dangerous. I've had the transmission solenoid pack replaced, the speed sensor replaced previously, and now I'm being told it is the speed sensor again. This is probably the worst experience I have ever had with a newer vehicle and I will never buy another Chrysler product again.

Limp home mode, diagnosed as a bad transmission solenoid pac, replaced ($440), still had mil light and same "limp home mode" problem. Diagnosed by dealer ($90. 00), sain broken internal transmission hub, suggested I pay for factory rebuilt transmission ($2500) since rebuiling it would cost almost as much due to all the updates for the transmission (TSB's), transmission model 42le/a606.

I purchased a new 99 Dodge Intrepid in June 1999. Within 2 weeks of the purchase, the front passenger window motor burned out and it was replaced by the dealer. When I took the car home, I discovered the front passenger door would not open from the inside. I went back to the dealer, who said a rod was not reattached to the door when the window motor was replaced. They fixed it and the door worked fine. In April of 2000, the left rear window motor burned out and I went back to the dealer to have it replaced. In February of 2001, I went back to the dealer because the transmission would not shift into 2nd gear. I was told the solenoid pack burned out and needed to be replaced. Herb gordon was not very helpful, so I called Chrysler in michigan and told them the problem. The said to pay for the work and send them the original receipt and they would reimburse me for most of the work. I had the work done and sent the receipt. In July of 2001, the transmission had the same problem. Herb gordon said it was the speed sensor and since they would not do the work nor did they offer to cover any part of the work, I called Chrysler again. They said to have the work done and send the receipt for reimbursement. I did have the work done. Approximately December 2001, the right rear window stopped working and in January of 2002 the driver's window started to work intermittantly. Herb gordon said the rear motor burned out and the driver's motor was going to burn out, so I called Chrysler again. They again said since I was past the original warranty, they would not cover the work. After talking with them, they said they would cover all but $100, but not a rental car even though the work would take a few hours. I learned later the driver's door latch subassembly was going to burn out and I would not be able to use the remote to open the door, only the key. I will not buy another Chrysler product because of the problems I have had with the car, dealer and Chrysler.
