Eight problems related to gasoline engine have been reported for the 1996 Dodge Intrepid. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I have a 1996 model Dodge Intrepid. About a year and half ago, in one rainy morning I drove my car to work, just a few minutes driving on the road at approximately 50 mph, the engine quit working. . . I had the car towed to the garage and finally took it to the Chrysler dealership to get it checked, and was told I have a intake gasket problem, it cost me more than $300 to get it fixed. However, similar problem still comes and goes mysteriously after that. The most recent occurrence was about 2 month ago. I keep taking to the auto shop but no one can tell me what is wrong with the car. It is a 3. 5 engine and I am not the original owner, maybe the previous owner had the same problem.
No summary listed for above vehicle.
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.
All of the problems have been reported to the dealer, as well as the Chrysler corporation. The fuel line problem was corrected. The tie rods were corrected, but the problem recurred. The delearship claims they cannot reporduce the problem with the vehicle dying. Chrysler corporation would not offer asssistance with any of the problems. The dealership had the vehicle in for various problems 25 times in less than 3 years. I am unable to take the vehicle out of town at all, fof fear it is not safe to drive at highway speed.
