Car Stall problems of the 1998 Dodge Intrepid

I bought this car used with about 100,000 miles for $2,000. It's a beautiful car in and out for the price great condition! I've noticed that when I start if up to let if warm, it war extremely loud, but I didn't think it was a big deal since it's cold out and it needed to warm. Tonight I was driving on a busy highway when I stopped at a red light and when it went silent, and stalled in the middle of a !@#$% highway at a red light too. No lights came on to indicate a problem. I finally got it started after a few minutes of harassing drivers and got it to a parking lot when it stalled again right when I pulled in. Started it again and parked it. Checked the oil and it was bone dry. I bought and put plenty of oil in it let it run drove a little and it worked great. Drove home when it happened again. Its now sitting in town until I have it towed tomorrow. Nice car inside and out!!!! dangerously shotty american motor.

: the contact stated while driving 50 mph under normal road conditions, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who determined a new motor was needed.

The contact owns a 1998 Dodge Intrepid. On August 19, 2005 while driving at 55 mph and at a steady speed the vehicle stalled, and the contact's son lost control of the vehicle. He pulled off to the side of the road and contacted a towing service. The vehicle was taken to repair shop, and they told the contact that it was a bad engine. They have seen a lot of these problems with similar vehicles where the engine had sludge. The vehicle has not been corrected because the cost of repair was too expensive.

In June of 2004, my 1998 Dodge Intrepid stalled during normal highway driving during mid afternoon driving. Luckly, we were able to safely steer the car onto a offramp. If this happened during rush hour, there was a good 99% chance that my children would have lost a parent that day! after towing the car into a repair shop, we later found out that we needed a new engine (oil sludge problem, $5000)! during research on the internet and NHTSA, I found out this is a very common problem with Intrepids. I hope sometime in the future, Dodge will own up to this mistake.

While driving at an undetermined speed oil light appeared on the dashboard. Consumer drove the vehicle to the dealership, and vehicle stalled while entering the dealership parking lot. Dealer was unable to resolve the problem.

While backing out of a driveway vehicle stalled. After numerous attempts vehicle restarted. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.

While driving 35 mph vehicle stalled. Vehicle was towed to an independent shop, and technician indicated that engine needed to be replaced.

Engine on a 1998 Dodge Intrepid with only 64,000 miles on it requires a new one. The piston and valves are shot. The required oil and filter changes were performed timely. I cannot fix this by myself. The cost is 7,000. 00. I have to drive it like it is and this is a potential danger because if the oil isn't kept at proper levels it could freeze and stall while driving. There is no incident yet but can be if let the way it is. I have no other means of transportation and can't afford to repair the whole bill. Chrysler is not helping or showing any responsibility. I think it should be recalled and grounds for class action.

The oil light illuminated on the dashboard and the vehicle stalled, the dealer informed consumer the engine needed to be replaced.

While driving throttle stuck, driver lost control of vehicle, and hit two other vehicles before stalling out. Please provide further information.

Motor idles poorly and stalls continuously.
