Four problems related to engine oil leaking have been reported for the 1999 Dodge Intrepid. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
My name is lysa jordan and I own a 1999 Dodge Intrepid. I am the second owner of the car purchased with 22,000 miles on it. I kept up with maintenance through the route 4 Chrysler/ Dodge dealer where I purchased the car (which has a pending class action lawsuit against them). The oil light began to blink so I had it diagnosed at a Dodge dealer near piscataway new jersey. I was told that the car was leaking oil in the engine. I advised them that I have specific parking spaces at home and work and never have I had any oil spots under the car. Three weeks ago, the car unexpectedly stopped running when I slowed down for a red light. When the light turned green, I started the car and proceeded to turn right and the car died as I was trying to turn. I had it towed to three different auto mechanics and all concluded that the car manufacturer should have issued a recall. The engine is no longer operable and the lowest quote I have found is $6000. 00. Can you please help me?.
I am in sales and drive extensively. Because of this I am very carefull to change my oil every 3000 miles. I currently have 91000 miles on my car, it is due for an oil change in roughly 700 miles. While driving I noticed a faint ticking sound and about two minutes later t got very loud. I pulled the car over and it shut off. The car did not overheat, the oil light never came on. I had a recomendation to a good mechanic who towed it and found that the engine had less than a quart of oil in it. There were no leaks, and it has never smoked. It has also never heated up. My engine is out of warranty, but I have been told by my oil change guy, who has also inspected the vehicle, that Dodge is having a lot of problems with the 2. 7l motor. A local dealer told him this. At any rate, I have a blown motor on a car that is 3 years old, and apparently no recourse. Please help me if you can. Dt.

Transmission was leaking fluid from underneath vehicle. Dealership was aware of problem. There were no injuries to report. The engine was leaking oil and was repaired. The consumer says the steering wheel was making noise when making a right turn, but the dealer could not duplicate the problem.
