Automatic Transmission problems of the 2002 Dodge Intrepid

I own a 2002 Dodge Intrepid it has approx. 125,000 miles on it just got out of the shop 300 for transmission and it is not fixed it started to rain really hard mid June 10 since then car goes into what I know now as limp mode it goes into second gear and wont come out unless you pull over turn off and restart was fixing to call actual Dodge place then read on the internet of all the problems that are being had with these transmissions and engines as well. My car has started over heating. No warning has fluids. For 300 had everything services with fluids etc and an additive put in and told don't know how to replace transmission then I read person after person saying they are replacing the transmission over and over again and it is quitting in the middle of the road or continues to do what mine does. I am afraid I am going to get hit I was almost hit about a week ago by a diesel because it went to about 43 then jerked and went into second gear diesel right on my tail furious because I had to slow down rpm went up to 4 afraid going to blow the motor up no shoulder due to construction was trying to get out of the way before he slammed into me it is scary when it jerks I am afraid at some point I wont be able to get out of the way or I will be in a bad area and have to shut it off and it will lock up like so many others have. So now I don't know what to do with the car.

The contact owns a 2002 Dodge Intrepid. While traveling 35 mph, the contact felt the vehicle begin to hesitate. In addition, the vehicle's engine light remains illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated that the base light computer systems needs to be replaced. According to the owner's manual, the failure is due to the transmission. The VIN, engine size, and # of cylinders were unknown. The current mileage is 46 and the failure mileage was unknown.

After a short 5-10 minute drive, the transmission kicks into a low gear and will not shift. I can travel about 40 mph with the tachometer reading around 4500 rpms. It sounds like the transmission is going to blow up. I had it checked by a transmission place and even though the check engine light has stayed on for the past 2 months, they cannot isolate the problem. The recommendations of the error code does not reveal the parts as problems. I can turn the car off and put it in park and the problems stops for another 5-10 minutes if I am lucky. It seems there are many complaints about this on this website and it sounds like it is time for someone to force Dodge to fix their problems. I want the call to last long enough for it to be paid off and from reading others problems, I doubt that I will make it. One word needs to be said: recall.

: the contact stated while traveling 70 mph the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who informed the contact the transmission needed to be replaced.

Oil light came on while sitting at red lights. Changed the oil with 10w40 and seemed to correct the problem until the weather started to get hot. 2 weeks ago while slowing down for a red light, my transmission shifted down hard. When I started to leave the intersection, I noticed that the transmission would not shift. I can turn the car off and restart and runs fine for a while. Now its doing this pretty regular.

My wife's 2002 Dodge Intrepid, has operated well until a week ago. After about ten minutes of driving, the engine light comes on, the transmission drops harshly into second gear and stalls in the middle of the busy, busy street. A trip to our long trusted mechanic revealed a common known problem within the auto repair industry that the 2. 7l Chrysler automatic transmission usually needs replacement at about 50k on the 1998-2002 Intrepid models. The vehicle has been regularly maintained and carefully operated since purchasing. The opening of the transmission by my mechanic revealed no metal filings within the system. A change of sensor, filter, and fluids were hopped to solve the problems with the warning by my mechanic to start saving up quickly for more transmission work soon from his experience with this model. Two days later the problem recurred with the same problem. I contacted Chrysler on November 10, 2005, spoke to davey, to make a case file claim report. I asked what will be done in my situation. Davey transferred me to another person. Forty minutes later, tony picked up the phone. I asked what Chrysler will do as the car is about a year out of warranty. His response was 'nothing'. When I asked to have a contact number to speak with the Chrysler zone manger, tony stated that there was 'priority information' and he would not give out that information. Tony also stated that even if he did it would do no good as they would do nothing either. I completed my discouraging conversation with tony by asking why should my next automobile be a Chrysler product? since my wife is a public school teacher and cannot wait indefinitely for Chrysler's assistance, the two of us waited until the traffic was less and crept in first or second gear to a nearby recommended transmission shop for repair to paid out of our pocket.

Trans failed @ 57,000 mis. 2002 Dodge Intrepid had 60,000 mi warranty so it cost me $500 deductible to have it fixed. Car now has 130,000 mis & has been ok since.

After owning my vehicle for only 16 months, I am having to have the transmission replaced. I and my family almost had a serious accident with the car stalling it could have been a serious situation because the car would stall and completely stop at any give moment. I am also shocked that you can purchase a vehicle and have to pay for such substanstial repairs and that Dodge does not stand behind it's product.

Car began with not accelerating. It would feel as though it was sticking. I would be driving and between it changing from 2nd to 3rd gear (40-50mph), it would jerk or feel like it was popping into the third gear. I bought the car at 19,000 miles, took it to the dealership at 30,000 miles and they said there were no fault codes, (warranty ended at 36,000 miles) transmission ok. Now at 50,000 miles, my car has electrical and internal transmission problems. It will cost me anywhere from $1700-$2100. I have not had the car a full year. Called the manufacturer, nothing they can do for me, called the dealership where car was purchased, nothing they can do for me.
