I was driving home from work. I had checked the coolant recently and the engine light was not on. Sitting at a light I looked at my temp gage it was climbing. Within seconds I heard a loud pop and steam started bellowing from under the hood. With out warning the water housing cover blew denting the hood. I am thankful I had just exited the interstate and was able to get to a safe place to park it fast. At this time I do not know what other damage has been done. Waiting on a new cover and we will find out.

The current and failure mileages were less than 80,000.
It has died 4 times while driving on the highway 73 mph. It will not start half the time and the engine light goes on and off. I bought it 3 weeks ago and it is a 2004 Dodge Intrepid.
My 2004 Intrepid has not failed but it is showing some of the same signs as many others have described. About 3 or 4 months ago my engine oil light started coming on while the car was sitting at idle or going at a slow speed. Recently the car has started not being able to come out of second gear until it has ran for a while. It also knocks while I am at a stop. I am on a fixed income and replacing an engine is something I cannot afford to do. What can be done right now to avoid this whole situation? why is the 2. 6l v6 engine so terrible? the dealership I purchased this 2004 Intrepid from has been bought out and is under new management. I do not want to end up with a car payment but no car.
1st incident on July 9th, 2005. Was driving on interstate i40 approximately 65 mph, all of a sudden the "check engine light" came on and the engine turned off. I managed to pull across three lanes onto the emergency lane! I waited for apprx. 10 minutes before I tried to crank up the car. I parked the car for that day. The next day when I checked the car, the engine light was no longer on! exactly one week later the same thing happen, again on a very busy hwy! I took the car to have the oil changed again and all other fluids checked. The engine light stayed on for that day and the next morning it was off! two days ago it happened again, this time I was not able to pull out of traffic!!!!fortunately we did not get hit by other vehicles. This morning I was standing at a traffic light when the car all of a sudden turned off "again", this time I had a hard time getting it cranked up. One important note, on two of those occasions I had my children with me (8 & 12) we could have gotten seriously injured. Having a vehicle malfunction like this after only 12 months can and will be a serious matter. . . . Chrysler will be in a lot of trouble if anything happens to me (single parent) or my children because they simply will not admit that there is a malfunction with these vehicles! consider this the first official notification from me. After I return from the dealership I will be in touch with my attorney!.
Almost immediately after I got my car I had occasional issue with it dying while I was driving. It got to be more often so I took it to the dealership as it was still under warranty. After 3 trips I was always told, nothing was wrong. Then my warranty ran out and my car died almost daily. Then my car would die while I was driving, usually would start right back up but not always and then the check engine light would be on. Then I had issues starting my car. I decided to take the less expensive route and go to a local mechanic. He drove the car and saw/felt no issues as the check engine light was now off. He told me he had to have the car hooked up to the diagnostic machine at the time it dies so he could see what the issue was as 2 different codes were coming up. These codes were p0340 (intermittent cmp signal) and p0344 (no cmp signal). I was told one of the connectors was installed improperly on my camshaft sensor. After another try, the car dies again. Mechanic stated the car started right back up and issue was gone. I drove off only to have my car die again. At this point I called the Dodge dealership to see what the codes meant. Without even looking at my car, I was told, have the camshaft sensor replaced. I was quoted $285. 00. I had just paid almost $200. 00 to the last guy and didn't have any more money to spend. A friend heard me having issues starting my car one day, I told him what I was told was wrong and the quote of $285. 00 from Dodge. We went to a local autopart store and purchased a camshaft sensor for $48. 00. Literally it took 5 minutes to loosen a nut, pop the faulty camshaft sensor off, put the new one on and tighten the nut. That simple! no more issues with my car dying while driving or starting. I think its disgusting there are complaints logged at least 7 years back on this engine and they are still manufacturing automobiles with this engine and ignoring the complaints. This should not be acceptable.

2004 Dodge Intrepid. The consumer stated the check engine light stayed on. The vehicle was taken to the dealership to be checked, and they could not find anything wrong with it. The check engine light went off, and a month later the light came on again. This happened 5 times. The vehicle will bet taken to the dealer for the same problem for the sixth time.
