1999 Dodge Intrepid 2. 7 liter 4 door 200,000 miles clean car would not shift into it's parking gear after a short trip. After several attempts I was able to shift the car into park. The next morning the car would not shift out of park. I tried with considerable force and the shift cable broke. . I removed the center console and repaired the shift cable arm which had bent and twisted in a forward direction allowing the cable to fall off. I was able to reshape the damaged arm and re attach the cable. . The car still would not shift. The engine was running so I know it is not a shift cable inter-lock problem. . . I have know idea as to what created the problem. I have had regular oil changes and inspection made to the transmission, there was not any slippage. . The parking paw would not engage and then not release. . . I allowed the car to warn to a normal operating temperature. . I then tried to shift the car from park and it did without any resistance. I still need to have the shift cable adjusted, the car is operating in park/reverse/neutral and drive only. . . I am worried that this condition could happen again. . . Have you any further reports of this occurrence?.

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.

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.

Contact owns a 2001 Dodge Intrepid. He stated that his wife complained that the car was hard to shift into park and in to he other gears. The mechanic that checked vehicle said it was the shift cable that connects the shift lever to the transmission. The mechanic said this was a very common problem with Intrepids. On 10-03-05 he had the cable replaced at a cost of $207. 19. Had to wait four days before the parts came in to get vehicle fixed. The contact wanted to file a complaint because this frightened him because if this was a major problem with the Intrepids as the mechanic stated, why has this never fallen under a recall?.

My 1999 Dodge Intrepid had sludge in the oil making the engine in the car defective. I recently saw the report on wls in chicago and I would like some answeres. This car was very well maintained and this should have not happened. I would like the makers to at least he a recall for the repairs my car needs considering that the engine that they put into these cars are not equipped to handle te size of this vehicale. We also have 4 other family members with this type of car and I'm afraid that this is going to happen to them. I'm not alone there are thousands of people, I'm sure that this problem has happened to them as well, but with all these people reporting the same sludgeand the 2. 7 engines in these cars going out, this is a defective engine in this car. What can I do with the help of you to get my car runing again. My family needs this car. Right now it is sitting in a shop because to get another engine costs up to if not more than $5,000. 00 which we do not have, and should be covered by the dealer considering that the engins is wrong for the car. Can you please contact and help me with this defect thank you.

Transmission light went on 8/11/04, and immediately, the car dropped into 3rd gear and would not go into overdrive. I took the car in for service. After a $100 deductable, the valve body was replaced. A few days later, it failed again. I returned to the same dealership (town & country Dodge in clarkston, mi). They reset the codes, in their description, and test drove it again. When I drove it home, it failed for a third time, same mode.

I purchased my 2003 Intrepid in December 2003 with 20,000 miles. In the spring of 2004 I had to replace the front rotors and discs it is now August 2004 and the same problem is occurring starting with squeaking and pulsation followed by grinding. The vehicle now has 40,000 miles on it and I am once again replacing rotors and discs. I do not have the 1st pair of rotors and discs that were replaced however I will keep this set. Another problem I have started noticing is when shifting the car into drive it occassionally does not respond and I have to place the vehicle in park a couple of times before drive will engage.

While the vehicle was parked. It jumped out of gea, and rolled down the street, hitting a post. Consumer drove the vehicle to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that the pin fell out of the transmission shift gear, and needed to be replaced.

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.

Mutiple reoccuring problems with the transmission on my 2001 Dodge inrepid that I purchased new. Tranmission had an oil pan leak first, then was leaking again six months later from the "weep" hole. Dealer stated that this was going to require the tranmission be removed from the vehicle and repaired. The car has only 38,000 miles on it. Also had a multitude of other problems with the vehicle including: been in the shop 3 times for an oil pan leak been in the shop for a leaking air conditioning system been in the shop for sway bar links and bushings this is a very poor quality automobile and consumers are being cheated by Dodge.

Transmission goes into limp mode in second gear . Driver window off track back window works when it get ready andengine light comes when it get ready seat belt retracts sometime I believe my car is falling apart.

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.

While driving in traffic vehicle stalled. Prior to this incident the engine light appeared. Dealership serviced vehicle 5 times, and provided a temporary solution. A repair shop performed a diagnostic test, and the failure codes were 700 and 701. This indicated a malfunction in the automatic transmission first gear due to a factory defect.

The shift lever is hard to shift, and it is out of alignment. When I put the shift lever in the drive mode, it stops in 2nd gear, but the indicator on the dash will say "d". Right now it's functioning, but it can go anytime now. I would like to know why this is happening, and how much it will cost to fix, and better yet will it fall under my silver warranty plan.

We bought our car new from gladstone Dodge, and noticed right off that there was an hesitation and lunging in the transmission. This problem was random, you never knew when it would happen. When we took it in anyways to be checked the wrote it up as they "could not verify" and next time "could not duplicate" . We kept calling and insisiting there was something. We were told to bring it in when it was doing it. They replaced the cam sensors and said that was problem, not the transmission itself. Then warranty expired we paid for the next sensor. They said still not the transmission. Now at 60,000miles the transmission is completely gone. Daimlerchrysler refuses to pay saying that the tech could not verify or duplicate the problem. Even though we tried to tell them on several times, that there was something wrong from the beginning. 2 months ago we were shown thick sludge in the oil on a routine oil change, now after research I see in a complaint site for Dodge Intrepids that there are 1,000 that have had the same problem with techs "unable to verify or duplicate" and customer keep insisting there is a problem, sensors replaced and only to follow with transmission totally going out. And with the sludge the engine ends up blown. Something needs to be done!!!.
