Brake Abs Warning Light Problems of Dodge Intrepid

I purchased a 2002 Dodge Intrepid brand new, this is my second daimlerchrysler vehicle that has not held up well that I consider a lemon. At 26 miles, the abs light came on for a few seconds, then turned off, there was almost no braking power. I had to quickly downshift into low gear to slow down the car. This has happend several times. At first I thought it may have been things breaking in. Dodge dealers just deleted the "internal cab failure fault code" and did nothing to try and fix this. Later the steering began squeaking during low speed manuvers. Then I experienced play in the steering wheel. At 2000 miles the vehicle would wander and would almost never drive straight. After 2 dealership alignments and 1 independent, the steering wheel is still off center. 3 different oem tires rotated to front completely worn on outer edges, abnormal tire wear and feathering. Suspension squeaks loudly at times. At about 500 miles the transmission would sometimes slam into 3rd gear, shift rough in lower gears, bump, hesitate, stumble. Dodge dealership always "could not duplicate" the problem. I almost crashed when driving and front wheel hit moderate puddle when vehicle was thrown into another lane. I was told by the service manager "those things happen". I have written and spoke to daimlerchrysler reps many times, they deny there is any problem. At about 13,000 miles the engine would clank when starting sometimes (sounds like not firing up properly). I have never had these problems with any other vehicle, even front wheel drive and do not see how they can get away with this. There are many others experiencing similar premature problems that should not be occuring as such. . Read more...
