Radiator Hose Problems of Dodge Intrepid

Overheating. I have had a new radiator put in. 2 new thermostats, cooling system flushed twice, new radiator cap, new top and bottom radiator hose, and my car still overheats. I bought this car thinking it would be a good car. But I don't feel safe in this vehicle at all.

I purchased my 2001 Intrepid with the hopes of finally buying a quality family car. In 2005 I spent $2800 to fix the cooling system, it drove well for three years until finally I had a leak; took it to a shop which then noticed a lack of oil pressure and finally discovered the sludge build up in the engine. I've been using synthetic for a while and this appears not to be the panacea for this contraption. My question is why no recall on this vehicle, how about a bail-out for those of us who demonstrated good faith for u. S. Owned and built products only to be taken for a bad ride. The 2. 7l engine is poorly designed and someone should be held accountable for this monstrosity. At some point in the design and testing phase poor performance or some other data should have been identified and appropriately addressed. The people who own and purchase these vehicles are not rich, else we wouldn't bother complaining and demanding a recall. We are typical americans who want and deserve value for our hard earned money. I don't have $8,000. 00 to fix this car. My kids have health conditions and I'm down to one car, and my wife and I commute to work. Who's going to bail us out. . . Nevermind that who's going to help us! the fair and right thing to do is recall this vehicle.

I bought a 99 Dodge Intrepid from freedom Ford in centre, alabama for a little over $14,000 about a year and a half ago. I went back last summer to trade in and was told that it was not even black booked for half that. Since then I have had to replace the cooling system (the entire system), all the fuses, the sensory module, the tie rods are shot and now the motor has locked up. Several mechanics have looked for a motor and found that the motor for this particular year of Intrepid runs $1,500 to $2000 more than all other motors, even the 2001 and newer models run $1000 to $1200 at the most. Their rejection to help me is due to the fact that the 99 model was an experimental motor and very few were made. I teach school and have found a CO-worker whose sister has experienced the same problems. Her husband contacted Chrysler and after arguing with them, they paid for half of his motor, which knocked his total expense within the normally motor replacement cost. I was given a flat no from Chrysler and was told that they only honor this for original car owners with less than 100,000 miles and have an active warranty. Well my friend was a second car owner with more than 110,000 miles, no warranty, and is will to provide the information necessary to prove that he was in my same situation and received assistance in paying for his motor. I also have mechanics who will provide statements that after searching the auctions and hotlines for a motor they found more Intrepids on the line with bad motors than any other car, some having as little as 60 and 65 thousand miles. I also have auto parts store owners who suggest that I call Chrysler to have them help with the expenses due to the fact that they have helped others. I just get the run around from Chrysler with no concern of me having to make a $386 car payment to Ford for a piece of junk sitting in my yard, and continue pay $107 a month insurance that has to continued due to state laws.
