I purchased a new 2000 Dodge Intrepid April 15, 2000. While on my way to thanksgiving dinner, on the expressway, the oil light came on & 2 seconds later the car stopped. I finally was able to move it to the right lane (there is no emergency parking on the van wyck) when all lights including my hazard lights went out. My family and I almost died on the expressway. I had it towed to a dealer that night and after repeated calls to them they responded six days later telling me the starter needed replacing and I needed a new battery. When I called to find out when it could be picked up, they told me I had a seased engine and they did could not tell me why. My warranty was for 7 years or 50,000 miles; however, I now had 60,000 miles there fore I am no longer covered and must pay $7000 for a new engine. I owe $13,000 on my car note, the dealer told me to pay of the note and come buy another car. I have researched and found numerous cases of seased engines on the model. The manufacturer is aware of this dangerous condition, my family was almost killed and I am sure there have been cases where this condition has been fatal. Something must be done.

Starter went out.

My car is only 2 years old and should not be having starter trouble. My mechanic has contacted the dealer for the part and the gentleman that her spoke with told him that it was a design flaw. I don't feel that I should be responsible to pay for product defects. My mechanic told me that the Dodge dealer told him that starters for Dodge are on national back-order. Over 350 orders. That makes me very uncomfortable. Please respond.

Vehicle caught fire under hood due to a faulty starter. Manufacturer has been notified.

Wheels are rusting on outside. Surface rust. Dodge states this is normal wear and tear. Steering wheel is peeling away. Dodge says this is normal wear and tear. Starter is too close to the muffler without heat shield. Power windows shorted out internally, causing fuse breaker to be to hot to touch. . Driver side mirror just cracked. Dealer said it may be a flaw. They have had to replace several for this reason. The glass is not available you must be complete assembly. The car is one year and five months old and is coming apart. Dealer will not fix because it is out of warranty. All repairs paid for out of pocket.
