Vehicle Speed Control Problems of Dodge Intrepid

Car sticks in 2nd gear during driving and frequently stops moving, going into limp mode. While driving the car will not accelerate and the rpm will go from 2 to 4. When decelerating and breaking, it will act erratic often as if it was placed in neutral and jerk. While in a parking lot surrounded by pedestrians the did the same and did not stop as it should have. This problem is unpredictable and can lead to accidents as it may occur at any time (on the freeway and hillsides). Dealerships will tell people the computer is returning a p1776 and p0700 code. I was told to get another transmission. A different repair station suggested a new solenoid pack for the 2003 Dodge Intrepid ES 3. 5l. The solenoid pack with build date ranges from 3001 and 0603 may be defective (search "21-008-04 rev. A" service bulletin). This is a big problem because it will destroy your transmission if not addressed properly and has almost caused an accident involving pedestrians. Please have your serviceman check the build on the solenoid pack.

My car was parked and the ignition was off. I started the car, placed it in gear and it "bolted" forward at a high speed. I was parked facing a guard rail in a shopping center and the car lurched forward and smashed into the guard rail. Unable to be driven, the car was towed to a body shop for extensive repairs. I don't have the repair estimate as of this date. Car is currently being repaired.

The contact owns a 1998 Dodge Intrepid. The engine stalled while driving on the freeway at a steady speed at 40 mph. The engine did restart at about 30-40 minutes later. This happened 8 times since this began 3 weeks ago. Today the dealer replaced a crank sensor, but as of yet she has not driven the vehicle to see if it was repaired.

I was on my way to work that morning and there was a loud clunk and then the wheel locked up. I was unable to break or turn the steering wheel without major difficulty. My speedometer went from 45 to 10 in seconds so I was able to coast to a stop. When the car was towed and checked by the mechanic I was told that the timing change prematurely "popped" and one for the pulley's bent all of the valves which blew my motor. I was then told that it would take $5000 to replace the motor. I don't have $5000 so I had the car towed to my mothers home where she has room for the car and it has been sitting ever since. I have a 5 year loan on this vehicle that must be paid and no vehicle. Even a used motor is going to cost me at least $2800-$3000 and this is not money that I have available to me. The car was well-maintained and recieved oil changes and I made sure to get everything done before it was needed. I still have 3 years to go on the loan and absolutely no way to pay for the repairs. And I know that the longer the car sits the worse the overall damage will be because things will begin to wear down from non-use. But what else can I do??.

My 1998 Dodge Intrepid 2. 7l 6 cyl. Has a problem with the idle speed. It almost acts like the car is out of timing but this only occures after the car is at running temperature. Many other things have gone wrong but would take me the rest of the night to explain them all. I have had to replace the wire to the oil pressure sending unit. I had to fix the clip on my driver side window. My rotors allways feel like they are warped and shake when I slow down. I'm stuck on what to do about this engine failure thing because my wife and I still have around $4000 to pay on the car. It is very frustrating.
