Vehicle will take long to accelerate ,and it will vibrate while driving. Dealer notified.
The transmission has an intermittent problem that two dealers have tried to fix, then tell me that the condition is normal. The brake rotors have warped, it took three trips to the dealership repair shop to fix the problem. Warranty was charged twice on brake repair when only one repair was done. Defroster function on car was inoperative due to water collecting in ac unit. Ac has moldy smell that has not yet been corrected. Very dissatisfied with dealerships that try to repair car.
Steering rack changed by the dealer-stiffness and clicking were the symptoms, transmition selonoid change by the dealer $600- banging into gear when outside temperatures were hot; water leak on passenger floor- dealer tried to repair twice problem ongoing; windshield tends to fog very rapidly I have noticed this problem with many Intrigue's that I see on the road.
Transmisson stopped working, would not shift or allow vehicle to move forward or reverse. Front door molding slides back toward rear doors, causing doors to be jammed.
When accelerating a stopped position, the low track which downshifted vehicle failed, engine cut off. Dealer couldn't find the cause.
