Consumer Description

I HAVE FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS LISTED FOR THIS EXACT FAILURE ON THE 1994 INTREPIDS. THIS TO ME IS A VERY VERY DANGEROUS FAILURE, AS I WAS ON A MAIN HIGHWAY WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED CAUSING IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER. THIS COULD HAVE EASILY OCCURRED ON THE CAPITAL BELTWAY THAT I WAS APPROACHING, WHERE VEHICLES ROUTINELY TRAVEL 55+ MPH. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR MY OWN SAFETY AND THAT OF MY SPOUSE/CHILDREN SHOULD THIS FAILURE HAPPEN AGAIN, AND OF COURSE I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE WELFARE OF OTHERS. IN SEVERAL E-MAIL MESSAGES THAT I HAVE VIEWED SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES HAVE BEEN QUOTED THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF "A PROBLEM". I CAN MAKE THE E-MAILS AND QUOTES AVAILABLE TO YOU IF YOU SO CHOOSE. I JUST HAD THIS TRANS REPLACED TODAY AT A COST TO ME OF $2,000.00. THIS SEEMS TO BE THE AVERAGE PRICE ACCORDING TO E-MAILS. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO HAVE THE REPAIR DONE AS I DEPEND ON MY VEHICLE FOR DAILY COMMUTES/TRANSPORT OF CHILDREN ETC. I APPRECIATE YOUR PROMPT ASSISTANCE, AS I WILL BE CONTACTING LOCAL OFFICIALS REGARDING THIS HAZARD. W. MICHAEL PURDON, VP, PURDON ASSOCIATES INC.
