Consumer Description

TRANSMISSION FAILED - CONTINUALLY WENT INTO LIMP MODE - AFTER REPAIR THE SHIFTING IS SLUGGISH AND UNABLE TO BE REPAIRED BY DEALER AFTER THREE VISITS. DEALER KEEPS REFERRING TO DRIVEABILITY PROBLEMS SUGGESTING THAT SPARK PLUG WIRES, SPARK PLUGS, CATALYTIC CONVERTER, AND SENSORS BE REPLACED. ALL THESE ITEMS WERE REPLACED AT CONSIDERABLE EXPENSE AND THE CAR STILL SHIFTS POORLY WITH POOR ACCELERATION. THIS IS ON A CAR THAT HAS BEEN LITERALY BABIED WITH ONLY HAVING 70,000 MILES ON IT IN 6 YEARS. TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ON THE INTREPIDS, CONCORDES, AND EAGLE TALONS ARE WELL KNOWN. WHY HAVEN'T THESE BEEN RECALLED?!! THERE ARE NUMEROUS TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS CONCERNING THE POOR TRANSMISSION QUALITY AND PROBLEMS. ALSO A REVIEW OF DODGE'S SERVICE RECORDS WOULD SHOW THE HIGH RATE OF FAILURES ON TRANSMISSIONS IN THESE CARS.
