NHTSA Complaint #738029 — 1998 DODGE INTREPID

DEALER ALIGNED VEHICLE MOVING RACK AND PINION STEERING OVER LAST YEAR. SINCE THEN THE CAR PULLS LEFT. TOOK IT BACK TWICE TO THE SAME LOCATION, HAD IT ALIGNED AT TWO TIRE SHOPS NUMEROUS TIMES AND AM ALWAYS TOLD IT IS ALIGNED TO MANUFACTURERS SPECIFICATIONS. I HAVE A CONTINOUS PULL TO THE LEFT WHICH GETS WROSE AT HIGWAY SPEEDS. DEALER TOLD ME TIRES AND HAD FOUR DIFFERENT SETS PUTS ON FROM DIFFERENT MANUFACTUERS AND STILL THE SAME PROBLEM AND AM ALWAYS TOLD IT IS FINE. THE CAR IS NOT FINE AND IS UNSAFE AND BUMPY ROADS BESIDES HARD ON MY SUSPENSION AND MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL ON THE LAST 3 SNOW STORMS WE HAD HERE THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. I AM SICK OF THE RUN AROUND AND EACH TIME IT COSTS ME BECAUSE IT IS NOT A COVERED ITEM EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A 7 YEAR 70,000 MILES WARRANTY. THE ENGINE HAS LEAKED SINCE I BOUGHT HER AND THERE AGAIN AM TOLD IT IS FINE. SHE HAS BEEN TO 3 DIFFERENT DODGE DEALERSHIPS AND AM ALWAYS TOLD THE SAME THING. THE ENGINE LEAKS AND 2 WEEKS AGO SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING AND FOUND THAT IT WAS ENGINE OIL ALL OVER THE BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE AND EXHAUST BUT TOLD SHE WAS FINE WHEN IT WAS IN THE DAY BEFORE AT THE DEALERSHIP. I AM TIRED OF THIS CAR AND CAN NOT AFFORD TO CONTINOUSLY REPAIR IT KNOWING THEY DID SOMETHING TO HER AND WILL NOT HONOR THE REPAIRS. I NEED YOUR HELP.*AK
