1995 DODGE INTREPID. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS VEHICLE STALLING WHILE DRIVING. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED, THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND IT WAS DIFFICULT TO STEER THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP, WHERE THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED. *JB

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN MY CAR JUST DIED. I DIDN'T GET ANY FLASHING LIGHTS, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANYTHING. IT WAS AS IS SOMEONE HAD TURNED THE CAR OFF WITH OUT MOVING THE KEY FROM THE ON POSITION. ONCE I COME TO A STOP, I CAN SIT FOR A LITTLE BIT AND THEN THE CAR WILL START BACK UP AS IF NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. I HAVE RECENTLY HAD A FEW ISSUES WITH SOME OTHER THINGS THAT WERE RESOLVED BY REPLACING THE IGNITION SWITCH BUT IT DIDN'T SEEM TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I TOOK THE CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP AND HAD THE DIAGNOSTICS RAN ON IT BUT IT DIDN'T COME BACK WITH ANY CODES. I OFTEN DRIVE WITH MY WIFE AND KIDS IN THE CAR SO NOW I FEAR THAT THIS MAY CAUSE US TO GET IN A WRECK. *TR

I HAVE A 1995 DODGE INTREPID. UNTIL 4 MONTHS AGO, IT NEVER HAD A PROBLEM, ONLY DID ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND THAT WAS CONSTANTLY DONE. IT HAS A NEW TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR (UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY), AND NEW STARTER, ALTERNATOR, AND BATTERY. THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED ABOUT 2-3 YEARS AGO. FOUR MONTHS AGO, THE CAR STARTED TO ACT UP. FIRST, I NOTICED A "BURNT OIL OR ANTI-FREEZE" SMELL. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC, WHO I HAVE HAD FOR MORE THAN 15 YEARS. HE COULDN'T FIND ANY LEAKS OR PROBLEMS AND REMINDED ME THAT ALL THE HOSES AND ACCESSORIES WERE REPLACE A YEAR BEFORE. HE SAID THAT HE SAW NOTHING DRIPPING OR BUILDING UP ANYWHERE. A WEEK LATER, I WOULD DRIVE IT SOMEWHERE, GET OUT AND DO WHATEVER IT WAS I NEEDED TO DO, GO BACK AND IT WOULDN'T START. EVERYTHING SOUNDS NORMAL, LIKE IT WANTS TO START, BUT DOESN'T. IF...

DT: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE FELL OFF THE VEHICLE. HAD THE INNER AND OUTER TIE RODS REPLACED TWICE. DID ONE REPLACEMENT BEFORE THE TIRE FELL OFF. THE SECOND REPLACEMENT WAS DONE AFTER THE TIRE CAME OFF. THE REPLACEMENTS DID NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM. WHILE DRIVING IT FELT AS THOUGH THE WHEELS WERE FALLING OFF. WHEN HITTING A BUMP WHILE DRIVING THERE WAS A SNAPPING NOISE FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. ANOTHER CONCERN WAS THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. ONLY ONE HEADLIGHT WILL WORK ON BRIGHT AND ONLY ONE WILL WORK ON DIM. THE CONTACT REPLACED BOTH BULBS IN THE HEADLIGHTS, BUT THIS DID NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM. HE CHECKED THE FUSES, AND THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS WITH THEM. ALSO, THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH FELL OFF WITHOUT BEING HIT OR KNOCKED OFF. *AK

SINCE OWNING THE 1995 DODGE INTREPID WE PURCHASED BRAND NEW, THESE ARE THE PROBLEMS EXPERIENCED SINCE OWNING AND THE PROBLEMS BEING EXPERIENCED NOW. WE HAVE HAD STEERING PROBLEMS WHICH REQUIRED THE POWER STEERING PUMP TO BE REPLACED, ALSO SOME ARM HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL WOBBLING. OUR ELECTRIC LOCKS HAVE ENGAGED AS IF HOLDING THE SWITCH FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THE DRIVER SIDE. NEVER WAS FIXED DUE TO DEALER NOT DUPLICATING. OUR AC/HEAT ELECTRONIC CONTROLS STUCK AND WOULD NOT RESPOND TO ANY COMMANDS AND CONSTANTLY WAS BLOWING HOT AIR, PULLING FUSE WAS ONLY REMEDY. ELECTRONIC GAUGES WILL NOT ALWAYS SHOW CORRECT INFORMATION IE. FUEL LEVEL, TEMP, FUEL USED, COMPASS, ..ETC, TURNING CAR ON/OFF WILL USUALLY CORRECT IT. OUR FUEL RAILS HAS BEEN REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY RECALL, BUT I STILL WILL SMELL FUEL INSIDE. OUR PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG IS...
