FACTORY STRUTS(SUSPENSION) ARE INADEQUATE TO SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE. MY STRUT MOUNT/PLATE &BOLTS BROKE AT 55 MILE PER HOUR & THE STRUT WENT THROUGH THE STRUT HOUSING/PLATE. THE STEERING/SUSPENSION SYSTEM IS COMPLETELY AFFECTED WHEN THE STRUTS BEGIN TO FAIL ON ALL VEHICLES. WHEN STRUTS FAIL SPRINGS ALSO FAIL CAUSING EVEN MORE STRESS ON THE OTHER STEERING/SUSPENSION PARTS(ALL BUSHINGS, TIE RODS. CONTROL ARMS, BALL JOINTS, CV JOINTS, TRANSAXLE, SWAY BAR. I HOPE IM MAKING SENSE, THIS NEEDS SERIOUS EXAMINATION AS CLUNK/ BUMP NOISES EVERY INTREPID ARE BAD STRUTS OR BAD STRUT MOUNT/BOLTS WHICH IMMEDIATELY INDICATE YOUR SUSPENSION/STEERING SYSTEM IS BEING BANGED UP.

WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH A LOUD POPPING NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. CONSUMER DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE OR RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. CONSUMER INFORMED THE MECHANIC THAT THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED MORE THAN ONCE. *AK

HAD TO REPLACE THE AXEL AND CV JOINT . NOW I HAVE SOME PROBLEMS WITH ALLIGNMENT AND IT IS MAKING A CLICKING NOISE WHEN I GO FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. *AK

#763280 | June 24, 2002

SINCE PURCHASE IN 2000, FRONT SUSPENSION PROBLEMS, DEALER ONLY OFFERED BOOT, NOT REPLACEMENT OF WHOLE AXLE. MECHANIC SAID BOOT WOULD NOT FIX PROBLEM. AIR CONDITIONER WENT OUT IN 2001, WHILE TRAVELING, COST $500 TO REPLACE PLUS RENTAL. IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED IN 2002, DUE TO NOT OPERATING PROPERLY. COULD NOT REMOVE KEY. COST AROUND $150 TO REPAIR. NOW, THERE IS A STRONG SMELL OF GAS IN THE CAR, WHILE IN USE. MPG SEEMS TO BE LOWER THAN SHOULD BE. THIS IS MY 3RD INTREPID AND THE ONLY ONE I HAVE HAD EXCESSIVE PROBLEMS WITH.*AK

#886201 | April 18, 2001

WHEN VEHICLE WENT TO MAKE A TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION AT ANY SPEED UNDER NORMAL WEATHER CONDITIONS, A 'CRUNCHING' NOISE WOULD COME FROM FRONT RIGHT SIDE OF VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP REPLACED TIE RODS IN AN ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THIS DEFECT, AND NOISE REMAINED. DEALERSHIP THEN LUBRICATED AN UNKNOWN PART OF SUSPENSION, WHICH DID ELIMINATE NOISE. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/ATTACHMENTS. *AK

#742287 | March 23, 2001

THE VEHICLE HAS AHD MULTIPLE ALIGNMENT AND TIE-ROD PROBLEMS. IT DISPLAYS WOBBLING AT VERY LOW AND INTERSTATE SPEEDS. CONSIDERING THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS RELATED TO THE STEERING RACK & PINION AND TIE RODS, I BELIEVE THAT A RECALL IS WARRANTED.

#736290 | November 20, 2000

3 MONTHS AGO IT NEEDED BOTH INNER AND OUTER TIE ROD ENDS REPLACED. TODAY WE WENT AROUND A CORNER AND THE RACK AND PINION FAILED. NO STEERING AND ALMOST HIT A PARKED CAR. VECHILE TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP AND I AM WAITING TO GET A ESTIMATE. FRONT END PROBLEMS AND STEERING PROBLEMS SINCE WE BOUGHT IT. TRANSMISSION IS STARTING TO GO AND WE HAVE HAD THE AIR CONDITIONER WORKED ON 3 YEARS IN A ROW. WE ARE GOING TO TRADE IT IN ASAP.
