ON THE AIR CONDITIONING PROBLEM, THE BEARINGS IN THE TENSION PULLEY WENT BAD AND IT SHREADED THE SERPENTINE BELT WHICH WE HAD JUST REPLACED ALONG WITH THE ENTIRE NEW ENGINE. ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION. A SENSOR WENT BAD AND THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR UNLESS THE CAR WAS STOPPED AND THE IGNITION TURNED OFF. AFTER THAT, AS SOON AS WE BROUGHT THE CAR TO A STOP IT WOULD AGAIN FAIL TO SHIFT OUT OF FIRST WHEN RE-ACCELERATING. THE ENGINE IS THE BIG PROBLEM. THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON. MY WIFE PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY. BUT THE ENGINE QUIT BEFORE SHE COULD EVEN GET THE CAR STOPPED. HAD IT TOWED TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. THE SAID IT HAD NO OIL. WE CHANGED OIL IN THIS CAR LIKE CLOCKWORK. EVERY 3000 MILES AND WE HAVE RECEIPTS TO PROVE IT. THERE WAS NO OIL LEAKING. AND NO BLUE EXHAUST SMOKE INDICATING...

ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. THE SPEEDOMETER DID NOT WORK EITHER. THE MECHANIC SAID THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND ALSO INFORMED ME THAT OTHER DODGE INTREPIDS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. *AK
