DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE, THE ENGINE STALLED AND THERE WAS A LOSS OF ALL VEHICLE POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT MANAGED TO PULL OVER WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. ALTHOUGH THE DEALER WAS ALERTED, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO ALERTED.

IT IS VERY SIMPLE, IT IS THE WELL KNOWN AND WELL DOCUMENTED DEFECTIVE FAILURE OF THE 2.7LL V6 ENGINE MADE BY CHRYSLER, WE TOOK GOOD CARE OF IT, AND IT DIED JUST LIKE THE OTHERS, ENGINE SLUDGE DESTROYS ENGINE, WE WERE DRIVING 65 MPH ON RTE 90 (MASS PIKE). LOST POWER, MADE VISCOUS KNOCKING NOISES, STALLED......HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED. *NM

THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER WHO DETERMINED THE POWER CONTROL MODULE OF THE ENGINE FAILED. THE POWER CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED ALONG WITH THE CAM/CRANK SHAFT SENSOR. AFTERWARDS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP FOR FURTHER INSPECTION, IT WAS DETERMINED THERE WAS A FAILURE OF THE POWER CONTROL MODULE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT ALERTED. *AK

THIS IS A CORRECTED COMPLAINT, THE COMPLAINT I FILED PREVIOUSLY HAD INCORRECT INFORMATION. DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BACK BEGAN RECLINING UNEXPECTEDLY. LOCAL DODGE DEALER PERFORMED RECALL SERVICE ON RECLINER BOLTS, BUT SEAT STILL CONTINUED TO RECLINE, HAPPENING REPEATEDLY ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, VERY NEARLY RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT WITH A CHILD ON A BIKE. FINAL REPAIRS PERFORMED AT LOCAL BODY SHOP, NYLON GEAR IN SEAT TRACK WAS STRIPPED. WAS REPAIRED WITH PARTS FROM A USED SEAT ASSEMBLY IN GOOD CONDITION. NYLON GEARS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MOVEMENT OF SEAT BACK ARE INADEQUATE AND SHOULD BE REPLACED BY DAIMLER CHRYSLER CORPORATION WITH STRONGER QUALITY GEARS. BODY SHOP KEPT OLD SEAT TRACK WITH DEFECTIVE GEAR AND MAY STILL BE AVAILABLE. *NM

I HAD A BEAUTIFUL BLACK 4 DOOR INTREPID THAT I MAINTAINED VERY WELL AND AT THE BANK IT STARTED TO KNOCK AND BY THE TIME I GOT 2 MILES TO MY REPAIR SHOP IT WAS DONE. I HAD THE GUYS TEAR IT APART AND FIX THE PROBLEM TO THE TUNE OF ALMOST A $1,000.00. IT WAS MY ONLY CAR AND I JUST BOUGHT IT SO I HAD NO CHOICE BUT BEING A SINGLE MOTHER OF 3 KIDS IT PUT A MAJOR DENT IN MY POCKET. AT THE REPAIR SHOP THEY SUGGESTED I GET RID OF IT CONSIDERING THEY COULD NOT GUARANTEE HOW LONG IT WAS GOING TO LAST BUT COULDN'T AFFORD TO DO THAT AT THE TIME. 4 MONTHS LATER IT WAS BACK IN THE REPAIR SHOP THEY FIXED IT AGAIN AND BOUGHT ME A FOR SALE SIGN. NEEDLESS TO SAY LESS THEN A MONTH LATER IT SEIZED UP, THE PEOPLE AT THE REPAIR SHOP MADE ME LEAVE IT THERE AND TOOK ME HOME. THEY PUT IT UP FOR SALE AT THEIR LOT BUT IN THE END I COULDN'T MAKE PAYMENTS ON SOMETHING I COULDN'T DRIVE AND GAVE IT BACK TO THE BANK THEY ARE STILL TRYING TO SELL IT AT THE AUCTION. LOVED MY CAR BUT IT RUINED MY CREDIT WITH ALL THE EXTRA REPAIR BILLS I HAD TO MAKE ON IT, WISH IT COULD HAVE BEEN FIXED THE FIRST TIME. *JB

I AM EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE OF THE SEAT BACK RECLINING UNEXPECTEDLY. IT WAS SERVICED AT OUR LOCAL DODGE DEALER, PURSUANT TO THE RECALL OF THE RECLINER BOLT. HOWEVER THIS DID NOT REMEDY THE SITUATION, AS THE SEAT BACK STILL RECLINES ON IT'S OWN, AND HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING. THE SERVICE TECH'S AT OUR LOCAL DEALER DID A DIAGNOSIS PRIOR TO MY FINDING OUT ABOUT THE RECALL, AND CLAIMED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE SEAT TRACK. I STRONGLY FEEL THAT A NEW RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED, BECAUSE THIS ISSUE MAY STILL EXIST WITH OTHER INTREPIDS THAT MAY HAVE ALREADY HAD THE RECLINER BOLT SERVICED.
