Engine and Engine Cooling · reported Dec 28, 2007
Car just shut down on interstate while I was driving 65 MPH. After being towed to auto repair shop. The car started back up with no problem for awhile, now the car is making noise. For years prior to this the car does not stop occasionally when brakes are applied.
Engine and Engine Cooling · at 95,000 miles · reported Aug 3, 2007
I bought this car new. I AM the only one who drives it and I have used synthetic oil the entire time. I have always taken care of it. I was on the off ramp of I-85 when it just stopped. It was smoking and then the oil light came on. I got out of the car because it was in a dangerous place on the off ramp and oil was spilling out of the bottom. We had to get the car towed. The mechanic said that it had two cracked heads. If I had been on the interstate when this happened I would have been seriously injured or killed. I AM extremely upset about this and I have called chrysler and registered a…

Engine and Engine Cooling · at 45,000 miles · reported Oct 19, 2006
I was driving down the 405 (8 lane highway in los angeles) and my chrysler intrepid with 45,000 miles on it blew up! I had to merge through 5 lanes of traffic to get to the shoulder of the road. I realized I wasn't in a very good neighborhood and when I was looking for help I was approached by what appeared to be a gang and they took all my money and threw me to the ground. After all of this I find out there's nothing I can do because the engine is blown to oil sludge! I just purchases the car 2 months ago and it only has 45,000 miles on it! Plus I was almost killed merging through traffic and…
Steering · at 88,683 miles · reported Nov 17, 2005
Rack & pinion was replaced 4/4/03...normal noise signaling a problem. On 4/22/05, when backing out of my garage, the rack & pinion failed again and this time both tires went different directions. If I had been on the road, I might have been killed...I had no steering at all. It was even hard to get it moved the rest of the way out of the garage to get it towed, since both tires were free spinning. The repairman at hoover chrysler said he had never seen such a failure. My husband contacted chrysler to let them know of our second rack and pinion failure and the potential life threatening…
