1999 Dodge Intrepid suspension problems

“I BOUGHT THIS 1999 DODGE INTREPID FROM CLIFFS USED CARS SALES TWO MONTHS AGO. EVERYTHING SEEMED GOOD ONE MONTH OR LESS LATER DRIVER SEAT BREAKS GOES BACKWARDS. THE EXTERIOR HEADLIGHTS CAN'T SEE AT NIGHT. TRIED EVERY TYPE IF BULB ITS THE HOUSING UNITS. NOW FRONT EBR CLYNKS OVER EVERY BUMP AND MAJESA THUNP WHEN HARD TURBUBG LFT OR RT. STEERING IS OUT IF LINE. HAVE NO MEANS OF GETTING IT REPAIRED STILL PAYING IN IT. 166000 NILES AND OWE $1500.00. CAN ANYONE HELP ME? THIS SHOULD FALL UNDER THE RECALLS”

“WHILE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, A LARGE AMOUNT OF SMOKE WAS OBSERVED IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. AFTER FINDING A SAFE PLACE TO QUICKLY PULL OVER, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE RIGHT REAR STRUT HAD FAILED COMPLETELY AND WAS RESTING ON A BRAND NEW TIRE. THE TIRE WAS SMOKING AND DESTROYED. IT HAD ONLY MILLIMETERS OF TREAD LEFT BEFORE THE STRUT WOULD HAVE PUNCTURED AND EXPLODED THE TIRE. LATER AT A GARAGE, THE STRUT WAS SHOWN TO HAVE BROKEN COMPLETELY. ALTHOUGH I SURVIVED THIS NEAR DISASTROUS INCIDENT, IT COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN MUCH WORSE FOR ME AND OTHER INTERSTATE USERS NEARBY. *TR”

“FIRST, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I GOT IT FROM TO FIND OUT THAT THE EGR VALVE NEEDED TO BE CHANGED, DID THIS. THEN I DROVE IT FOR 1 WEEK AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER TO FIND OUT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CRANK SHAFT AND THAT IT WILL BE VERY COSTLY TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. ALL OF THIS HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DRIVING IT. THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE AND I GOT VERY SCARED. I ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 3 MONTHS AND IN THE 3 MONTHS ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS HAVE ERUPTED. I NEED SOME JUSTICE IN GETTING THESE PROBLEMS ADDRESSED SO THAT THE CAR CAN BE FIXED WITHOUT COST TO ME WHEN CHECKING THE INTERNET AND FINDING OUT THAT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. IT IS SOMETHING THAT DODGE KNOWS THAT THESE CARS HAVE THOSE PROBLEMS AND THEY ARE NOT HONORING HELPING THE OWNERS FIX THEM. *TR”

“WHEEL BEARINGS WEARING OUT, ABS BRAKE LIGHT STAYING ON, BRAKE PADS BEING REPLACED ALOT, WEARING OUT TIRES ON THE FRONT (NEW TIRES) IN LESS THAN 6 MONTHS, BRAKE CALIPER NEEDING TO BE REPLACED REPEATEDLY, BALL JOINTS WEARING OUT, UNSAFE TO DRIVE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF FAILURES, LOSS OF USE OF VEHICLE DUE TO THAT FACT. *TR”

“TIRE HAS BEEN SQUEAKING LOUDLY FOR QUITE A WHILE...FOUND OUT THE BALL JOINTS WERE BAD. HAD TO HAVE THEM REPLACED.. SAW MULTIPLE THINGS ONLINE SAYING THEY WERE RECALLED FOR OTHER YEARS ,AND CLOSE TO BEING RECALLED FOR THIS MODEL, SO I AM INDICATING THAT THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS...I DRIVE 3 CHILDREN AROUND AND COULD BREAK DOWN WITH THEM. I BOUGHT THIS AS A RELIABLE FAMILY VEHICLE AND IT TURNED INTO A PIECE OF JUNK. *AK”

“I BOUGHT A USED 1999 DURANGO IN 2004 WITH ONLY 37,000 MILES ON IT. AFTER REACHING 51,000 MILES THE WATER PUMP WENT OUT AND TOOK SEVERAL OTHER COMPONENTS WITH IT COSTING $900 IN REPAIRS. NOW AT 67,000 MILES, I NEED TO REPLACE TIRES AGAIN AND REPLACE BALL JOINTS FOR ANOTHER $800. NO CRASHES OR INJURIES, JUST FRUSTRATION AT A POORLY BUILT PRODUCT WHICH NO ONE SEEMS WILLING TO STAND BEHIND. *TR”
