| I am the original owner of a 1993 dodge intrepid (3.3 engine) which has experienced unpredictable engine shut off while driving at any speed. the instrument panel flickers and then the engine shuts off, making steering very difficult and endangering the occupants because the motorists around me get no warning of the sudden slow down. *jb | |||

| First failure, around october 1997, was leak in fuel supply rail on starboard side of engine. this leak covers the two items from your list, as you have no specific item for fuel rail. leak is worst in cold weather, hardly leaks at all in warm weather or after engine reaches operating temp. have contacted two dodge dealers; they say that they are aware of a number of similar failures, but manufacturer does not underwrite repair. manuals do not list fuel rails as a service item and there is no protocol for replacement of the seals, therefore, we feel that the faulty seals are a manufacturing defect. (?) failure number two, the battery cable positive simply rotted out at the termianal end and lost continuity. manufacturer should have used an insulation the would survive better and longer in the engine room environment. obviously, the conbination of a leaky fuel rail and a defective battery cable is not a happy one. thanks for listening. | |||

| I have a 1993 dodge intrepid 3.3l v6. the engine will stop running at any speed usually after a brief warm up. some times the engine will stop only for a moment (less than 1 second) then come right back on. when it quits for more than a second, the ignition switch must be turned off then the car can be restarted. this has happened probably more than 100 times over the last 4 years. i have taken the auto to a dealer and independent repair shop, spent several hundred dollars and have yet to been able to identify the problem. its very unsettling to be travelling at 65 mph and the engine stops!*ak | |||

| Dealer diagnostic showed faulty circuit board cluster. problem as follows: causing cruise control light to turn on at speeds ranging from 10 - 55 plus miles per hour without driver engaging cruise control. i feel that this is a possible safety hazard, this control engaging itself at speeds under 35 miles per hour. secondary problem: vehicle has begun to stall in traffic. the latest was on 5/11/02 - speed of vehicle 35 miles per hour - vehicle quit and was forced to pull over to side of road to get out of traffic and re-start vehicle. please note that this vehicle had major tune-up done less than 6 months ago. have also replaced starter in dec. 2001, fuel pressure regulator last month. please respond at your earliest convenience. keith w. adam 5/11/02. *ak | |||

| The mileage is a guess, it was 65 or 68000 when i bought it. the steering column shakes in my hand when car moves 10 mph or more, doesnt seem to affect turning but does make it difficult to hold steady & feels dangerous; about 2-3 months after purchase, all interior lights, cruise,tbl indicators wont go off unless disconnt batt. had to remove bulbs to get emer indicators to wk; hdlights vry dim & wipers malfunction when rain is heavy on hdlites; also can see drops of fuel on top of engine while running but no fires so far. can i get them to fix or am i out of all the money or should i get rid of car because tbls may return. now they are constant everyday all the time | |||
