| Purchased vehicle 01/30/12,test drove,checked fluids,made sure everything was working fine. seller said he just had oil change and smog 1 month prior, he provided me documents confirming. had no issues with vehicle, until about 03/20/12,the oil light came on, which was odd. i checked the oil,found it was completely empty, put 2 quarts in immediately,light went off. i started checking driveway daily for signs of oil leaking even though the car drove fine.03/28/12, car stalled,went completely dead, as i exited freeway, leaving myself and my 3yr. old stuck in lane on off ramp for about 30 minutes.a passerby attempted to jump it,that didn't work,car had no power at all,we pushed it to a safer spot. i walked 2 blocks home. came back next day,jumped it,it started but now there was a knocking sound coming from engine and oil light was back on. i checked the oil it read full,i drove car home it stalled 3 times in the 2 blocks home. knocking sound continued i parked the car. the next day i took the car to my mechanic the oil light was still on the engine was still knocking. he checked oil again and confirmed the car did have oil,and detected no signs of leaking. he ran a diagnostic on engine, it detected no issues,he ran it again,and the results where the same. he drove the car,me in the passengers seat so he could get a hear the knocking sound when car was moving.backed out of lot driving about 10 to 12 mph, we got maybe half a block and the car went dead. he was able to guide car to side of road,when he pressed the brake to put the car in park, there was a barely audible bursting sound.we got out and found a thick black muddy type substance gushing out of the bottom from the front end, leaving a puddle the length and width of car. he immediately identified it as oil sludge, and said my engine had blown. we discussed my options and ultimately i had to have the car towed home it hasn't started. *tr | |||

| I own a 1999 dodge intrepid es and while driving, the car just quits and i have to coast to a safe area off the road. the engine just kills. once stopped, i try starting the engine. it just turns over and won't start. after waiting about 3 to 5 minute, it will start up as if no problem. mechanic can not diagnose the issue through computer, because it won't store the fault code. it happens on a monthly basis, approximately. i have replaced cam sensor, crank sensor, timing belts, and no fix. it's almost as if there is a bad ground to a electrical sensor or exposed wire. plugs and wires were replaced, but no solution. i'm just looking for someone who has eventually solved this issue. the car isn't that bad, replaced a lot of electrical sensor components, but would just like to solve this problem permanently. any advice or solutions are more than welcome please. it's somewhat nerve racking to drive, not knowing when the next problem will occur. please help. *tr | |||

| My wife was driving back from the store when the engine just stop and locked up right in the middle of the highway, she was able to coast the car of the side of the road. we had a mechanic look at it, the reason for the failure was the engine ran out of oil. the oil light never came on, not once, the mechanic could not find out where it went to, but couldn't. i had this car for about 11 months before this and checked the oil on a weekly basis. how could this happen. how could a dodge dealer sell this car. now i'm stuck with an $11,000 paper weight in my drive way. i think dodge should replace my engine and figure out why something went wrong.*ak | |||

| On 7/30/04 while driving to work my car seemed to begin idling high. while taking off from a stop sign, my whole car jerked and made a loud clunk sound. my speedometer quit working, my check engine light came on and my car would not shift out of high. i made it to work and called the closest dealer and was told it was a sensor. made it to the dealership, to have car checked and was told it was definately the sensor. i was also told that i had the best warranty and would be no problem. also told them the passenger window in the front only worked occasionally and i had received recalls. also explained that windshield washer bottle was broken. ended up paying over $380.00 to have car repaired and declined fixing the windshield washer bottle because that would cost an additional $200+. i feel this is very dangerous, since speedometer quit working and engine was stuck in high. dealership acted like no big deal and i am still upset at paying over $380 and having the best warranty. *ak | |||

| I purchased this vehicle in march of 2001. i have had nothing but trouble with it ever since. i have had electrical, air conditioning, and transmission problems which has resulted in approximately $2,600 in repairs in the year that i have owned it. i have contacted the crysler corp. and they did not help me in anyway. the car orignally had a 36,000 mile 3 year warranty on it. now the crysler corp. offers a 7 year 100,000 mile warranty on all their vehicles. this the first crysler product and the last one i will ever buy. i have previously owned gm products and currently own a 1997 ford f-150 pickup and i am very satisfied with it. is there any help you can give me? i have all receipts for all repairs since i have owned the vehicle. *ak | |||
