1999 Dodge Intrepid steering problems

STEERING

EXCESSIVE STEERING PLAY. AT TIMES VEHICLE WILL GO ON ITS OWN IN THE DIRECTION THAT I PREVIOULSY TURNED. IT WONDERS ALL OVER THE ROAD AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER SAFELY THEN IT TAKES AN EXTRA SECOND FOR STEERING TO RESPOND. IT STEERS LIKE A BOAT. NO INJURIES VECHILE PARKED IN DRIVEWAY AFRAID TO DRIVE.

STEERING

I WAS DRIVING MY 1999 INTREPID TO A DOCTORS APPOINTMENT. I WAS TRYING TO PARK IN THE PARKING DECK, ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A LOUD CLICK. FROM THAT POINT ON THE CAR WOULD NOT STEER RIGHT NOR LEFT. THE CAR WOULD ONLY GO FORWARD OR BACK. MY MECHANIC SAID THE STEERING BROKE. ALL MY 34 YEARS OF DRIVING I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN BEFORE. YES THE CAR IS OLD BUT I HAVE HAD OLDER CARS THAN THIS AND NOTHING HAPPENED THIS BAD.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 75 MPH FELT LOOSE PLAY IN STEERING AND BEGAN MOVING OVER TO THE SLOW LANE AND AS I DID THE STEERING COMPLETELY FAILED.

LUCKILY SINCE I WAS MOVING RIGHT PRIOR TO THE FAILURE MY CAR WAS POINTED TOWARD THE SHOULDER AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR SAFELY ON THE SHOULDER. CAR WAS TOWED TO DODGE DEALER WHERE I WAS TOLD THE RACK AND PINION HAD SHEARED OFF. COST OF REPAIR WAS $1600.

STEERING

SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH MY 1999 2.7 LITER INTREPID. FIRST, PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION SHIFTING HARD. SENT TO DEALER AND DIAGNOSTICS CAME BACK 'WITHIN PARAMETERS'. TOLD IT MUST BE HOW WE DRIVE IT. SINCE THEN, TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT BETWEEN 2/3 GEARS. LEFT ME STRANDED OUT OF TOWN. HAD TO REPLACE THE CONTROL MODULE TWICE ($35.00 PART). KEEP A SPARE IN THE GLOVE BOX JUST IN CASE. SECOND PROBLEM, A CLUNKING SOUND AND TICKING NOISE WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL IN EITHER DIRECTION. TOOK TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP, THEY WOULDN'T TOUCH IT. HAVE NOT HAD THIS PROBLEM CORRECTED OR SEEN BY DEALER. HOWEVER, I HAVE SEEN MANY TSB'S ON YOUR WEBSITE CONCERNING THIS ISSUE. THIRD, ENGINE STARTING MAKING A BANGING SOUND AT ABOUT 126K. HAD TO HAVE THE ENGINE REPLACED (BOUGHT A REMANUFACTURED ENGINE) AT A COST OF $5000.00, WAS TOLD SOMETHING IN THE BOTTOM END WENT. COULDN'T AFFORD TO BUY NEW CAR AND HAVE CAR PAYMENT. ONLY HAD 6 MORE PAYMENTS TO GO. WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THIS WAS COMMON WITH THESE ENGINES. WHY IS THIS ENGINE STILL ON THE MARKET IF IT HAS SOOOO MANY PROBLEMS?

STEERING:COLUMN LOCKING:ANTI-THEFT DEVICE

DT: THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 1999 DODGE INTREPID WHEN THE CAR LOCKED, INCLUDING THE STEERING AND THE ENGINE. THE CAR CAME TO A STOP ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS WAS THE FIRST INCIDENT OF THIS KIND WITH THIS CAR. ALSO, THE CONTACT HAS A 2000 DODGE INTREPID AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. HE REPORTED OF HAVING NO PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR PRIOR TO THIS. NO LIGHTS CAME ON, AND THERE WERE NO NOISES OR ANY WARNING. THE DEALER SAID THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THE WARRANTY ON THE ENGINE EXPIRED.

STEERING:RACK AND PINION

MY 1999 DODGE INTREPID HAS HAD STEERING PROBLEMS WITH CLUNCKING, STICKING AND PLAY IN THE STEERING. ON 7/22/2005 THE STEERING STUCK SO BAD THAT I COULD NOT TURN THE WHEEL AND ENDED UP IN THE LANE OF ON COMING TRAFFIC. WE HAVE TO REPLACE THE RACK AND PINION STEERING WHICH I HAVE RESEARCH IS A MAJOR FALIURE IN THE DODGE INTREPID AND A MAJOR SAFTEY ISSUE.

STEERING

WHILE OPERATING MY 1999 DODGE INTREPID W.BOUND ON A CITY STREET IN PHILADELPHIA I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN WHEN MY STEERING WHEEL STUCK FORCING ME INTO THE NORTH BOUND LANE. I COULD NOT MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL UNTIL I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. FORTUNATLEY THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC IN THAT NORTH BOUND LANES OR I AM CERTAIN I WOULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I CONTACTED THE DEALER I PURCHSED THE VEHICLE FROM, SINCE THE CAR HAS ONLY 37,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS INFORMED THAT MY WARRANTY WAS UP AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER. SINCE I AM RETIRED AND COULD NOT YET AFFORD TO GET THE VEHICLE FIXED IT IS STILL IN MY DRIVEWAY. MY WIFE WHO WAS IN THE AUTO AT THE TIME, REFUSES TO GET BACK INTO THE CAR.

STEERING:RACK AND PINION

AS OF 02/18/2005 I STARTED TO FEEL A SLIGHT BINDING IN THE STEERING WHEN TRYING TO RETURN WHEEL TO CENTER FROM A TURN. IT GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE TO THE POINT WHERE I OCCASIONALLY HAD TO "WRESTLE" THE STEERING WHEEL BACK TO THE CENTER POSITION. IT ALSO FEELS LOOSE, SUSPENSION RATTLES AND I'VE GOT 4 INCHES OF PLAY AT CENTER. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED IT WOULD COST $1300 TO FIX. I'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS TYPE OF FAILURE IN ALL OF THE YEARS I'VE OWNED CARS AND THINK THIS IS JUST A POOR DESIGN THAT CHRYSLER IS KEEPING MUTE ABOUT. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW AND HAVE BABYED IT EVER SINCE. IT HAS LESS THAT 60,000 MILES ON IT; I'VE OWN OTHER MANUFACTURERS THAT HAVE LASTED FOR A LOT LONGER. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING TO A CAR THAT HAS BEEN AS WELL TAKEN CARE OF AS THIS. IIF CHRYSLER FAILS TO ACT ON THIS PROBLEM IT WILL BE THE LAST TIME THEY GET MY BUSINESS.

STEERING

IN THE FALL OF 2001, WE BOUGHT A CERTIFIED USED CAR FROM CONTINENTAL AUTO MALL. IT IS A 1999 DODGE INTREPID. A SERVICE AGREEMENT ON THE CAR WAS ALSO PURCHASED. THE FOLLOWING HAS THEREAFTER TAKEN PLACE: THE TIMING CHAIN IDLER BROKE IN MARCH OF 2002. CONTINENTAL FIXED THE CAR UNDER SERVICE AGREEMENT. 67 MILES LATER, THE CAR DIED WITH MY DAUGHTER AND WIFE 7 MILES FROM HOME. IT HAD TO BE TOWED BACK TO CONTINENTAL AUTO MALL. WE ASKED WHAT HAPPENED AND WERE TOLD THAT THE OIL PUMP SCREEN WAS PLUGGED UP. WE ASKED FROM WHAT AND THEY SAID FROM THE FIBERS FROM THE TIMING CHAIN IDLER. FROM MY FATHER'S LIMITED EXPERIENCE IN MECHANIC WORK, THE OIL PUMP SCREEN BEING CLOGGED FROM FIBERS FROM THE CHAIN IDLER MEANT THAT THE ENGINE WAS NOT FLUSHED. SO FOR 67 MILES AFTER THE TIMING CHAIN WAS REPAIRED, THESE FIBERS WERE GOING THROUGH THE ENGINE EVENTUALLY CLOGGING THE OIL PUMP SCREEN. THE OIL PRESSURE MUST HAVE BECOME SO LOW THAT A SAFETY SWITCH SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE SAFETY SWITCH SHUT THE ENGINE OFF SO THAT THE LOW PRESSURE WOULDN?T FURTHER DAMAGE THE ENGINE. REPAIRS WERE AGAIN MADE BY CONTINENTALS SHOP. UNTIL THESE TWO INCIDENTS, WE WERE VERY HAPPY WITH THE CAR. AFTER WE GOT THE CAR BACK AFTER THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, THIS IS WHAT WE NOTICED: 1. THE ENGINE DIDN?T SEEM AS QUIET WHEN RUNNING. 2. IT NEEDED A QUART OF OIL THE FIRST WEEK. 3. BETWEEN OIL CHANGES, WE HAD TO ADD OIL 2-3 TIMES. BEFORE IT HAD NEVER USED ANY OIL. OTHER THAN ADDING OIL, WE DIDN?T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL THE POWER STEERING BELT IDLER BROKE THE 2ND WEEK IN AUGUST OF 2003. OUR MECHANIC, JOHN RICKMAN OF JOHN?S AUTO IN GIRARD, SHOWED US THE BRACKET FROM THE IDLER. THE BRACKET IS A FIVE-BOLT BRACKET, WHICH HAD ONLY TWO BOLTS IN IT, AND YOU CAN SEE WHERE THOSE TWO BOLTS HAVE BEEN WORKING. ON AUGUST 20, 2003, I PARKED THE CAR AT A FLOWER SHOP IN GIRARD. I CAME BACK TO THE CAR TO GO HOME AND THE CAR WOULDN?T START.

STEERING:RACK AND PINION

I HAD TO REPLACE THE STEERING RACK ON MY 1999 INTREPID AFTER ONLY 27,000 MILES. THE STEERING WHEEL HAD EXCESSIVE PLAY IN IT, AND SEVERAL TIMES WOULD NOT GO IN THE DIRECTION IN WHICH I WAS TURNING.THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD HAVE DONE TO CAUSE THIS, OR TO PREVENT IT. HE HAS REPACED RACKS AT 80,000 TO 100,000 MILES, BUT NEVER AS LOW AS 27,000 MILES. HE SAID THE INTERNAL GEARS WERE ALL WORN OUT. I WAS CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND ANY PASSENGERS IN A CAR THAT LOSES IT' STEERING. CHRYSLER DID WANT TO ASSIST IN ANY WAY. THEY SAID THE WARRANTY WAS UP.THEY ONLY REGRETED I HAD A PROBLEM .I CANNOT BELIEVE THE LACK OF CONCERN FOR SUCH A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT IS BEYOND ANY TYPE OF NORMAL MAINTAINENCE CONTROL. THIS GIVES ME GREAT CONCERN WHEN CONSIDERING ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT. IT COST OVER $1300.00 TO REPAIR.

STEERING:RACK AND PINION

WHILE DRIVING, MY 99 INTREPID LOSS POWER AND THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING A TERRIBLE KNOCKING SOUND. THE ENGINE TO MY CAR HAS DIED AT 95999 MILES. IT IS A SHAME. I HAVE ALWAY BEEN SUCH A BIG FAN OF CHRYSLER. I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF LOOKING FOR A MINIVAN TO TRADE THIS CAR IN FOR. NOW I STILL OWE MORE THAN $7000 ON THIS CAR AND STUCK WITH IT. I HAVE NO CLUE AS TO WHAT I AM GOING TO DO. I PRICED ENGINES. THEY RANGE FROM $3600-$4800 AND THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE LABOR. THE WORST PART IS I HAD MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR WHEN IT DIED. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT. ALSO THE STEERING MAKES A FUNNY KNOCKING SOUND WHEN I TURN. I AM NO LONGER A CHRYSLER FAN AND WILL MOST LIKELY NEVER OWN ANOTHER ONE. *NLM
