Well it seems this Intrepid I so graciously bragged about back in June has become my worst nightmare! I had it in the dealership garage 6 times for repairs on warning lights and engine and transmission problems all before I made car payment #3 on it. Now to top it off I had a clunking in the front end - thought it was made a tie rod because in the last Intrepid I had, I had a clunk and sure enough that is all it was. Nope not this time......I a told it is the rack and pinion. That is going to cost me $1300 to replace. Then I get on the internet and find that this is a known problem with these cars......the bolts can shear off while driving causing the driver to lose control of the steering. The dealer won't stand behind this 5 Star Certified Dodge vehicle and evidently Dodge won't either therefore the $1300 is at my expense. Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so did you just suck it up and pay for the repair or were you able to get Dodge to help or stand behind their vehicle? This has left a bad taste in my mouth with this car and I find myself grateful I didn't trade my old Intrepid in for the new one because I am back to driving the old one because it is safer and more dependable. So sad I have put more money into this new Intrepid in the first 3 month of ownership - in repair bills not to mention the car payment and insurance ontop of it - than I ever had to put into the old one and it is going on 200,000 miles. Maybe newer isn't all its cracked up to be?
