1993 Dodge Intrepid Heating & air conditioning Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the heating or air-conditioning system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Heating & air conditioning reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Heating & air conditioningTransmission
Filed Jan 20, 2000
THE TRANSMISSION HAD A SHUDDER BETWEEN 35-45 MPH AND THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REBUILT. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I FOUND THAT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR CHRYSLER AND DODGE VEHICLES. ALSO DURING THIS RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER HAD MANY PROBLEMS WHICH I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE. I FFEL THAT SINCE THIS HAS OCCURREDSO OFTEN THAT IT DEFINATELY IS A DESIGN PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER SHOULD BE FIXING THESE PROBLEMS. MY CHARGE CAME TO $1700 AND I FEEL THAT DODGE SHOULD BE PICKING UP THE BILL. THE AIR CONDITIONER JUST PLAIN STOPPED WORKING. THROUGH MY RESEARCH, THIS IS DEFINATELY A FREQUENT PROBLEM THAT THEY HAVE NOT ADDRESSED. *AK
