1994 Dodge Intrepid Powertrain (other) Problems

Owner-reported complaints naming the powertrain system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Powertrain (other) 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.

I HAVE A 94 INTREPID THAT HAS A LURCH WHEN COMING TO A STOP AND HAS PROBLEMS GOING INTO GEAR WHEN IT GETS COLD. I WAS TOLD THAT THE SEALS INSTALLED AT THE FACTORY WERE FAULTY AND THE TSB INSTRUCTS THAT NEW UPDATED ONES BE INSTALLED WITH THE OVERHAUL. ALSO THAT THE TCM (TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE) BE UPDATE FROM A DEALER TO CORRECT THE COLD ENGAGEMENT ISSUE, THE ONE I HAVE NOW CAN NOT BE UPDATED AND I NEED A NEW ONE. I WAS HOPING TO AVOID THE $2000+ OVERHAUL. I HAVE OVER A DOZEN E-MAILS FROM OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE BEEN ON MANY WEB SITES WHERE OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH DODGE TRANSMISSIONS. I HAVE NOT HAD THE CAR REPAIRD YET BECAUSE I CAN NOT AFFORD THE REPAIR YET AND HAVE BEEN SHIFTING INTO NUTRAL BEFORE COMING TO A STOP TO AVOID THE LURCH. I FEEL THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT AND HAVE CALL THE FACTORY BUT THEY ARE UNWILLING TO DO ANYTHING UNLESS THOUSANDS CALL AND COMPLAIN. LMK IF YOU CAN HELP.
