SINCE OWNING THE 1995 DODGE INTREPID WE PURCHASED BRAND NEW, THESE ARE THE PROBLEMS EXPERIENCED SINCE OWNING AND THE PROBLEMS BEING EXPERIENCED NOW. WE HAVE HAD STEERING PROBLEMS WHICH REQUIRED THE POWER STEERING PUMP TO BE REPLACED, ALSO SOME ARM HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL WOBBLING. OUR ELECTRIC LOCKS HAVE ENGAGED AS IF HOLDING THE SWITCH FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THE DRIVER SIDE. NEVER WAS FIXED DUE TO DEALER NOT DUPLICATING. OUR AC/HEAT ELECTRONIC CONTROLS STUCK AND WOULD NOT RESPOND TO ANY COMMANDS AND CONSTANTLY WAS BLOWING HOT AIR, PULLING FUSE WAS ONLY REMEDY. ELECTRONIC GAUGES WILL NOT ALWAYS SHOW CORRECT INFORMATION IE. FUEL LEVEL, TEMP, FUEL USED, COMPASS, ..ETC, TURNING CAR ON/OFF WILL USUALLY CORRECT IT. OUR FUEL RAILS HAS BEEN REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY RECALL, BUT I STILL WILL SMELL FUEL INSIDE. OUR PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG IS WARPED. OUR HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT COME ON AT TIMES AND EVEN GO OUT WHILE DRIVING. FLASHING HIGH/LOW BEAM STEERING COLUMN SWITCH WILL USUALLY MAKE THEM COME ON. OUR MOST RECENT PROBLEM AND THE STATE OUR VEHICLE IS IN RIGHT NOW IS SMOKE IS COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN AND IT IS VERY HOT AND I BELIEVE A FIRE IS TRYING TO START. THE CAR IS PARKED AT THE LOCATION THIS STARTED AT AND IS NOT BEING DRIVEN. *JB
