2000 Dodge Intrepid Other / unspecified Problems

I OWN A 2000 DODGE INTREPID AND HAVE HAD THE OIL SENDING UNIT PRESSURE SWITCH AND A FEW OTHER THINGS REPLACED ON MY VEHICLE AND YET THE OIL LIGHT STILL COMES ON IN MY VEHICLE AND I CAN'T KEEP AFFORDING TO TAKE IT IN TO A SHOP AND I MAINTAIN THE OIL CHANGES BEFORE THE 3000 MILES IF NOT EXACTLY ON THE 3000 MILES. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO FIND OUT IF THEY HAVE ANY KIND OF RECALL ON THIS TYPE OF SITUATION. *TR

2000 CHRYSLER INTREPID WITH LESS THAN 70,000 MILES USED PRIMARILY BY MY WIFE FOR WORK. (85 MILES PER DAY). CAR STARTED TO KNOCK. WE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR INVESTIGATION AND WERE TOLD WE HAD AN ENGINE FAILURE. DEALERSHIP REPLACED SMALL BLOCK WITH WHAT I WAS TOLD AS BEING A NEW AS AN AFTER MARKET PART. WE STARTED TO HAVE OIL CHANGES DONE AT DEALERSHIP ONLY EVERY 3,000 MILES(ALTHOUGH OWNERS MANUAL STATES 7,000 FOR OUR THE TYPE OF DRIVING. AT LESS THAN 40,000 MILES THE ENGINE STARTED TO KNOCK AGAIN. DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT STAND BEHIND PRODUCT OR REPAIR AGAIN. I BROUGHT IT TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP THAT WAS RECOMMENDED TO ME BY A FRIEND IN THE BUSINESS. THIS REPAIR SHOP HAS HAD SOME LUCK WITH REPAIRING THE PROBLEM. UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME NOT THIS TIME. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER SEVERAL TIME WITH SAME RESULTS AS MENTIONED, SERVICE NOT PERFORMED BY DEALERSHIP TO BAD, I WAS ALSO TOLD THIS BY DALE FRANK THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE ALL MY VEHICLES SERVICE AT OR BEFORE 3,000 MILES. I FINE IT VERY ABSURD THAT THE SPARK PLUG CHANGE IS AT 100,000 MILES WHEN THIS ENGINE HAS NO CHANGE OF EVER SEEING THAT NUMBER OF MILES. *TR

AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 12 MILES TO WORK THE CAR WAS PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE AND WHILE STRAIGHTENING THE WHEELS A LOUD POP WAS HEARD AND THE CAR HAD NO STEERING. THE INSPECTION REVEALED THAT (2) TWO 1/2 INCH THREADED BOLTS (THAT BOLT THE TIE RODS TO THE STEERING RACK HAD SHEARED OFF. ONE OF THE TIE ROD BUSHINGS WAS GONE AND THE AREA THE BUSHING WAS IN WAS EXTREMELY WORN, REQUIRING REPLACEMENT. THE RACK AND PINION WAS REPLACED ON THIS VEHICLE AT 20,000 MILES UNDER WARRANTY. THE CAR WAS REPAIRED BY REMOVING THE RACK, BACKING OUT THE OLD BOLT ENDS AND INSTALLING NEW BOLTS. THE ONE TIE ROD WAS REPLACED. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CORPORATION CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY OFFERED NO HELP ON THE REPAIR. THE DISTRICT REP WAS ASK TO HELP AND HE DENIED ANY HELP. (HE DID NOT EVEN LOOK AT THE DAMAGE. I WAS TOLD THAT HE WOULD NOT OVER RULE DETRIOT). *JB
