2002 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.

Fire reported
AN OIL PLUG FRONT LEFT OF ENGINE BLOCK BLEW OUT PUMPING OIL ONTO CATALYTIC CONVERTER. OPEN FLAMES MELTED WHEEL WELL, BACK BUMPER, AND FUEL HOSES OFF OF GAS TANK. FIRE WENT OUT WENT ALL THE OIL WAS PUMPED OUT OF ENGINE AND CAR STOPPED MOVING. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER SAFETY, THEY REFERRED ME TO DODGE CUSTOMER CARE; THEY INITIALLY CREATED A CASE #31892226 BUT THEN SENT A LETTER SAYING THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE BECAUSE THE CAR WAS OUT OF A THREE-YEAR WARRANTY PERIOD AND ALSO UNSPECIFIED ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS. ALTHOUGH MY WIFE AND SON WERE ALMOST IMMOLATED, IT WASN'T IMPORTANT ENOUGH FOR THEM TO CHECK INTO. THE CAR REMAINS PARKED AT A LOCAL GARAGE AWAITING INVESTIGATION.

MY 2002 DODGE INTREPID HAS HAD MANY PROBLEMS SINCE I BOUGHT IT ROUGHLY FOUR YEARS AGO. I WAS INFORMED THAT IT HAD A REBUILT ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. JUST RECENTLY IT HAS BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS SHIFTING OUT OF KNOW WHERE. I WAS AT THE STOP LIGHT AND WHEN IT TURNED GREEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS AND IT DID NOT WANT TO GO. I LET UP THE GAS AND IT KICKED IN TO FIRST GEAR. WHEN I AM DRIVING AND GETTING UP TO ABOUT 30-35 MPH IT WOULD GO UP TO 3RPM AND NOT SHIFT. I DO REGULAR OIL CHANGES ON BOTH THE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE. THIS PROBLEM CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE CAR IS JUST DOING WHATEVER IT WANTS TO. AFTER READING ALL THESE OTHER COMPLAINTS IT IS VERY SIMILAR TO MY PROBLEM. I AM UNDERSTANDING NOW WHY DODGE STOPPED MAKING INTREPID. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AND WILL NEVER BUY DODGE AGAIN. *TR

I OWN A 2002 DODGE INTREPID WITH A 2.7 LITER ENGINE. ENGINE OIL LIGHT KEEPS FLICKERING. ALSO, SOMETIMES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN OFF AGAIN. I DID A CODE CHECK TO FIND IT WAS THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND OXYGEN SENSOR. I TOOK THIS VEHICLE TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP. WHEN I SPOKE TO THE SERVICE ADVISER AND A MECHANIC, THEY STATED THAT THERE IS NOT MUCH I CAN DO, THIS IS AN ON-GOING PROBLEM WITH THESE ENGINES. I WAS SHOCKED, WAY TO GO DODGE! EVEN YOUR OWN EMPLOYEES DON'T HAVE ANY FAITH IN YOUR PRODUCTS! I REGULARLY CHANGE THE OIL MYSELF EVERY 3,000 MILES WITH SYNTHETIC. *TR
