My 1997 Dodge Intrepid transmission has gone 3 times since I've owned it I purchased it in early 1999 with 48000 miles the 1st time the shifterwould not go all the way in to park and at 62000 miles it went and all I had was reverse. I had a warranty through the car dealer with a $250 deductible. They rebulit transmission and at 84000 the samething happen 13mos. Later and of coarse no warranty so I had to pay full shot this time at the sum of $ $1,300. Now it seems that it is starting to act up again.what to do? other than this this has been the most dependable running car as far as any thing else goes I have ever had. And yes I do have the filter & fluid changed when it should. One more thing I've had the car checked a couple of times for when I start out from a stop wether slow or quick the car sometimes seems like the universals are bad(like on a rear wheel drive car) but I was told cv joints and all else was fine so I asume it has something to do with the transmission.
Limp home mode, diagnosed as a bad transmission solenoid pac, replaced ($440), still had mil light and same "limp home mode" problem. Diagnosed by dealer ($90), sain broken internal transmission hub, suggested I pay for factory rebuilt transmission ($2500) since rebuiling it would cost almost as much due to all the updates for the transmission (tsb's), transmission model 42le/A606.
While driving 35 mph the vehicle started to slow down and engine revved. Consumer was not able to shift gears. Dealer determined the shifter module of transmission needed to be replaced. According to dealer part is not available, R04606455ab..
The first 10 minutes of driving in weather of 50 deg F and colder, the transmission would suddenly shift out of whatever gear its in and into neutral. I would have to rev the engine a little bit and it would shift back into gear. The transmission fluid had a burned smell to it so I changed the filter and fluid. I use atf+3 7176, as recommended. But that didn't solve the problem. Then I thought it was because the car was cold, so before driving, I would let the car warm up for 5-10 minutes. That didn't solve the problem either. I've been researching the transmission problems on this vehicle and have found many complaints in regards to this transmission. There are even tbs on NHTSA, 21-07-98 & 21-02-98A, relating to my problems. I wish there is a recall on these. I can't believe a transmision would fail with only 62000 miles. In the mean time, I've read success stories from other owners who got Chrysler to fix the problem. I'm going to give it a shot now before I have total failure while driving some where far from home.
While pulling out from a stop sign with vehicle in second gear, vehicle locked up in second gear in middle of an intersection. Also, vehicle would not accelerate over 20 mph.
I have had to replace the transmission. The inside interior dash and overhead light come on and off when they want to. The dash flashes, when I open the doors sometimes the lights come on and sometimes they don't. the headlights automatic timer when shut off doesn't always work. The right axel on the passingers side needs to be replaces very lose. Automatic locks for the 2 back doors don't work.
Was driving vehicle when it started to lose power for no reason. It failed to go over 30mph. Took it to a private mechanic & was informed a drum broke off in transmission. Part holding drum had sheared off. Transmission needed complete overhaul. Also, had rear tie rods replaced/thermostat was replaced twice for overheating, and 02 sensors replaced twice due to engine check light coming on.
Leaks fuel directly over engine, extremely dangereous! recall this also! this car also is our second Intrepid to have catastrophic transmission failure to be covered under warrenty. Also the second Intrepid we owned that dealers refuse to fix air conditioner leak, they only spray an anti fungicide on the evaporator coil.
Consumer unable to shift out of gear or would not shift in gear while driving. Dealer notified, and unable to correct the problem. The check the engine light came on and stayed on due to the transmission failure.
