2003 Dodge Intrepid review from North America
"I will never buy another Dodge again"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Car is getting stuck in third gear.
The engine is building up sludge.
General comments?
This is a common problem that should have been taken care of.
I started having this problem and took it to one mechanic who said it was a sensor in the transmission, and to take it to a transmission place. I took the car to Mr. Transmission and was told the transmission needed to be rebuild. I told them to check the speed sensor and the TCM. I ended up paying $1800 for them to rebuild the transmission, and as soon as I left the place it got stuck in third again. Obviously they did not check or replace the sensor. I wounder if I even needed my trans reworked at all. I do have three month warranty and will take it back, but to what avail?
