I PURCHASED A 1993 DODGE INTREPID FROM A USED CAR LOT. 2 DAYS LATER THE CAR STARTED SMOKING WHEN GOING DOWN A HILL. THEN THE BRAKE LIGHTS BEGAN TO STICK I HAVE TO PULL UP ON THE PEDAL TO GET THEM TO GO OFF AND THE STEERING WHEEL POPS WHEN GOING AROUND A CURVE. NOW THE CAR SITS AT A REPAIR SHOP NEEDING A TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THE DRIVE AND REVERSE GEARS FAILED LEAVING ME WITH A BILL OF 800-2000 TO REPAIR IT. I BELIEVE IF THE MANUFACTURERS WOULD'VE DONE THEIR JOB RIGHT IN THE BEGINNING ALOT MORE PEOPLE WOULD BE PROUD TO OWN A DODGE! *NLM

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1993 DODGE INTREPID. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE KEY REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION, A 12-YEAR OLD CHILD ENTERED THE VEHICLE FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS DOWNHILL AND STRUCK A TREE. THE 12-YEAR OLD STATED THAT HE DID NOT TOUCH THE GEARS, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN REVERSE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL.
