2001 DODGE INTREPID — Complaint #450339

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SUPPLY filed January 16, 2004

NHTSA complaint #450339 (ODI reference 10054322) concerns a 2001 DODGE INTREPID and was filed on January 16, 2004. The owner reports the failure occurred on December 20, 2003. The vehicle had 65,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Florida based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as service brakes, air:supply, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same DODGE INTREPID cohort independently describe similar service brakes, air:supply failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2001 DODGE INTREPID shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.

Complaint Description

I HAVE A 2001 DODGE INTREPID WITHOUT ANY WARNING MY CAR'S ENGINE STOPPED WORKING CAUSING MY POWER STEERING AND BRAKES TO GO. LUCKLY I WAS TRAVELING AT SLOW SPEED, AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER WITHOUT CAUSING ANY ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES. ALTHOUGH I AM OK MY CAR IS NOT. THIS IS A NEW VEHICLE THE ENGINE SHOULD HAVE NOT GONE, BUT IT DID. I AM PAYING FOR A NEW CAR THAT DOES NOT WORK AND CHRYSLER DOES NOT ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY SINCE THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED.
