2003 Dodge Intrepid Sxt Sedan 4-door 3.5l on 2040-cars
Kellogg, Iowa, United States
2003 Dodge Intrepid SXT. 3.5 liter V6. Silver with rear spoiler and sliding sun roof. Gray cloth interior. 6 disc CD changer. Power locks/windows/seats. 130k. 1 pair of new tires in Dec 2011 (112k mileage) and the other pair replaced in June 2012 (119k mileage). Oil change every 3k miles. New tie rods in August 2013. Replaced upper radiator hose in Nov 2012. I am 2nd owner. Purchased car in summer of 2010 and it had 63k miles on it. All of the miles I have put on it are highway miles (used car as winter/work car).
Has following issues: driver's side door will not unlock w/ door switch or key fob. All other doors unlock. Side mirror controller does not work. A/C does not work (did not work when I bought car--heater works great!) Check engine light comes on from time to time (has done this since I bought car) and may stay on for weeks or just days then will go off for a while. I have had this checked numerous times and nothing ever comes back wrong....just faulty sensor/light. Starting to rust above rear back tire. Has a few scratches/chips/dents. Defrost vent on passenger side has been busted (was like this when bought car). Missing "N" in "INTREPID" on trunk. Transmission eventually needs replaced; or can be replaced right now. Sometimes (not all the time) when you go to slow down (like to turn off highway onto different road) it seems to kick out of gear and then will not shift when you go to pick up speed (RPMs just go higher). If you turn car off and restart then the issue stops. I have had this looked at by a transmission repair shop and they informed me that I need a new transmission but the one in it right now can be rebuilt. I was quoted $1800+ tax and I just don't want to pay that right now which is why I am selling car as is. Other than this "major" issue the car has been absolutely wonderful and has always ran perfectly and has been very reliable. (The computer code that the shop found is P1776 for solenoid switch stuck in low reverse. Performed pressure test, pressure ok. When trans pan was removed metal was found in pan. Internal trans concern.) |

1942 Dodge Carryall from WWII featured on 'Jay Leno's Garage'
Thu, Dec 28 2017On this episode of Jay Leno's Garage, Leno takes a look at a unique Dodge Carryall, both in its past and present states. The Carryall is a 1942 model restored and modified by Winslow Bent at Legacy Classic Trucks in Wyoming. According to Bent, the truck spent time in Tunisia during World War II. Obviously it's no longer a military vehicle, but Bent explains that he and his crew built the truck to still be extremely durable, since its new owner wanted a support vehicle for classic car rallies around the world and in remote locations. To reach this end, the Carryall's original inline-six has been replaced with an intercooled Cummins 4BT turbocharged diesel four-cylinder. Bent modified the engine to make less power than it could in order to make the engine understressed and longer lasting. In total, it makes only 130 horsepower, but 380 pound-feet of torque. It also features a boxed frame and heavy duty axles. It's plenty practical, too, with a large roof rack, winch, and even an on-board welding setup. But it's not all hardcore upgrades, since it also has air conditioning. Check out all the other cool details and listen to Leno and Bent geek out over leaf springs and intakes in the video above.

Brand new cars are being sold with defective Takata airbags
Wed, Jun 1 2016If you just bought a 2016 Audi TT, 2017 Audi R8, 2016–17 Mitsubishi i-MiEV, or 2016 Volkswagen CC, we have some unsettling news for you. A report provided to a US Senate committee that oversees the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and reported on by Automotive News claims these vehicles were sold with defective Takata airbags. And it gets worse. Toyota and FCA are called out in the report for continuing to build vehicles that will need to be recalled down the line for the same issue. That's not all. The report also states that of the airbags that have been replaced already in the Takata recall campaign, 2.1 million will need to eventually be replaced again. They don't have the drying agent that prevents the degradation of the ammonium nitrate, which can lead to explosions that can destroy the airbag housing and propel metal fragments at occupants. So these airbags are out there already. We're not done yet. There's also a stockpile of about 580,000 airbags waiting to be installed in cars coming in to have their defective airbags replaced. These 580k airbags also don't have the drying agent. They'll need to be replaced down the road, too. A new vehicle with a defective Takata airbag should be safe to drive, but that margin of safety decreases with time. If all this has you spinning around in a frustrated, agitated mess, there's a silver lining that is better than it sounds. So take a breath, run your fingers through your hair, and read on. Our best evidence right now demonstrates that defective Takata airbags – those without the drying agent that prevents humidity from degrading the ammonium nitrate propellant – aren't dangerous yet. It takes a long period of time combined with high humidity for them to reach the point where they can rupture their housing and cause serious injury. It's a matter of years, not days. So a new vehicle with a defective Takata airbag should be safe to drive, but that margin of safety decreases with time – and six years seems to be about as early as the degradation happens in the worst possible scenario. All this is small comfort for the millions of people who just realized their brand-new car has a time bomb installed in the wheel or dashboard, or the owners who waited patiently to have their airbags replaced only to discover that the new airbag is probably defective in the same way (although newer and safer!) as the old one.
