2002 Intrepid problems

[star_cutie08]

I had everything done, the Celunoid, the transmission flush, and filter changed, and the two sensors, input and output changed. It totaled $949 because I told it to a dealership, stupid on my part. But the place that I bought it from actually paid half, which I was greatful for. The guy I bought it from called the dealership up and talked with them and the mechanic said that it was necessary to have everything done, so I dont' think they screwed me, just on the price. But everything is running good, so I'm greatful.

Hey everyone hows it going. . I'm back on here again. Well, it's been about well, not even a month since I had my car in the shop for the first time and now it's back in. I am having break problems this time.

I had my foot on the break and then suddenty my sister and I heard a 'Pop' noise. The break fluid was the first thing I checked and it was fine. I still have breaks, it's just that you have to push very hard. Pushing down on the break petal is like pushing down on a rock. So I have talked to some people and a majority of the people think its a break booster. So what I was wanting to know is, is that expensive to fix. It's in the shop right now, and if they don't get back to me soon, they have had the car since Monday morning, I am going to take it somewhere else.

power booster line blew for some reason maybe old mabe booster has hole in it that will make it hard as a rock..look at the vaccum line try to replace if no hole in line then get ready to buy power booster.

I finally called the shop after not hearing from them for 2 1/2 days. They said it was the vaccum booster, and that it was really bad and that I needed a new one. So for about $260 they are replacing that. . I just am having no luck at all with this car lol

if you want it cheaper go get one at a salvage yard probabley 25 to 30 bucks not that hard to put on..

2002 to 2004 Intrepid have chronic valve body/solenoid pack problems. Ive owned two 2002 2.7 SE's and in both cases had the P0700 code that I was able to correct by replacing the valve body/solenoid pack with a used unit from the auto recycler. Total cost to replace was $60 for the VB/SP and $50 for the ATF+4 fluid.

Changing the fluid/filter or speed sensors is futile and only prolongs the agony.
