The 1993 Dodge Intrepid has 3 recalls, the most serious being a fuel leak risk on 3.3L engines where deteriorating O-rings around the fuel injector rail can allow gasoline to escape into the engine compartment and ignite.
The floor shifter's ignition-park interlock can also fail in two ways: it may let the driver pull the key out while the transmission is not fully in park, or it may allow the shifter to be moved out of park without the key in the ignition at all. Either way, the vehicle can roll away on its own without warning. On the suspension side, small washers on the front lower control arm tension strut can crack and fall off, which typically announces itself as a clunking noise during braking. While that symptom is less dramatic than the other two issues, a failed washer affects how the front suspension holds its geometry under braking loads.
