What are signs my Dodge drivetrain is damaged?

How often should I come in for Dodge Intrepid differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

What causes a Intrepid’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

If your Intrepid has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

Can you reset your Intrepid’s malfunction warning light at home?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my Intrepid serious?

Does my Intrepid transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your Intrepid includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your Intrepid forward.
