Problem overview

Some Dodge Intrepid owners report experiencing coolant leaks when reaching operating temperature, which may originate from various sources such as the water pump, radiator, or hoses. Additionally, these owners have noted overheating issues that could be caused by a malfunctioning radiator fan or a failed thermostat. Furthermore, some owners report hearing clunking noises when steering, which may indicate problems with the steering system or suspension components, potentially unrelated to the coolant issues. To address these concerns, it is advised to check the coolant level, inspect for leaks, verify the functionality of the radiator fan, and examine the steering and suspension systems. If these measures do not resolve the problems, consulting a mechanic or a Dodge Intrepid specialist may be necessary for proper diagnosis and repair.
