2000 Dodge Intrepid Repair Question
Smoke, smell, car jumping, wont start??
2000 Dodge Intrepid 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 90,000 miles
I have a 2000 dodge intrepid...I was driving down a country road and hit two bumps that i did not know was in the road, immediately after white smoke started coming from my hood with a burning rubber smell. i stopped and got out to see, but i was only about a fourth mile away from the nearest town so i drove the there. While I was driving the car seemed to jump a little & my battery light came on. I turned my car off and let the smoke go out. The next day i went and my car would not start at all, none of my power windows or door locks would work. the engine wouldnt even slightly rev up at all..nothing when i turned the key. Could you tell me what might be wrong?

Hi:
It sounds like the serp belt was broken or something froze due to getting hit causing a pulley to freeze and burn up the belt. Thus, the alt wasn't able to charge the battery which I'm sure caused the no start condition. I just hope you didn't over heat the engine.
Let me know if this sounds right to you. If so, I help you diagnose the problem.
Merry Christmas,

I ended up taking to the shop. And this is about exactly what happened!! I just was wondering, so I could get a rough estimate for myself on prices..thank you so much..I really really appreciate it! I hope you enjoy your holidays. Have a Merry CHristmas and Happy New Year :)
Hi:
Listen, I can't give you an est, but when the shop tells you want is wrong, I can work one up for you so you feel more comfortable with what they say. Also, I'll let you know if what they tell you makes sense. It's not a problem. I enjoy doing this.
Same to you, Merry Christmas...
