Common Dodge Shadow Problems and What Repairs Can Cost

Your Shadow is the kind of car Dodge is known for -- one at once reliable, fuel-efficient, and above all, affordable, both to finance and to maintain. Keep it a car you can depend on to get you places on the cheap -- stay on top of regular maintenance.

Here's a few common problems you might run into, how to handle them, and most importantly, what it might run you at a Mopar service center.

1. Bad Fuel Pumps

If your Shadow won't start, then most likely, the fuel pump is faulty. This is a known issue for models from between 1990 and 1994 with 100,000 miles or fewer. You'll have to replace both the pump and the fuel filter. The filter can run $150 or more on average, while the pump can run $540 plus.

2. Faulty Engines

If your Shadow has a four-cylinder engine and it's leaking oil, then most likely, the problem's the camshaft plug, its seal, a valve cover gasket, the cylinder head gasket, or the distributor. This is a known issue for models from between '90 and '94; it can happen at any mileage. You'll have to replace whichever is the trouble. A head gasket, for example, can run $1,000 or more on average, while a valve cover gasket, on the other hand, can run $135 plus.

3. Bad Distributors

If the four-cylinder in your Shadow stalls and won't start again, it's probably got a failed distributor pickup plate. This is a known issue for models from between '90 and '94 with 151,000 miles or fewer. You'll have to replace the distributor assembly, most likely, at a cost of $480 or more on average.
