Faults:

At 97,000 miles the oil light comes on when the car is idling, goes off when you step on the gas.

I'm worried about the engine blowing.

Please let me know about any class action law-suit.

General Comments:

This car is a loser. It is my first and last Chrysler product. The first thing to go was both door lock motors on the passenger side. Next, it had a leaky oil gasket and the speedometer sensor went leaving me stranded.

The EGR valve needed replacing and the dealer just reset the engine light and left it. It finally went 5 months later and I had to pay for the replacement again. Now, my radio and clock refuse to work.

The 2.7 liter engine is a "dog" I will never buy below a 3.0 again. Chrysler should be ashamed to put their name on such junk. I will be dumping it in the spring.

Faults:

My timing chain and tensioner went out.

The oil pan has metal chips in it.

We took it to the dealership and they said without a breakdown that it needed a timing chain, tensioner, and guides. At the cost of 1200.00 dollars.. We took it to our trusted mechanic and he said the oil pan had metal in it and it would cost about 5500.00 dollars to replace the engine. Chrysler sent us an email after we contacted them that said in short sorry your car is out of warranty and there is no recall for this engine. That is such crap. If the technician can diagnose a problem and price a fix for it in one hour without an engine breakdown then there a recall. The only problem is they call this a technical service bulletin. It is a web site for the techs to go and look up already diagnosed problems with cars that the company wants the consumer to pay for. Because it is not a safety problem they will not do a recall on the 2.7 liter engines. And we are all stuck owing eight thousand dollars on a car with no engine.

I have found that the intrepid is a very roomy and comfortable car.

The ride was smooth and the engine quiet.

Faults:

The timing chain broke and the engine blewat 73,000 miles.

General Comments:

The car just cut off while I was driving. I had just got off the freeway and I couldn't get any acceleration all of the sudden. The dealership told me my engine was gone and that is normal for the intrepid with the 2.7 engine.
