2000 Dodge Intrepid ES 3.2

Summary:

I know the cars have a bad rap, but I got a good one

Faults:

Wheel bearings went out on this car about at 165,000 miles and coil burned out engine about 125,000 but original spark plugs was still in car, if I changed the spark plug like maintenance suggests probably wouldn't had that problem. Radiator replaced recently at 235,000 miles. Drive in NYC a lot so replace brakes two times a year and with the big pot-hole shocks once a year.

General Comments:

This Intrepid just keeps running for me. For a full size sedan it had pretty good. I have over 237,000 miles on this car and owned it for about 4 years and outside general oil changes and brakes. Never had anything major go wrong with the car. The worst thing to happen was the radiator went out on me, but that was after 235,000 miles. The engine just keeps on running for me through thick and thin.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I also have a 2000 Intrepid V6/3.2L. I love my car.

Besides changing oil every 3000 miles, I've only had the brakes done once and replaced struts because of personal preference of keeping the car in better shape.

Now starting to have some electrical issues with heater/AC controls not working, a blinker problem, but just cleaned contact and put bulb back in and has been working fine, had to replace my radio 2 yrs. ago. Seems like some things are burning out.

I am going to replace the ORIGINAL battery tomorrow. Wondering if that is causing some of my problems. Otherwise love this vehicle and the way it drives!

I am so glad that I didn't listen to my brother when he told me to buy the 2.7L. I only have 83,000 miles on it, but I hope I get a lot more out of it.

In matter of fact nothing has gone wrong with my car. The only problem I have with it is that when I crashed it, after it got repaired it has minor problems. But what car doesn't after a crash??

2000 Dodge Intrepid 2.7

Summary:

An accident waiting to happened

Faults:

I would like to join the rest in the many problems dodge has with their cars. It seems to me that the only thing a Dodge is good for is to throw them as far as you can.

To begin, well I have had to replace 2 door lock actuators at the tune of 30 a piece; they are not new, they are used; the only place to find it.

A radiator fan as well, and the fuses that go along to turn it on.

Also a new transmission along with a new radiator and window motors, not to mention the rotors, brakes.

All of these repairs happened within 2 months of buying the car. Also the left wheel bearing.

Anyway just to say I christened this car a FRED (******* RIDICULOUS ECONOMICAL DISASTER).

No way will I ever buy a Dodge or Chrysler; no wonder the germans don't want it. GOOD FOR THEM.

General Comments:

The car is the most undependable in the market. The only thing that sounds great about the car is the name, but as far as being a good old AMERICAN car, I would not have called it. Dodge and the Intrepid is an insult to our beautiful AMERICA.

I feel your pain... I have a 1999 Dodge Intrepid that I purchased from my husband's Grandfather. I never realized what a piece of car this car was.

Good news is that I traded it in on a Toyota!!! So it should be gone by Monday.

I have replaced sensors; the fan works on high only; A/C stopped working again; struts are still making some noise in the front end that no one can figure out. I don't think that I am getting the money back that I spent on repairs.

I am so dissappointed with my dodge Intrepid 1999. I just got it a couple of months ago. I has already seized and I am so frustrated. It will cost almost $4000.00 dollars to repair it. It is a beautiful car on the outside, but ugly on the inside.
