Faults:
When I bought the car, it had problems with the stabilizer bar links, but the dealer replaced them without any cost.
At 110000 Km one of the recently stabilizer link failed so I had to replace it again for around 80 CAD.
At 120000 Km I replaced the right lower arm because of a warned ball joint. But I consider all these directions related repairs kind of normal here in Quebec where I live, because the quality of the roads (especially the expressways) is way under poor.
At 130000 Km the primary speed sensor failed so I had to replace it. The cost was 100 CAD (20 CAD tip included)
The left side window motor is working pretty rough, but still up.
General Comments:
I owned before a 1995 Chrysler Intrepid with 3.5l engine, and I was pretty satisfied about it. When I replaced that one with the present owned one, I couldn't believe that I would do a big step ahead speaking of reliability, but I did. A normal maintenance was enough to keep the car in a excellent shape even if it is a 6 years old car. Due to the harsh weather conditions I use just synthetic oil and it seemed that it was a very good idea. The car runs like new and for those who like comfort, speed and maneuverability, I recommend it with the greatest pleasure. But no to the 2.7l engine. I think that who put that kind of engine inside the Intrepid had a very bad night before adding it to the project so the only engines who fit this car are the 3.2l and 3.5l.

With all due respect, what happened to your car to make you hate it so much???
