Faults:

Timing chain and guides were replaced before I bought the car. Service manager said the engine should last another 100,000 miles.

Problem with broken bracket on driver's side front window. Repaired by dealer for less than $80.

Left bank catalytic converter is burned out along with the oxygen sensors adjacent to it. I have chosen not to replace because of the cost and the car runs fine as is. Fuel mileage is 1-2 mpg less at times.

General Comments:

This car replaced our '95 Intrepid that was in an accident with a deer and was totaled. It has been a very reliable daily driver and we have had none of the infamous transmission or air conditioning problems often associated with this brand. It rides comfortably and everything works, except as noted above.

It gets regular maintenance, which has helped to preserve its dependability.

It has a comfortable ride, and is fairly economical to operate, for a large car.

Faults:

The cigarette lighter does not work now.

General Comments:

This car still gets 30mpg on the highway and 25 mpg in town. My daughter is in college and doesn't maintain it as it should be--the oil changes are about every 5-7000 miles and we have done maintenance on it every summer, but that is all. This has been a wonderful vehicle for us.

Faults:

The motor on my 2000 Dodge Intrepid started knocking on 8/4/06, and on 8/5/06 the motor threw a rod. I had no warning lights or oil lights come on, in fact I had just had my oil changed. My intrepid has 129,000 miles on it, but has been well maintained.

I would like to get in on the class action lawsuit. Please e-mail me at depeyster2006@yahoo.com

I am so sick about my car, I love my Intrepid.

Faults:

I purchased my car in Sept. 2005. I loved the car, it was in really great condition, looks wise. What I didn't know is in a couple of months the engine was going to fail. I was driving when my car made an awful noise and it quit, no lights came on. I had it towed to a mechanic they were going to rebuild the engine, couldn't. Had it towed to another mechanic, he said he can't fix it.

I am disabled and cannot afford all these bills. I should have researched it before buying, but I didn't. I am young and didn't know. I have made seven payments now without being able to drive it. I am disgusted.

General Comments:

The car was beautiful inside and out.

The engine just wasn't.

Faults:

Engine blew 2 months after purchasing the car. Had no oil lights to come on. Kept a check on the oil, kept putting oil in the car. Cannot find an 2.7 engine that is priced reasonable. Had my engine rebuilt, but it still keeps jumping time.

General Comments:

I loved the car when I purchased it, now I'm wishing I never purchased it.

Everyone said buy American and this is what I got.
