Faults:

About a month ago, I discovered when stopping at a red light after coming back from a 90 mile round trip drive at an average speed of abot 75, my oil light started to flicker. I did what most who have posted at this site done, is to stop and check the oil level. All was fine, so I proceeded to get under way. It would take me about 20 minutes to reach my destination and doing so, I didn't see the light flicker any more. But from that point until now it has gotten worst, but only at idle at complete stops. I've very recently had the oil sending unit replaced, but it didn't cure the problem. The mechanic said it was probably the oil pump. Now that I have read all of the complaints, I've very worried about my situation. I have a 2.7 liter V6 in this 2002 Intrepid, and it appears that this engine size is a manufacturers defect. So if there is a class action suit going on, please add me to the list.

I also have discovered that my thermostat housing gasket is leaking on this engine also.

Just prior to the 36000 mile warranty expired, I had the motor in the passenger front door window replaced.

About that same time I was told that the reason my engine warning light came on was due to a fouled fuel injector, so it was replaced.

I've alway been a Mo-par fan, but I never knew that the Intrepid had so many problems until I read these complaints. Good luck Intrepid owners.

It is hard to see when pulling into traffic due to the window shape. The radio and speakers are terrible (cheap system)

The driver's side power window came loose.

My wife and I have owned 3 Intrepids

(in Canada they are Chrysler Intrepids). Our first was a 1998 that we put 223,000 kms on, our second is a 2000 that we still have which has 165,000 kms and a 2002 that has 75,000 kms. As you can see we have put over 400,000 kms on these cars and have never had any major engine or transmission problems just normal maintenance items like brakes and tires. The cars are highway driven and have performed well under all conditions. These cars sit outside in winter when temperatures dip to -35 C and have never failed to start. They have also performed flawlessly in summer temperatures up to + 35 C. The 2.7 engine is one of the most impressive features of the car, 37 mpg and 200 hp from 165 cu. in. All three cars were low mileage lease buy backs at time of purchase (which saves a lot of money) and have given excellent value for our money, which is why we have bought three of them.

Nothing has gone wrong with the Dodge Intrepid.

This is a beautiful car that handles very well.

The only negative comment I have is that the high seat backs impede the view from behind when backing up.
