1994 Dodge Intrepid review from North America
"Clean the bugs out and it's a super car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Air conditioner has some electrical problem, Plug it in underneath the car and the cars starts to run bad plus it has leaks. Needs repairing so right now I leave it unplugged.
Headlights were very dim on low beam and high beam. When you would hold the switch right before changing to high beam the lights would get bright. Really strange. Ended up replacing the bulbs with bright white xenon bulbs and now the switch doesn't do the same thing and the lights are much better.
Heater fan has started making a terrible noise since it got cold outside. Sounds like it hitting against something and then it goes away.
The drivers door lock and the trunk lock are not working. Thank goodness I can open the trunk from the glove compartment.
When I first got the car the transmission was acting up by shifting hard into 2nd gear, but after a good cleaning of filter and transmission fluid it has not had any problems for a year now.
General comments?
The car does have bugs that need ironing out, but I believe it is still a very nice car once the problems are fixed.
Being fully loaded, It is extremely comfortable and give a very pleasant ride with all its extra's and plenty of room.
I just love the drivers seat and the many positions it able to be in. I do wish the seat belt angle would be slightly away from the neck. I find myself tugging on some to keep it off my neck.
Has great pick up power and cruises right along. It is a real fun car to drive.
Great inside lights throughout the car and lots of nice detail's added for comfort.
Radio works super and sound system is very nice.
Exceptional heat. You don't get cold in this car.
