2000 Dodge Intrepid ES review from North America
"One big lemon!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
00' Intrepid 2.7L w/58k engine failure.
It jumped time or wasn't getting any oil (the oil light never came on).We are still looking at the motor to determine. I have had no luck finding a new motor. The local dealership told me that they didn't make these motors anymore, that I could get the block, but have to use my old parts ($3600) or by a used motor ($5500) if we could find one. I have contacted Chrysler, and had the pleasure of dealing with one of there customer service representatives who gave me no useful information about the motor.
After reading reviews from other consumers of Chrysler products, I found that engine failure is common in this type of motor at low mileage. I was curious as to what my options might be.
I posted my complaint on this wonderful website, and got a response the next day with very helpful information. Thanks to this website I have registered my name for a class action law suit.
General comments?
After my experience, and reviews of the Intrepid 2.7L I WOULD NOT recommend this vehicle to anyone. She's a lemon!!!
