2004 Dodge Intrepid review from North America
"I've never seen a car so young, yet so old"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well, let's see.
Head gasket, dash lamps, transmission, and so many other electrical switches. I have at least 17 repair bills on this car alone.
General comments?
Please know one thing, I am a car salesman and I do not own this car (demo). I drive it, but not own it.
I like it. Flat out, I really like this car.
You may ask me why because of the numerous bills and problems this car has had in the last 2000 miles. Mostly it's because I like they way it looks inside and out. That's it. Since I didn't have to pay for the repairs (covered by our Dodge dealership and warranty) I still like the car.
Now, if I were to own this car I think the entire tone of the review would change. This car has at least $3500 of work (if not covered by warranty) sunk into it already and it only has 24K on the clock as of now. I have never seen a car with so few miles have so many problems.
This car would be considered a lemon to me if I was the only instance I've seen. But after personally dealing with over 20 unhappy customers with the Intrepid, I no longer can sell it because of my own guilty conscience. I have to say that even though I work for Dodge as a salesman, I still think this has to be one of the worst cars produced in a very long while. It boggles me to think that there is a car that has been so terrible and yet produced for so many years. At least fix the problems!
Anyway, in short, don't buy one. From me or from anyone else!
