2000 Dodge Intrepid 2.7

Faults:

I purchased the car in July with only 29000 miles. The car seemed to be in excellent condition and was very clean inside and out.

November hits and my oil light keeps flickering on. Being a single Mom who puts safety first, I immediately take it to my local garage to see what's wrong. The oil pump is shot, there is "sludge" everywhere, the tensioner chain needs to be replaced, and many more. All together totaling over $1300.00. What a very unwanted bill to receive right before Christmas for a single Mom. So what do I tell my child "no presents this year because my car is a piece of junk!" Not likely to go over well.

I've always been impressed with their vehicles, but after this I will never buy a Dodge or a Chrysler again. I don't expect this type of problem out of a car with only 34000 miles. Buyers beware of this model!

Sounds like my 2.7 Intrepid problems. Nice car, but very unreliable.

2000 Dodge Intrepid RT

Summary:

Lots of car for the money

Faults:

Nothing.

General Comments:

The car is roomy and comfortable enough for myself and my fiance, who's a big man.

It's incredibly fast with quick pick up to maneuver in traffic.

I love the look of my car, it's sporty and sleek, and I've had many comments from strangers in parking lots about what a good looking car it is.

Summary:

A bad deal

Faults:

The only major thing wrong with this intrepid has been the engine threw a rod at 82000. Had to have the engine replaced in order to keep this car.

2000 Dodge Intrepid SE 3.2

Summary:

Great Car for the price

Faults:

Front End is not as tight as I would like it to be, but after 8,500 I guess is to be expected.

General Comments:

In general I would say I love the looks and comfort. It has plenty of power and good gas mileage. Again I am a little disappointed in the ride and feel of the steering, but my previous car was a Cadillac De ville.

I bought this car from a private owner on E-Bay and am very satisfied.

2000 Dodge Intrepid 2.7

Summary:

Worst buy ever

Faults:

My engine is knocking.

My engine also has oil sludge.

It is hesitating and the oil light is coming on when it gets warmed up.

Steering is a real problem.

General Comments:

There are horrible problems with this car.

It runs like a gokart.

It has engine problems and chrysler knows about them and will do nothing about it. The oil gets to hot and therefore causes the engine to blow.

2000 Dodge Intrepid ES 2.7

Summary:

Biggest banana from the US (Canada)

Faults:

- Oil pan/gaskets/seal changes 2 times!! (lucky was still in first 3 warranty months)

- Battery broken

- Engine shakes at start sometimes

- Since a couple of weeks engine starts to burn oil.

This all within 6months!!!

General Comments:

Nice car space is very good, but this is the biggest banana I ever bought. I have never been so often in a service station as with this car. Good that they serve donuts and coffee over there though. I think I will take the offer from the used car sales manager to get 6000$ back from the 8000$ which I invested. Following Chrysler this oil usage is normal for an engine >50kmiles.

After reading this stuff--->lets get the H... out of here.

2000 Dodge Intrepid SE 2.7

Summary:

Never again

Faults:

My engine blew at 64,500 miles, when I only had the car for 6 months and had a oil change 3 weeks prior to this happening.

General Comments:

I cannot believe an engine can go in a short period of time. During the 6 months it was running I had 2 oil changes. My car went without any warning. My warranty declined the repairs stating its my fault and it didn't have oil in the engine. Despite I had proof of my receipts, warranty company still said no. so I got a lawyer, but I'm still responsible for payments. This is crazy!
