2000 Dodge Intrepid 2.7

Summary:

My opinion the 2.7 engine could have been better built. They don't last long enough

Faults:

When I bought the car I had to replace the transmission bearing on the driver side. I also replaced the EGR valve in 2006 to pass the emission test.

Now the car has 232,000 km; very loud knocking noise after warm up on idle. It goes away while driving or higher rpm.

The garage saying it's the engine needs to be rebuilt and a bad lifter.

General Comments:

I like the car. It handles very nice, and I love the ride.

The 2.7 engine was quick, with good response.

The car has a sporty look.

I also like the seats; very comfortable for me.

2000 Dodge Intrepid ES 3.2L

Summary:

It is a lemon

Faults:

My speedometer stopped working a couple of months after I bought the car.

Window was off track.

Car would cut off every time I made a right turn.

Then engine began to knock a year after I purchased it.

General Comments:

This car was a lemon from the beginning. Unfortunately, I did not have a warranty, because the dealership said they needed $1,200 cash. I didn't have it, but I thought because it was only at 42,000 miles, that it would last at LEAST a year. I was working two jobs and going to school, I explained my situation to the salesman, and that's why he chose the Intrepid for me.

Ever since I bought this car I have majorly regretted it. As a result, my car has been sitting since July 07, due to engine damage. I maintained the oil changes and other maintenance issues in a timely manner.

Can someone please send me info on the class action suit, I would like to be a part of it. My email is Crystalf25@gmail.com

Someone Please Help!!

2000 Dodge Intrepid 2.7 Liter

Faults:

Had to replace brake pads and rotors.

Had to get new tires twice. Once all 4, and the other time just the front 2 because of a small leak in the tires.

Front drivers side window comes out of its track every time it is rolled down.

Rubber seals around the doors to stop noise and keep dust and rain out, don't stay tight and fall down often.

The electric motor to open the trunk doesn't work, so you can't use the button on the remote or in the car to open the trunk. And sometimes the trunk won't open with the key either.

General Comments:

It has been a good car for us over all till recently.

We have had the car for 7 years now, and all we have done to it so far is new tires, brake pads and rotors, and a new battery. So not too much work had to be done to it besides the normal tune up stuff.
