2000 Chrysler Intrepid review from North America
"Has been good to me. Still going"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front wheel bearings have needed replacing.
In the past couple of years following about 2 tanks of gas an oil top up is needed. Not showing a bad emsissions test though, so it must have a slow leak out when driving.
Trunk key chamber has seized twice and needed replacing.
General comments?
It is still running well. I bought at one year old in 2001 with 25,000 KM on the engine. No problems with the engine or transmission as yet at 230,000 km. I have heard the 2.7 L can be trouble, but no problems here. I must be lucky. Body is holding up OK for a car that is almost 8 years old. Just a few minor rust spots. Windows ice shut easily in the winter on this car, and can be annoying if you do drive through coffee first thing in the morning and you live in Canada. Huge interior and trunk space has been a great plus. I am pleased with this car.
