2000 Chrysler Intrepid review from North America

I own a 2000 Chrysler Intrepid, and at less than 62,000 km the timing guide broke, which caused the chain to do damage to head valve, and pistons.

The repairs cost me $1995.00 because the dealership claimed that Chrysler was covering the parts and they covered some labor. I went without a vehicle for 2 weeks, then it went back in because the rpm was going up and down as I drove and when I started it. Also, they forgot to hook the air conditioner back up.

They sent a piston to be machined, but that didn't work, so they claim they put a new piston in, because it was too damaged. Another week without a car.

Now the motor is ticking, and they tell me it's because the oil is black. They changed my oil 1600 km ago!

I've had, windows repaired twice (and they're still not working right), weatherstripping replaced because it shrunk... I can't even remember half of the things that went wrong with it. There's just too much.

Never will I purchase a Chrysler again! Not only do they not stand behind their vehicles, but they also just don't care. Yes, if there is a class action lawsuit out there, I'd like to know about it.

The only thing nice about this car is the space.

The mechanics at the dealership themselves have told me that they have seen a lot of these Intrepid cars come in with the same problems. I have to go get my car at the dealership again now. I'm sure something else will gone wrong with it within a week. I'm at the point now where I wait to bring it in just so I can get to work and back for a while, without having to put out too many taxi payments. It sure adds up. I hate this car!
