2000 Chrysler Intrepid ES review from North America
"This model year was the worst product Chrysler created in decades"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The engine in this vehicle has had to be replaced TWICE.
The electrical system is intermittent in some areas and non-functioning in others.
The door mouldings in the rear are droopy and ill-fitting.
The steering rack was a problem within the first year.
The front struts have needed to be replaced twice, so far.
General comments?
This is, without a doubt, the worst vehicle I have ever owned - and I have owned many. I thought it would be as durable as the models preceding 2000, however my Intrepid has had more engines than tires! It has been a huge disappointment and my dealer has done nothing to ease my agony. Surely, a car manufacturer the size of Chrysler would see the good business sense in standing behind their products, even the "Edsels" they produce.
I have finally bought a REAL car. A BMW...
