1995 Dodge Intrepid Reviews - Page 2 of 15

One week within the first 3 years of the purchase the car kept stalling randomly. A flash of the computer system fixed it right away.

Fuel pump shot at 80,000km and again at 120,000 but possibly because we bought a cheap one at the time, short on funds.

Fuel gauge seems to stick when the tank is at 1/2 tank and then when it's at 1/8th left it works again.

Excellent handling.

In 13 years were only just having to replace major parts.

If you like the sports type of car, the sport version has a great feel for the road while driving.

It's a little bit slow at gaining speed while traveling 60+ kph, i.e. changing from 80 to 100kph when changing lanes on a highway does take more time then you hope for.

13 years and were only JUST starting to see rust.

It's been a very good running car for all these years, it's definitely worth putting the $2,000 into to fix it up to good working order. Mainly replacing the original manufacturer parts.

Replaced both front bearings (easy to do!).

Replaced both front tie rods/ends.

Replaced both trailing arms.

Replaced both ball joints.

Replaced front and rear brakes.

Replaced front axle (same one, twice).

Struts are in need of replacing.

I love this car. I have towed my boat and all my camping supplies all over the state of Minnesota.

I also had it raised 2 inches and I put chains on the front tires when I go hunting. It goes through any mud puddle I have thrown at it. It was my fault when I broke the rear trailing arms. The stock ones have holes in them (for some unknown reason)that make them weak. I even went through water so high it came inside the car and it kept on trucking. It also gets me through all the snow I can handle. I like to call it my truck.

It is an easy car to work on.

When I got it it had very little or no rust on it. Now the bottoms of the side panels have rusted, completely away. The paint is also chipping in various places.

Its silly that they would make door seals that "shrink" after a few years, but that's what they do. The pasanger air bag panel has also warped.

I put a huge car stereo in this vehicle and the electrical system held up like a spartan, but never died.

My oil dipstick broke off the first time I checked the oil. My friend also had this problem with his 96' intrepid. I guess its from the heat/crappy composite material.

The engine is top notch and burns no oil. I over heated it once when my thermostat when bad. This caused a leak in my radiator. I used some preston radiator stop leak and it has not leaked since (2 years).

The only thing that has gone wrong with this car is the starter after ten years.

This is actually the best car I have ever had. I have read about all the problems everyone is having and I have never experienced that. Only recently have I had a starter problem and I am about to replace that myself. I would expect something to start wearing out between 1995 and 2007. I had a 1992 New Yorker and it had some problems.

The Intrepid was my first car, and it was a great buy. Had it for two years and bought it for $3180. I had one major problem which I see others had mentioned it and that was smelling gas in the car. Which turns out something had cracked in the exhaust system and was leaking exhausts into the car, didn’t fix it until had to drive with the windows down. Costs me about $300 for the fix. Other small problems like rattling in the doors, and the rear window creaks on hot days. Never have had problems with it starting. And some of the paint on the back were the back door meets up with the black metal piece that’s agents the rear window is coming off.

Other than those minor bugs I have loved it. The car offers a decent amount of power out of the 3.3 v6. The exterior paint and all the interior has held up very well considering it’s an 11 almost 12 year old car.

Like one of the other reviews say, “Take care of it and it will take care of you.”
