You bought an older vehicle with high mileage.

What did you expect - showroom new?

General Comments:

I bought the car from my grandpa a year and a half ago. He kept current on the maintenance and had no major problems with the car since he bought it new. It's on its original transmition and original engine and it's almost at 200,000 miles. I've driven it for over 20,000 miles and have had very few problems with it. I drove it from Minnesota to Utah all in one sitting (22 hours) and didn't have a single problem. The car performed great. I would assume that at such a high mileage, the car would start to fall apart. Not so. The car performs like it was still new.

Driver's side inner tie rod

Engine had leak in main seal

Power windows slow going down, fast going up

Paint beginning to flake off of roof.

General Comments:

I really like this car, I just wish that initial quality was higher from Dodge. I like the cab-forward design that Chrysler has with their cars. If only companies would come together and build one solid car, Chrysler body design, GM drive train, and Ford... well, Ford is on it's own.

1995 Dodge Intrepid ES.

I have one. Best Dodge I ever owned. The drivetrain is intact; no problems. Have 170,000 miles on it. The only big price items I had to replace were the climate control and the drivers side seat frame and motors combo. but nothing lasts forever.

To the owners of 1995 Intrepids ES: change all the fluids as recommended. And follow other all other recommended checks and it'll go forever.

The other side is to treat it as hot rod, don't change the fluids as recommended and you'll have a piece of junk.

Also had a 1978 and 1993 truck; lasted forever.

Thanks.

Summary:

This is the best car I have ever owned!!!

Faults:

Passengers window is slow, hood shocks were replaced, a/c needs to be charged, but these are all VERY minor problems, and they don't make me think any less of my car.

General Comments:

My intrepid is the best car I have ever owned. it has never been unreliable in any way.

The power of the 3.5 is just crazy, and it rides like a cloud.

Everything about this car is exceptional, and I am surprised by the power, value, luxury, size, and beauty of the car every day.

Props to dodge on this one! she's a hot little number that turns heads if done up right.

Summary:

Comfortable and peppy, but has 0 reliability

Faults:

Transmission went out right after I purchased car, this was a $1800 repair. Car was great after that, then at about 99,000 miles check engine light is intermittently coming on and mechanic can find no reason for it. This issue has progressed and now it has an issue with overheating, many parts have been replaced to repair overheating problem to no avail. Overheating has finally progressed to the point that problem has been determined to be a leaking head gasket and on this engine it's a major repair.

General Comments:

Dodge needs to back up and build some reliability into their cars, they need to warranty the issues. They should explore customer service, customers should not have to deal with a run around over issues that should be fixed by dodge under warranty.
