2002 Dodge Intrepid Reviews - Page 6 of 12

A/C repair in Florida

Seat fabric sew.

Best car I have ever owned- broke it in the old fashioned way- use it 95% on the highway- run it hard- do regular service- get 30 plus mpg- inflate to 33 lbs on tires- have gone 60K miles- done regular trans and fuel injector service- driven motorcycles, tanks etc and heard horror stories this engine but have had absolutely no problems- in fact am in love with the car.

After only one month of buying the vehicle, the torque converter needed to be replaced. This was the first of 3 incidents that required the transmission to be worked on. The whole engine was just replaced a year age; it is not shot again. The mechanic says that the 2.7 engine is just not strong enough for such a large car. It will not stay running for an extended period of time. Out of the two years I have owned the car, It has been in the shop for over six months. Every 2-3 months something int he transmission, or the whole engine would go. With that engine, if the oil gets the slightest bit dirty, it causes the timing belt to malfunction- then the car is done.

The 2.7 engine was tragically ill-designed. It cannot sustain the car.

It is a money trap.

Dodge should do something to address these serious grievances with that model.

My head gasket blew, my O2 censer went out, I replaced the thermometer, some hoses.

This car is not worth the money I spent on it. I don't know why dodge isn't doing something to help the people it messed over by selling this car. people are more likely to recommend dodge to other people or buy again if dodge would show concern for it's buyer. This car has been nothing, but a hassle since I got it only 2 months ago. DON'T BUY THIS CAR!!1.

Just this year I have had water pump, thermostat & housing unit replaced.

Oil change because of the leakage of overheating.

Also now the oil light comes on when at a red light.

I have also had brakes and tires put on. The car needs calipers..

My main concern is the oil light; the oil is full. I am being told either oil sending unit going bad or oil pump.

Sometimes the car starts by itself.

The cooling system for the manuel transmission rotted out @ 135k and needed replacement at a reasonable cost.

Minor problem recent was brake lights staying on after the car was shut-off and alarm activated. Problem was a sticky brake pedal. 69 cents of WD40 solved the problem.

My wife uses our Intrepid, and due the the 100 miles per day traveling, follows the maintenance formula to the letter. She uses non-synthetic oil.

Engine blew up (failure). Had to have the car repossessed or pay an additional $5,000.00 for a new *used* motor! Do not buy a Dodge!!

Terrible. Never again a Chrysler product.
