2001 Dodge Intrepid SE review from North America
"Fun car to drive."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The tranny went out and was replaced with a new one at 90,000 miles.
The only thing neg I have to say about this car was the tranny.
With all of the 2.7L engines going bad i'd say if you want an intrepid, stay away from the 2.7L engine and get one with a 3.2 or 3.5L.
General comments?
I had no issues at all with the 2.7L engine.
I kept the oil changed at the dealership until it was out of the warranty at 75,000 at which I changed it myself every 4,000-5,000 miles with Mobil 1 synthetic/pure one oil filter.
This engine ran smooth from the day I drove it off the lot with 6 miles till the night it was totaled with 125,000 miles.
I have replaced this car with a 2001 ES loaded Intrepid 3.2L engine, and it's even better with all of the options.
