2000 Dodge Intrepid ES review from North America
"Piece of junk... and I am being nice when I say this.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Since I have had the car, many things have gone wrong.
First... has anyone had problems with the car when it is hot outside? My A.C. will not work, windows will not roll down, and the air bag light comes on and I hear a bell noise. When it is not so hot... everything works fine.
Next... the seals are shrinking. I had to make a cut in the lower part of the seals and put them back on so they would stay on. Now all the seals have a 2 inch gap in them.
I had to replace the engine also, costing me almost 4,000, and have had many brake and front end problems.
It is a shame that a car can ride so good, but be mechanically a piece of junk... Dodge should be ashamed to put out such a trashy car. They should be shunned by the automotive community and sanctioned by the government. The owner should also be compensated for all the expense we had to endure...
General comments?
Dodge should be ashamed to put out such a trashy car.
