The first thing to go wrong with it was the voltage regulator; when the car reached a certain temperature, it just shut down the entire electrical system in the car.
The second thing was the air compressor. After that was the engine where a rocker arm had broke and it is when I learned that it was a common problem with that particular engine. When I replaced the engine, radiator and the compressor, the AC still didn't work properly and that's when I was told the J-tube was clogged.
I loved the performance of the car and the design.
It was just problem after problem that led me to trade it away.
As far as I know, the 3.2 or 3.5 engines never had problems like that... If it was the 2.7 I would be more inclined to believe you...
My 2003 Intrepid SXT has been a great car for 10000 miles. Bought new and wouldn't start, new computer installed and has been great.
21 mpg in town driving and near 30 mpg highway.
Recently the engine light comes on. Replaced parts in transmission with no results as it down shifts to a low gear while driving even at high way speeds, rebuilt transmission and still the same problem. Mechanics are stumped. Would like help on problem. Would like to find the problem, as I plan on using the car for quite a while, and I like to drive it.
