1994 Dodge Intrepid ES from North America - Comments

This is bobby48735@excite.com. I recieved an email today about my 94 intrepid. For the record am a Ford person, I am a Ford SHO hobbiest. The email pertained to the A/C system. First off there are no "filters" (offically orifices) in this car. There are a set of valves near the firewall. These rarely fail, and the seals along with the charge points, are mounted to the compressor itself. I do recommend that a A/c system be serviced my trained personel only, it can be dangerous or you could simply destory your air conditioning if incorrectly charged. Anyway, if you remove the hex bolt the whole fitting pulls out and the O-ring is clear to replace. Good luck!

I own a 94 dodge intrepid it shuts off on me and at times it won't shift, I'd like to thank bobby for his help I'll try these and let you now if it worked.

I would also like to thank Bobby for his comments, because I just recently bought a 94 Intrepid es and everyone was terrifying me with what they had to say about them. I would have to agree, it does sound like most of you are being ripped off by your mechanics. I had a mechanic who ripped me off for the past 3 years and trust me he will never ever see my Intrepid. I thank you all for your input and hope I don't go through the pain and suffering you all have been through.

I do have one question... I own a '94 base 3.3L Intrepid with almost 300,000 miles. It does need a rack & pinion because the right side where the tie rod connects to the rack is shot due to neglect from a "faithful" friend. Anyway, I have a used rack and pinion from a '93 Intrepid I bought in Oklahoma. The guy said the system will work with my car. I went to an advance auto in Indiana (I drove the car from Oklahoma to Indiana on a busted rack & pinion) and they said my used rack WILL NOT WORK because my car has speed-proportional rack & pinion. Which is true?? Does the used rack work for my car or not??

Hey to whom it may concern, I bought a 1994 Dodge Intrepid SE.

It's like they say, never buy a car made on Monday or Friday. I am second owner of my car and it was taken care of very well. I like the car and have had nothing but good luck with it.

Like the man said, you can get a good one, which I did, and I love the car; have had it a while and it runs good.

Beats driving an import; I have driven all kinds of them and they are not reliable - they rust out from under; Toyota, Honda, Lexus, Acura, Mits, and Nissan are all the same, they all rust out from under you.

It is nice to have a car that doesn't let you down. I love my Dodge; I have had many Dodges and always will.

All I can say is good luck with your so called tuners or imports, I hope you enjoy putting a lot of money known as foreign. I will always buy American. My Intrepid runs strong and I enjoy driving it, it has real class.

Piece of crap car, get your check book ready

I own a 1994 Dodge Intrepid. This is only my second car I have ever owned! I love it so much! I baby it and I am very attached to it. I have owned it since I was 16 going on 17. I am now 19 and the only problem I have had with it was my right ball joint went out. Until now... just last week it started acting up on me. It would shift excessively and it would shift hard. Then my gas gauge wouldn't go up, I would have to shut off my car and turn it back on, then it would move.

I ran some errands earlier today and it ran fine. Went home for a couple hours, then I had to run to the bank. Got in my car, started her up and let her sit for a few minutes, then took off. None of my gauges would go up and my gear lights wouldn't light up. Was driving down the road and it wouldn't shift.

I have no clue what's wrong with her and I would really like some advice or help. I baby this car and I don't want to get rid of her. Keep in mind that I am only 19 years old, living on my own and not making a whole lot of money. Any suggestions will be appreciated!
