I purchased a used 1994 Dodge Intrepid with 69k on the odometer 18 months ago from a local school teacher. I've put 13K on this vehicle to date.
It appears that Chrysler engineering has not improved over the years. The people that buy Chrysler products must be accustomed to settling for less.
The transmission in this 3.3 Intrepid is garbage (torque convertor shudder and bump shifting).
I can't locate the source of all the rattles and the lack of sound deadener just seem to amplify them.
The air conditioning system that worked well last year must have leaked and needs a service.
The wiper blades (recently replaced) do a poor job contacting the windshield.
The power windows cycle with a jerky motion.
The hydraulic lifters clatter on cold startups and the engine coolant leaks from some unknown location.
I would trade this piece of crap in a minute for the worst GM vehicle I've ever owned and have more reliability.
I think that you don't take good care with your dodge. you have to baby it and do regular maintenance. I think you drive it like you don't care.
All of the comments on this car have been the same. I am glad I found this website as I was considering purchasing this car tomorrow and will not now. It is a "looker" but with all the problems relayed here... especially with the transmission.. then no way. If you look at all the recall bulletins on all-data it's like the whole car needed to be recalled! Thanks everyone who contributed their experiences of this car.
