"A bad motor vehicle"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The sensors went out.

The motor blew at 82,000 miles.

The back door lock is messed up.

General comments?

I had a 1998 Dodge Intrepid before this one. Same exact incident happened.

I have 2000 intrepid with 134000 mile. at 125000 the tyranny goes.2400$. 3 months later the kiss of death I think th oil light comes on. Well the mechanic checks it and says he can't find any specs on what the output should be. At start up its 80psi then quickly finds to 6-10 psi. At this point I'm into it for 600$ to tear the motor down for inspection. I tell him to go ahead and change it out just in case total 950$. I ask him how about the timing chain it has a hydraulic adjuster on it and I've heard stories of those going out. They say you don't need it. Bring car home and its running kind of funny I check the oil and I swear they, but 1/2 gear lube in it I mean thick oil. One day later there is a noise under the hood when it warmed up. Dealer know says that its the timing change!!! Well I was lucky they denied telling me I did not need it, but I had them document it in writing. Well the they replaced it for the cost of the tensioner and belt. now its 5 months later and the motor is starting to stutter and the engine light is on. Its back to the dealer. Honestly I love this care, but the reliability thing is killing me. Its rides great,I get 27mpg on the freeway but if it's another high dollar item I'm going to enter it in a demolition derby. At least no other sucker would get stuck with it!!!

I have a 2000 intrepid with over 300k, it is running fine. The key to it have the oil changed in time.

The damn car only has 80,000 miles on it and has had the oil changed on time each time.
