2003 Dodge Intrepid SE review from North America
"Nice car - just a lemon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After owning the vehicle for two days, the engine caught on fire.
General comments?
There was smoke in the car during the test-drive. I returned the car to the salesperson, who kept the car for two days to review the car with their mechanics. After the two days, the salesperson called me back to say that they did not find anything wrong with the car. They thought that since the air-conditioner was on and put on the heat it caused condensation on the engine to make it smoke. I purchased the car on a Wednesday, November 12th and the car caught on fire on Friday, November 14th. The dealership took the car back and today they told me that they could not find anything wrong with the car. Since I purchased the car, the car is mine. I cannot get back into a vehicle that caught fire and they cannot find anything wrong with it. Otherwise, I love the car. It is roomy, it rides nice. I don't know what to do with it now!!!
