2001 Dodge Intrepid SE review from North America
"Bring Iacocca back"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Two problems to date first the right front wheel bearing blew at 30000 miles.. warranty picked it up. second problem the oil light was coming on at idle, took it to the dealer and they told me it was the oil pump. luckily I purchased the extended warranty as I'm good on it till 75000mi..presently I have 62000miles on it now. oil light not coming on anymore. without the warranty it would have cost me 1200.00 bucks, but only shelled out the hundred dollar deductible. PHEW!!!
General comments?
After reading the horror stories people are having from the 2.7 liter motors I wonder how much longer I have with this one. I love the cars look and ride and was hoping to keep it a few more years, but after the warranty runs out I'm debating on weather to keep it or not.. I mean lets face it.. at this day and age a well maintained motor should last around 200,000 miles...RIGHT!!!DODGE???
