2001 Dodge Intrepid ES review from North America
"Looked good at first, but now stuck with it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
First problems at only 13000 miles.
Water in oil.
Rocker\lifter broken in left head.
Broken lifter opened a hole in the head.
Over heating problems.
Cracked head gaskets.
Leaking radiator.
General comments?
Oil changed every 3000 miles.
Preventative maintenance always done.
Dealer stated hasn't been "repaired"enough to qualify as lemon.
Warranty now expired all repair costs my own. imagine that..
Outside mechanic now states that probably half of what the dealer said was repaired never was.
