Great ride, roomy family sedan, but lousy reliability and dodgy (no pun intended) service excuses

1999 Dodge Intrepid review from North America

"The car is very comfortable, but high maintenance"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

My 1999 Dodge Intrepid was fine at first, but about one month after I had it, it started ticking just a little. So I checked the oil and it was about a quart low. It continued to do this about once a month and I couldn't for the life of me figure out where the oil was going. Then about 4 month's later, (1 month ago today) i was driving home from a friends house, and apparently the crank and cam sensor went out at the same time. So I got them fixed the next day from the used car lot, anyway, a couple of day's later I was about 1 1/2 miles from home and all of a sudden, it sounded like someone was beating on my engine with a hammer. The next day it was a tick. I ended up replacing 2 collapsed lifters, and then found out I threw a bearing on the crank. And by the way you can't just drop the oil pan. So I'm getting that fixed as we speak.I'm not one of those people that can just go to the garage at every little sound. I understand from a lot of articles I've read at this site that dodge won't fix these problems.I've also got news that dodge has ended the intrepid line this year. The Dodge 2.7 is designed by Mitsubishi.I'm not saying anything, but I would be weary.

General comments?

The car is very comfortable and roomy. I really don't have any complaints except for the Dodge 2.7 liter engine.
