2000 Dodge Intrepid SE review from North America
"A (REAL) 2000 Intrepid Review!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Sensor went out at about 17,000 warranty covered it. Alternator went out at 37,000, dealer only charged $100 for repair. Weather stripping around all 4 doors started coming lose at about 60,000, just mash back in place every 2 months or so.
General comments?
I bought this new & have changed oil & filter every 3,000 miles. Air filter every 15,000. Differential fluid every 30,000 miles. Transmission fluid & filter & also fuel filter at 50,000. Have done all maintenance needed myself to assure quality work. It STILL has the original ceramic brake pads on it at 74,400 & STILL not ready for new ones WOW. So far it's been real good to me & my family. I wrote this in response to all the (probably) fake reviews by people who turn the key EVERY day without EVER doing any maintenance & expect it to just keep going & going forever with no malfunctions EVER. There are a million parts, wires, sensors, gadgets, & what not in cars so surely you expect something to go wrong at some time right people? Not even a BMW is PERFECT! I am not Dodge bias, I'm just giving you real facts on a real review. Great car so far.
