2000 Dodge Intrepid review from North America

"Beautiful car, but smells like a lemon to me!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Car had 20,000 miles on it, was having problems starting, was told by a Dodge dealership that the car needed a tune-up. Had tune-up done and problem still continued. Was told by another mechanic that I had a bad fuel injector. Took back to dealership and told them that and they didn't believe me, they kept the car for 2 days and still could not find out what was wrong with it. This went on for 10 months before dealership finally admitted that it was indeed a fuel injector and replaced it for free.

Now at 66,000 miles, engine is gone. I was told by dealership that it would cost approx. $6,000 to replace with new engine. Dealership told me engine went do the insufficient lubrication. I was told by dealership that I did not need to use synthetic oil, that 5w or 10w oil was good enough.

Weather stripping is coming off, has been fixed 3 times by dealership.

Interior reading light went out, does not say in owners manual how to change. Break light went out does not say in manual how to change. I was told by dealership to bring in and they would change for a fee.

General comments?

I bought the car brand new. I fell in love with it during the test drive. You couldn't even hear the engine running. The car drives and handles very nice. It is very roomy.

Dodge knows this engine is bad, that's why they stopped making due to all the problems with it per the dealership. They were too quick to help me in any way get in a new car. They were even willing to trade the car in and pay it off even though the motor is blown. Something isn't right and Dodge knows it. We need some help here!!!
