1995 Dodge Intrepid from North America - Comments

Not too long after I first got the car, the radiator was leaking.

Passenger window gets stuck once and a while.

Biggest problem is the car does not start all the time in the winter and nobody can figure out what the problem is.

Sometimes, in the morning, I can smell gasoline in the car.

Air condition stopped working this year at 96,000.

This car is very comfortable and drives nicely, when it starts.

I love the fact that it is so roomy.

Can anyone help me find out why it won't start in the winter?

Starts great in fall, spring, and summer.

Why don't you take it to a mechanic and find out what the problems is?

Or you could just fix the AC and move to Florida. Then you won't have to worry about winter starting problems!

I did take it to a mechanic, several times. They always think they have fixed the problem, but eventually it does it again.

Starting problem is usually Crank Shaft Sensor.

Try pushing the gas down when you try to start it I have one with the same problem. push it down half way to the floor and it should start right up.

My 95 Dodge Intrepid starts every time, but it takes at least two turns of the key to do it. Always. Kinda funny, just had it towed today because as I was driving, the cruise control light came on, the car started to lag tremendously, I pulled into a parking lot, and it stalled. It restarted, but chugged and would not keep running. I thought it was bad gasoline that I had just put in it about a half hour earlier, but my husband says no, so I was looking for troubleshooting ideas, that is what brought me here and found your comment. I love my spacious dodge intrepid... it is roomy, drives like a dream (once it starts) controls wonderfully and is the best car I have ever owned.

My suggestion for the starting/stalling problems would be to check the spark plugs and also try adding some fuel injector cleaner. My parents had a Mercury Sable (different car, but same problem as yours) that had a very hard time starting. The spark plugs had never been changed in 120,000 miles, and even though the computer kept it running, the plug electrodes were burned down to the porcelain. After changing plugs, and continuing to use fuel injection cleaner with every fill up, it ran great.

I have a 1995 dodge intrepid, I can start it almost everytime, but when I shift into reverse it dies. Sometimes I can shift into reverse and it will idle with no problem. Any idea what this could be?

I bought a 1995 Intrepid black cherry color 4 door sedan 18 days ago. Then I got on line and read your comments and now I want to know is there anyone out there who would like to buy my 95 Intrepid? I am the second owner the first owner bought the car when he was 64 years old so I'm sure he was not a Ricky racer. If interested my telephone number is 812-480-6785. I live in Evansville Indiana.
