2001 Dodge Intrepid SE review from North America
"Love My Intrepid wish they still made them"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No Major problems just regular maintenance.
I Have noticed some bad remarks with engine and transmission... FYI Mopar transmissions require special fluid do not take the car to just any mechanic. Engine needs to be internally cleaned to promote proper lubrication. Use full fuel system clean through authorized service station.
Other than that the battery is a huge pain to replace do to its location.
This car utilized fiber optics in some of the controls sometimes windows will not work from drivers window control.
General comments?
Awesome handling I live in colorado and can say this thing will not loose control. Good power I would recommend some upgrades.
Car came with terrible sound system paper conned speakers, and a tape deck (didn't know they still made tapes in 2000). But all said I would have replaced it no matter what.
Overall no problems, and I do feel for those of you who had bad luck.
