2000 Dodge Intrepid Standard review from North America
"Great interior, horrible engine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My 2000 Dodge Intrepid has a 2.7L engine with about 63000 miles on it. Although the engine runs smoothly so far, I'm quite frightened and alarmed by the incredible number of blown engines.
Recently, my car's oil light seems to flash when my car is idle at a traffic light. However, when I accelerate, the light goes out. Even more strange is that it doesn't seem to happen right away. The car usually has to be driven for about 20 minutes before the oil light starts to flash. I have brought this car to numerous places trying to get the problem fixed with no success.
I'm a college student who needs a reliable ride to school everyday. Unfortunately, I believe I'm on my way to having the same problem as everyone else with a blown engine.
Does anyone recommend anything like an oil flush or oil pump replacement?
Also, can someone let me know how I can get in on this lawsuit?
Thank you!
General comments?
It's really a shame that such a beautiful car's image has been destroyed due to the 2.7L engine problems. Despite it's sleek, modern design; no one wants to bother with this car anymore because of the horrible 2.7L engine issue. After all, if the engine is bad, what good is it?
This car really gives you space, comfort and a terrific dynamic design not found in many other vehicles.
