The head cracked and had to have a valve job that cost $1300 dollars.
The computer had to be replaced and the coil pack which was $700 and still didn't fix the problem. The car has been to the dealership five times and it still dies going down the road and will not restart. They cannot find the problem.
Stay away from Dodges!
DON'T STAY AWAY FROM DODGES!!!! I'm sorry to say this, but 120,000 miles is HUGE, and to say that after that many miles on a car that the entire company is a terrible company just because of your car's problems is extremely unfair. I have always found Dodge to be extremely reliable. Perhaps the dealer you got it from wasn't so honest, maybe your problems are because of the last owner?
Yes, it IS a good idea to avoid Dodges with more than 25k miles on them. I'm currently working a similar problem with a 1997 Intrepid that quit and won't start. This car has a record several pages long with our dealership. Water pump replaced 4 times, timing belt replaced 3 times, engine replaced once at 86k miles, tie rod ends/ball joints replaced at 93k miles, rack and pinion steering unit replaced twice, 1 radiator and a partridge in a pear tree. This particular model has the 3.5L engine. If you have the 2.7L engine, you have my deepest sympathies.
You guys probably bought lemons because have a 1996 dodge intrepid 3.3l and it has 207,503 miles and still runs like brand new plus I got it new. and yes people it is on it's first engine and transmission and have never been rebuilt. i have always taken good care of the car and it paid off. and IT IS VERY FAST!. in the future I plan on getting another 96 intrepid, concorde, or vision.
