"This car is Serious Junk! Don't buy!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The oil pump is bad.

The timing chain is bad.

The engine lights never worked.

The engine blew at 92,000 miles.

General comments?

My mechanic told me it would be around $4000 to fix - rebuild the engine.

He also told me that this is a problem he sees regularly with the 2.7L engine.

Chrysler blames the problem on poor maintenance, however, their shop took care of all maintenance.

Many Many Many other Intrepid owners have the same problem.

Yes I agree with you very much. I bought an 99 Intrepid and sold it. It has 100,000 miles and the engine has started to knock. It is an apparent valve problem that will cost $3000.00 Canadian to fix. I just hate Chrysler. It should have closed up in the 80s when it was hit finacial trouble.
