Dodge Intrepid ES
| | Model of the car: | Dodge Intrepid ES | | | General comments: | Bought this car new and have 91,000 miles on it. All options except sun roof, traction control,and leather. Special ordered from factory. Have had the following problems: ABS brakes repaired under warranty, one set of plug wires under warranty (three sets from AutoZone good they are life time warranty),recall on fuel and seat problems,one water pump,tie rod ends replaced,replaced plastic covers on "B" pillars one time need it again,gas cylinders need replacing on hood,front brakes one time, replaced seat mechanism drivers side (bought one from junk yard) broke due to floor mat being caught under it, the biggest disappointment I have had with this car is the paint peeling off the back doors, top, and quarter panels( Chrysler paid $300.00 of cost after serious hell raising). I have had this car serviced every 3,000 miles like clock work, all service at a Dodge dealership. I have spent a good deal on regular maintence. Most of the problems not under warranty has happened from 60,000 miles to present. Paint problem was in 2001. My wife has driven this car about 10,000 miles a year. It has the old 3.5 and is a very strong running motor. The car is a pleasure to drive and is very roomy. It has never had the spare tire on the ground. I am on the second set of tires now. I think, with the exception of the paint that the problems I have had are exceptable with a car having 91,000 miles and 9 years old. I have had no trans problems only a reprograming of shifting during regular maintenance. I am holding my beath (I have had the trans completely serviced 3 times and fluid changed several more times). The headlights are terrible from day one, very dim. I really can not believe they meet federal standards. I finally wired a relay into the high beam system so the fog lights also come on. This made a big differance in brightness. I also changed bulbs to a brighter type, really did't help. I really don't know if this has been a good car or not. I have love the car but it is time for a new something, I don't think I will by another Chrysler, but I don't know what it will be. So as a 9 year owner I think this car is about average, no beter, no worst. | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | head lights
