Dodge Intrepid Es
| | Model of the car: | Dodge Intrepid Es | | | General comments: | In may of 1997, my husband and i were in search of a nice full sized car for afamily of five.we found a sharp black and gray intrepid .We had looked at these cars for about 6 months before trading in our teal green saturn s2.the intrepid had 22,ooo miles on it and no warranty left because of the 3 year mark or 36,ooo.Big mistake!A month after buying this car we thought we'd go to chicago for the weekend and coming into chicago on the busy exspressway the transmission would not go out of first gear.we could have been killed with our children inthe car.LUCKILY WE DROVE IT HOME HAVING TO STOP AND TURN THE CAR OFF TO REBOOT THE TRANSMISSION TO GET OUT OF FIRST GEAR.WE WERE 245 MILES FROM HOME.TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE THE CAR HAD A FLAT TIRE PULLING IN THE DRIVE.THE CARS AIR SYSTEM DIDNT WORK THE FIRST YEAR IN A HALF.THEY JUST FILLED IT UP WILL FREON AND SOLD IT.LUCKILY i STOOD MY GROUND AND DIDNT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER .we also had all of the trans hoses replace after the rebuilt transmission.I haad a new compressor,condensor,evaporative coil.chrysler doesnt want to admit that if there evaporator coil goes bsd,it can make your condensor and compressor lock up.By the way i was charged 680.00 for the compressor,which chrysler later reimbursed me for admitting they shoulnt of charged me for it.as for the trans problems we paid 50.00 deductible,which may not seem like a big deal ,but the stress this car has caused my husband and i does not have a price.not to long ago at 60,000 mile our rotors and brake were shot .we had to replace the tie rods also .final price tag 720.00.our car now has 76,000 miles,it's hard to believe that's all with so many major problems.I really feel for people who are buying the newer dodge anything.As soon as you drive away the nightmare is yours.We once had someone ask us if we new what dodge meant in the dictionary?to move or run away from sadly he was right.so right! | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | not reliable,poor service,dangerous,all around weak product,no accountability from chrysler .I give chrysler a zero rating |
