WE HAVE DONE REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON THIS RELIGIOUSLY. *AK THIS LAST TIME, IT WAS MAKING A KNOCKING SOUND AND BARELY MADE IT INTO MY DRIVEWAY. UPON GETTING IT TO MY MECHANIC, WAS TOLD THAT THE WATER PUMP AND FUEL PUMP WERE BOTH GOING OUT AND THAT THE HEAD GASKET WAS TOAST, AND THAT THEY WOULD NOT WORK ON IT BECAUSE THE ENGINES ARE NOTORIOUSLY BAD AND NOT WORTH IT. SLUDGE BUILD UP WAS ALSO PRESENT. ENGINE IS NOW BLOWN, AND WE STILL OWE MONEY ON THIS THING!

EVERY OWNER OF A NEWER MODEL DODGE INTREPID THAT I HAVE SPOKEN TO HAS PROBLEMS WITH THE POWER WINDOW ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. SEVERAL OF THESE INTREPID OWERS HAD TO PAY SEVERAL HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED AND I THINK IT IS A MANUFATURER'S DEFECT AND THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR A RECALL.*AK
