My A/C evaporator has been hissing and Dodge says it was normal during my warranty period but now I find it was not the case and also about the odor that came with it. The driver side window stick in the up position but you never know when, boy I will tell you Dodge sure did pick the right name, even when they know there are these problems and even issued extended warranties for Intrepids 93-97 up to 7 years...meaning"??" A/C evaporators are suppose to last at least 7 years....well ours isnt lasting even 3 years!! worst car I have ever bought and it was not cheap.

problem #2

Intrepid

  • miles
Hissing noise from front right section of vehicle that repeats every 15-20 seconds while A/C is engaged. Fan is set on the lower 2 levels. Dealer believes it the opening/closing of a vacuum door, but has unable to correct in 4 visits which includes 2 tsbs (10/98 & 6/99). Noise is more prominent after car interior has cooled off from its hottest level or at night. But it does occurs at all times. This becomes quite annoying and stressful on longer trips.
