Intrepid 2.7L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 104,800 miles

Living in So. AZ this is not too bad in winter as the car is fine during the day and at night I can wear a jacket. But the summer is fast approaching and this car would be an oven. fortunately the engine blew before I had this problem diagnosed or fixed. I guess I was lucky that the car began to fall apart little by little over a months time and by the time the engine blew it was easy to decide to junk it.

This forum is a great benefit to my nerves as I was in shock over this, the sudden and final demise and the questioning what did I miss, where did I go wrong. The guy who sold me the car last year may have known about this and I should have done my research but I was in a hurry and needed the car asap. The good thing again is that I did not spend any money on this car except for oil changes and gas. Thank you.

If I actually logged on everytime I had a complaint with this car, I would literally live logged in to this site. I live in AL and it's not cool here in the summer at all! After having the dealer tell me that I could not replace ONLY the corroded posts connecting to the NEW battery, my AC/Heater stopped working. I was told it was the control module and that I had to replace the AC/Heater. I just can't afford it, so I've driven all summer in AL without A/C! Now it's getting colder and I don't have heat. The air will not blow from the front vents. My car is always hot from the heat coming off the engine. I'm trying to hold on, but I'm going to lose it. I'm really NOT happy with this car. I have more complaints. I'll keep posting!
