  Big mistake, never again - 2004 Dodge Intrepid
  By not happy - June 20 - 11:33 pm

  This car is barely over 100,000 miles, and I keep hearing once the intrepid gets too a 100,000 miles the car is done with, unless you want to keep putting more money into it. Recently had to replace the engine on it. Still not working right, its hot outside and cant even run the a/c without the car dying. Brakes are horrible, and the heater core has been replaced at least 3 times. I would never ever recommend a dodge intrepid to anyone. I wish i would have never bought this car. With all the problems these stupid cars are giving everyone, Dodge should give everyone thier money back, or give us a better reliable car. If your thinking about buying this car, DONT you will regret it

  Police Intrepid - 2004 Dodge Intrepid
  By renrut - June 19 - 6:28 pm

  I purchased this car a couple years ago at 139K from a state police auction. It was an unmarked car. Since then, I have racked up 51K miles and now have 190K on it, only having to replace tires, battery and brakes. Fun to drive.The 3.5 L Hi-output V6 is awesome! Edmunds and KBB need to include the police version on their sites as style choices.

  Bad choice/ waste of money - 2004 Dodge Intrepid
  By Southern32 - January 25 - 1:37 pm

  I purchased this vechile thinking I was getting my money worth, bad choice. I have spent much more $$ then its worth, problem after problem this car is always in and out of the shop. I wish I had just purchased and old car for cash. The transmission goes into 1st gear causing me to pull over, shut the car off and then re-starting it, nothing but a hassle. So ready to get raid of it.

  owned intrepids 5 years - 2004 Dodge Intrepid
  By Ray K - May 25 - 8:11 pm

  This is my 2nd intrepid, my son has the 1st one ,an 03 SE 2.7L engine with 100K miles. The 03 has had only 2 repairs totaling $450 (air cond line & ignition key swithc) besides brakes (which lasted a long time). Because of 03 reliability, I bought an 04 with low mileage. Have had 5 months with no problems. 2.7L engines do require frequent oil changes. I used Mobil 1 and the engine is whisper quiet with 100K miles (no other oil would produce these results). The new one is a 3.5L but I still use Mobil 1. These are great road cars but are hard to park & backup due to poor visibility. I obviously like them & will buy another one, even when they are 10 years old.

  I love my Intrepid - 2004 Dodge Intrepid
  By David Washburn - April 30 - 8:53 pm

  I have had my car for almost a year now. I got it with 82000 miles on it it just hit 90000 miles 2 days ago. I have yet had to do any major repairs that it actually has needed other then usually stuff. I love the comfort of the seats and how roomie the inside is. I really have no complaints of this car. Im fixing to deploy and whenever I get back I am going to throw some money into it to kinda make it my show car.

  do NOT buy this car. - 2004 Dodge Intrepid
  By drhr - April 7 - 3:24 pm

  This car was horrible from day one. A week after I brought it home the check engine light came on, and it would only start when it wanted to. I went to get it fixed, and it stopped doing it and ran perfectly fine for a year and a half. Then the battery died, the breaks went out, and the transmission started going out. Currently the car is in my driveway, unused because the transmission locked up the engine and the drive trane is disconnected from the drivers side. I will NEVER buy another dodge again. Its been terrible from day one.

  A new review at 50K - 2004 Dodge Intrepid
  By jeromeb - March 16 - 8:22 am

  The odometer crossed 50K as were were approaching home from a 2400 mile road trip. Interior design loses one point for no rear cup holders. Fuel Economy loses 1 point for being less than 30 mpg. It was 28 mpg. Other than that, the car is magnificent! Comfort, performance, handling, and all convenience systems were flawless. Its amazing what a bit of deliberate care and maintenance can do to keep a good car running well. Since this car was new Ive replaced one power window motor, two hood shocks and one water coolant manifold. Ive been using Mobil-1 5W-30 Extended Performance oil and K&N oil filters with 5000 mile change intervals.

  07 2.7l Dodge Intrepid - 2004 Dodge Intrepid
  By ld71 - March 13 - 3:13 pm

  I love my 04 intrepid but I am scared now because I have been hearing a lot of other owners have been having a lot of problems with their vehicle. I love the comfort and style of this car and really do not want to trade it but also do not want the engine to blow up on me. Any suggestions??
