  Solid car, good value for the money - 1995 Dodge Intrepid
  By Wayne - January 19 - 1:28 pm

  Bought it used with 40,000 miles, now has 150,000. 3.5 liter engine. The water pump and timing belt needs replacement every 70,000 or so. Tie rod ends last about 5 years. Its a solid car, nothing fancy in terms of creature comforts, but dependable. I keep track of repair costs and it averages about 1.2 cents per mile driven, much better than 2.4 and 2.8 for my two Bonnevilles. It needs to warm up a while before driving in our cold winters. Daughter has it at college, and still is dependable.

  Good car - 1995 Dodge Intrepid
  By Wayne - September 8 - 12:34 pm

  It has a very strong 3.5 liter, 24 valve engine. Problems we have encountered are the water pump goes out at 70,000 miles, according to the mechanic who says he fixes about 4 a week. If you are lucky, the pulley seizing on the pump will shred the timing belt and kill the engine immediately, otherwise, the engine will overheat and warp the heads, increasing the cost from $700 to $2800. Some sort of bolt on the steering mechanism has stripped a couple of times, needing the front end to be dropped down to replace, which has been spendy.

  Lemon - 1995 Dodge Intrepid
  By Kelly - March 17 - 4:26 pm

  As soon as I got it, the transmission started to slip. I had to replace that once it just wouldnt go anymore. Then, there was a consistent problem with tie rods and wheel bearings. Ive replaced them three times. Its unreal. They are bad again, and now theres a fuel leak, but Im just going to drive it until I cant anymore. That cars almost ready to be put to rest though, it has around 150,000 miles now. The transmission is also starting to slip again. At times I just hated this car, but then again, I loved it. Its very nice and roomy, and for the most part, reliable. It always started fine, my only problems were transmission, and those stupid tie rods.

  Pretty Good Car - 1995 Dodge Intrepid
  By Shane - October 6 - 2:25 pm

  I have known owned it for a year and a half, bought with 77000miles, transmission stop shifting at 78000 miles, and it was replaced with a used one what a mistake that was. Shifts good most of the time, leaks fluid, shifts hard when fluid is full. The 3.5 gets about 16MPG in the city, and 27 on the highway. Good car over all, except the transmission.

  ehhh - 1995 Dodge Intrepid
  By evie - July 19 - 12:16 am

  I purchased this vehicle with about 90,000 from my Aunt and Uncle who always kept up with the maintenance on this car and had no problems, because the problems were waiting for me. I have had the vehicle for 3 years and I replaced the struts (which my aunt and uncle had already done), brakes, rotors, tie rods, water pump, hood hydraulics just dont work, serpentine belt 3 times and the tensioner pulley. And then there is the AC, the vents up by my windshield blew out that hottest heat ever all the time full blast and would not stop! Of course I couldnt afford to fix it right away so I just had to drive around all sweaty until I shelled out $750.

  The good outweigh the bad - 1995 Dodge Intrepid
  By ghbatb - November 8 - 2:55 pm

  I purchased my Intrepid about 3 years ago with 65,000 miles and have been pretty satisfied. I now have 112,000 and have had to replace fuel pump and tie end rods but pretty much normal maintenance things. Lots of power and comfort, good ride. AC still works great and electric windows as well with no problems. The only thing I have not been happy with is the rubber around windows keep popping off, the paint on top (clear coat) is peeling and looks tacky, and the hood will not stay up.Also problems with headlight lenses condensating. Otherwise been happy with.Plan on purchasing a newer model, but still want to keep this one for husband.

  Looks Flashy...but the Powertrain Isnt - 1995 Dodge Intrepid
  By Flyingcessnas - July 8 - 2:00 am

  I purchased this car a little over 7 months ago. The first 2 months with it were great, however then things started to fall apart. In the last 8,000 miles, the transmission, water- pump, A/C, keyless entry module, shocks and tie rods went out. I have never had a car fall apart so fast on me. And the sad thing is, I actually take my car in for rutine maintenance. You would never guess. So if your going to buy this car used MAKE SURE you have a mechanic check it out and run a scan tool on the engine and transmission, otherwise you might end up screwed just like I have been. This really isnt the best car to buy used.

  Good, Reliable Vehicle - 1995 Dodge Intrepid
  By jilliebean - May 14 - 2:00 am

  We have had few problems with our Intrepid in the five years weve owned it. However, it does seem to chew through brakes. Maybe because its such a big, heavy vehicle? Weve seated six passengers comfortably in this vehicle. It handles like a smaller car but is roomy and very comfortable. Highly recommend it. Well likely trade it in for a newer Intrepid.

  Back to Pontiac - 1995 Dodge Intrepid
  By 1Stewart20 - January 16 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car used (46,000 miles) with the hopes that I could go to 100,000 miles with the average maintainance repairs. Boy, was I in for a suprise. The first 1000 miles I drove were good. Then I had a 2 trans problem at 48,000 miles. Followed by a busted tie rod, which was immediately followed by a shock housing problem. Another trans problem, air conditioning problem, heating/blower problem, and now wiper motor is broke... all around 75,000 miles. H20 pump is now going to be the next victim. I have gone through enuf belts to wrap around a city block. I now am going to search out a reliable Pontiac.
