1999 Dodge Intrepid consumer reviews

Had to say goodbye to my intrepid due to the frame behind rusted beyond repair.I have 600,000.00 k on it and that 3.2 engine still runs great.Love that car.🤗

Funny reviewing a car I sold 10 years ago but here we go: I owned the car from 2004 until 2008 and overall, it was great. But, if you're looking for this as a used car in 2018, DO NOT BUY the 2.7L motor. It's prone to sludge build up due to a poor design within the engine itself and it'll destroy the motor. Then again, if the car is still alive in 2018 and you're looking at a 2004 model, you're probably ok, but still - get the 3.5 or even 3.2 if you can (ES model had the 3.2, SXT and R/T model had the 3.5 and SE/base model had the 2.7). Comfortable car, decent enough power. I'd buy one again in a heartbeat but with the 3.5L which is a great motor.

I purchased an se ,03 back in 05 with 9k miles now has 75k ok I don't run around town a lot but considering the vehicle a 2.7 and my work it has been agree at vehicle and I became the second owner. To my wonder, I found an original owner of a 99 es who had just purchased a 300 s off lease I bought the 99 es and all the paperwork came with what a car impressed and more toys than the 03 se....faster too

I am in love with the Dodge Intrepid, provided it has the right engine. There are little quirks about needing specific coolant and the expensive transmission fluid. However, if you do these things and maintain it, it will run forever. This is my 3rd Intrepid, I upgraded each time. I wish they still made them. The wide wheel base makes it work well in snow and ice, common here in the Midwest. The trunk space could fit a family inside, if you ever wanted to try it out. :) It has great leg room in the back seat even for my teenage boy. It does have little interior quirks like the cup holders are very prone to breaking and visor clips are chinsy. Overall great car!

I bought the 3.2L ES used about 2 months ago. Love it so far. I've owned a few other Dodges (99 Grand Caravan, 01 Neon RT, 05 Durango, still own Caravan and Durango) and this lives up to the Dodge name just as well. I bought this car because I needed something that was practical and had kick without buying an underpowered Neon (The R/T was fast, but a gas guzzler for 4 cylinders, and I didn't want a base model). These cars have decent mpg with a low ride and a sporty look. I recommend this for commuters and students.

This car has the 2.7 Liter engine. I have always kept the oil changes up. The only engine problem I ever had was a broken timing chain tensioner which I consider routine. After replacing the timing set it has ran just fine for another 13000 miles and shows no signs of stopping any time soon. This is a very roomy car and it has a sleek yet elegant style body. I just wish they still made them.

A friend at our church gave our family a 1999 Dodge Intrepid as a replacement for our inefficieant 2004 Kia Sedona minivan, but we also no longer have the Intrepid either. It was quite roomy, with comfortable front seats, and an adequately comfortable rear bench. Probably would have been a bit more comfortable if it had rear headrests. The seats also had cigarette burns in them; gross. Interior storage was sparse, with no pockets on the front seats for the rear passengers and no rear cupholders or center console. I'm assuming this is because we had the base model? Anyway, on to the mechanics. Our car had the 2.7L V6 engine, which I had previously read on the intenet that this engine has sludge buildup issues. The motor in ours has corrosion on it, and the engine itself was quite dirty. This car had not been taken care of. Acceleration was pretty peppy for 200 horsepower pulling 3,500 pounds of Intrepid. The car smoked a lot out of the exhaust pipe, even when parked, which I could tell was a bad sign. We ater traded our Intepid in for another car, a 2003 Hyundai XG350L. Overall, the '99 Intepid wasn't a terribly bad car, but it definiely wasn't a good one. If you want an Intrepid, it would probably be best to buy a 2000-2004 model instead of a 1998-1999.

I bought this 1999 Intrepid ES brand new in March, 1999. It now has 140,000 miles. The best things about this car are it's incredible roominess. The back seat is like a limousine and there is a nice big trunk. The 3.2 L 24 valve V6 has been great: no oil has ever been added between changes and it still runs strong. The Autostick 4 speed has been fine. Maintenance other than oil and filter: Brakes once, inner tie rod bushings and alignment: once, radiator fans: once. It is the car last likely to roll over: it sits down low. Infinity stereo system has been fine. I would buy another if Chrysler still made these. If you are interested in Intrepids: stay away from 1998-2001 models with the 2.7 liter V6. Definitely go for the 3.2 in cars of that vintage.

I bought a used 1999 Intrepid 30 days after i got it the motor went out. It had 73000 miles on it. i reseached it and the untreoids that came with a 2.7 DOHC Motor dont buy it.There are last i checked 160 thousand complaints on this car. Put another motor in it and about 10000 miles later that one went bad.So do yourself a favor and if you buy one make sure it does not have the 2.7 DOHC motor.

intrepid are good car i will get 100 more because i love it if i had the money to buy every color will
