What owners wrote
While driving engine blew out and the consumer saw smoke coming from under the hood. Consumer pulled over, and had the vehicle towed. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.
The intrepid has had to serviced about every 3 months. First it was the engine light came on due to the 02 sensor going out. Then it was the fan that belt broke on the car. Then it was the tires the would wear the tread really easily. Then it was the passenger door handle it broke on the inside. The it was the transmission that started skipping gears then it would make the rpm's go up. Now the whole transmission has gone out. We have only had this car for two years and we have taken good care of it.
