What is wrong with the Intrepids? - 3/29/2006 7:47:49 PM    1994shadowman Posts: 584 Joined: 9/24/2005 From: Fennimore Wisconsin Status: offline It seems that both first and second generation forums only have people complaining about their cars. I mean consider buying a K-Car if you want reliability. What is wrong with these cars that makes them break down or malfunction all the time? In my opinion Intrepids have to many things wrong with them to make them worth keeping. _____________________________ One of the last Shadows made. My Ride Post #: 1

I'd have to say that my wife loves her '94 Intrepid. I have not had a lot of problems with it until a few months ago when the ignition switch went bad. That was a tough one to crack.

But what i am saying is that the people with problems are not all new. I have yet to see a day when there are more posts about other subjects than repairs on this forum. _____________________________ One of the last Shadows made.

Most of the things I see are just due to high miles and such, or lack of proper care. My LHS on the other hand, had a tone of problems and was only 2 years older than my Intrepid...it had lower miles but it just wasn't taken care of. (in reply to 1994shadowman) Post #: 4

The other thing is that alot of people buy their car used....and expect it to be like a new car. Unfortunately, the new owner winds up having to deal with all the problems and blames it on the car....when I'm sure we could agree that some of those issues could simply be blamed on the previous owner's abuse and upkeep of the car. _____________________________ Are you in the Midwest???

I recently loaned it to a family member for a few months and now I have to replace the driver's seat but other than that its been very dependable. (in reply to DevilsReject) Post #: 7
