Good little car, but the motor needed to be replaced.
Overall, my vehicle is a 2001. Being that I'm the 3rd owner and knowing the prior owners, I know that my vehicle was maintained well. But that didn't change the fact that I had to replace the motor. It seems that Dodge decided to put 2.7 motors in these Intrepids that weren't designed to work properly with the transmission system. I had many mechanics tell me that the 2.7 motors were the worst in the 2001 Intrepids. I take my car to the mechanics on a regular basis to keep it maintained, but I wasn't happy about replacing the motor.
