This car has been a pain since I bought it. My locks have been busted for about 1.5 years, maybe a little more. When I lock my door it sounds like a little rock and roll band playing in my locks. Very loud noise, but I guess it adds something unique to my car, and to see people turn around and look at the car when they hear it, is pretty comical. I don't want to put another $400 in my car to fix it.
Just fixed a chip in my car also, second time for that, that was $229, but the thing is my interior lights, flicker like a Christmas tree still. These Intrepids need recalled and all of us refunded. Is there anywhere I can get a refund or money for this junk?

Once again, one of the door lock actuators went out this time its the driver side front door that makes all four doors know and this time the price of the part was higher then before, I guess they figured these parts are all ways going out on people so instead of trying to find out why and what the problem is they just raise the price and make a bunch of money off all of us.

I've had my 2000 Intrepid for 6 years, and I'm surprised at how reliable it is... I've had no mechanical problems so far. But the power locks make a loud screeching noise, and I have to manually unlock two of the four doors.

I have electrical problems... the lights go off and on. I have problems with the door rubber sealing that keeps falling off.
the major problem is the locks.. it costs so much for the first door lock to be replaced that when the other 2 went bad i couldn't afford to get them replaced.

Rear door locks give off grinding noise when automatic lock comes on. I have to unlock from front doors and then manually unlock. These locks were never fixed. The front door locks / window controls were fixed when they also failed. however, the fix on the driver side window not working properly failed recently again after 1-1/2 years.

I replaced rf door mechanism about 1 year ago and now the lf and lr mechanism are bad. This is definitely a design fault and Chrysler Corp needs to reimburse for this. Does any one know of any cases against Chrysler. Thank You

Back in 2002 my rear passenger door stopped opening. Cost me $250 to repair. Dealer says the power door lock engine died. It sounded like a buzzer as you hear the gears inside slip. Now in 2006 the front passenger door is doing the same thing. This time I don't feel like paying $250 for new door motor. I just reach over and open the door by hand. Still very annoying.

it was January.... and i don't know what the hell happened. but i went to open my door, and it wouldn't open... so i pushed, and i apparently broke something, and the motor would push the button up, but not down, and it made the most god awful noises.... so i just disconnected it by unplugging it. i'm not going to pay $100 for another junky plastic geared lock motor

I really like the look of my INTREPID, but it has been one major disappointment. I know we are to list each problem separately, but I have too many to record. When it comes to my rear driver's side door lock, I manually lock and unlock it. It is really annoying and sometimes I forget and just leave it unlocked.
