The 1999 Dodge Intrepid is sleek, sporty, speedy, and spacious -- the four primary reasons owners are attracted to the car in the first place. For 1999, Dodge made few changes to its full-size sedan, aside from offering remote keyless entry on base models and an anti-theft option that disengages the ignition until the correct key is used. The 1999 Intrepid also boasts improved suspension, for even better handling in this already agile sedan. Inside, some of the fabrics and materials were updated.
The 1999 Intrepid has great acceleration and road handling. With a base 2.7-liter, 200-hp V6 or the 3.2-liter, 225-hp V6 available in ES trims, drivers find the Intrepid a lot of fun to open up on the road. An 18.4-cubic foot trunk and a large interior that comfortably seats five or six means you can pack up your friends and plenty of gear and set out for a long and comfortable road trip.
For all the praise owners lavish on its powerful engine and roomy cabin, unfortunately the new generation of Intrepids seems to experience a lot of mechanical problems. A oil sludge buildup in the 2.7 V6 engine, which can lead to costly repairs, has been well documented. Electrical problems seem to center around faulty power windows. Some owners complain about the sluggishness of the 2.7 engine. Others wish for a rear seat that folds down for more cargo room.
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1999 Dodge Intrepid appreciate its spacious interior, good driving comfort, and decent fuel economy. Many drivers feel the car has a sleek design and handles well on the road. However, there are numerous complaints about mechanical issues, particularly with the engine and electrical components, which can lead to frustration."
Intrepids are GREAT! They run well and look good. The style is fresh and sleek. Even when they are 7 or 8 years old they look brand new because the design is so good. I've never had a major problem with mine, just routine things, and normal wear and tear. THey drive really nice, the handling is excellent, good cornering and plenty of pep.

June 22, 2008The LH-body Dodge Intrepids, which combine Chrysler's cab-forward design and the movement of the wheels to the four corners of the body, are a classic example of maximizing space and economy into a reliable, attractive package. The Intrepids share a chassis with the Chrysler 300 of the same model years. Very few problems are noted with these vehicles except for the necessity of punctual oil changes on the 2.7L engined models, which use a hydraulic timing chain tensioner that is set based on oil pressure.
