2004 Dodge Intrepid Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
Some are wistful and some are thankful that 2004 was the last year for the Dodge Intrepid. Those that loved its sporty design and matching powerful engine, whose heavy-duty torque and quick acceleration make you first off the line, as well as its voluminous space for passengers and trunk cargo, wished Dodge would continue making the Intrepid. Those plagued by continual mechanical problems with the electrical system (driver's power windows), transmission failures, engine rebuilds due to sludge buildup (with the 2.7 V6), and problems with rear visibility are glad to see this car go.
The 2004 Dodge Intrepid did not change from 2003, since Dodge was preparing to replace it with its upcoming Magnum. Offered in SE, SXT, and ES trims, all with a V6 engine (ranging from 200 to 234 to 250-hp) and 4-speed automatic, the Intrepid was a speedy family car. Fitting five or six inside, depending on what types of seats you opted for, the once unique cab-forward design allowed for a bigger cab with more head, leg, and elbow room. Its suspension and longer wheelbase meant a firmer, smoother ride, though efforts to reduce road noise did not seem to be successful.
Owners loved how comfortable the Intrepid was, especially on long trips, and how easy it was to drive despite it being a full-size sedan. Many owners of the 2004 Intrepid complimented it on its sound system. Aside from its sludge problems, the 2.7 V6 was thought to be sluggish, particularly on hills, the opening to the huge trunk was inexplicably too small, and the rear deck height marred visibility.

My 2004 Intrepid was, without a doubt, the best car I have ever had the pleasure to own. This includes a variety of sedans and sports cars, from the 1964 Chevrolet to the MGB. Since mine was lost in an accident some 10 years ago, I have been searching for another one (at a reasonable price for a 19 year old car).Sep 16, 2023

Really like the 3.5! Great power and acceleration. The
handling is pretty sporty too. Handles like a much
smaller car. Despite the big V6, it gets pretty good
mileage too. I got over 26 on a long trip going over
80mph the whole way. Jun 10, 2009

Love the feel of the cockpit, i hate the view out the back window. It's the best ride in a mid to large side ride and the handling is awesome!! I still wish they made this exact model in a new year so i can trade up!!Jun 25, 2008

What users have asked
Why is the front end clunking
Bought a 2004 Intrepid 5 months ago. I hear a pop noise in the front end on the right side at low speeds maybe 10 mph. Not sure what it is. Bushings? Struts?The struts feel firm And the ride is nice with no vibration.

2.7l overheating issues
I personally changed out the water pump and thermostat on the car several years ago and it got very little use from then to now. Now the engine overheats and burps large amounts of coolant out of the reservoir cap. I assume the pump/shaft has failed but I am not wanting to open the engine up again so I am considering putting an auxiliary pump on one of the radiator hoses. Would this work?

My starter wont turn and only gets 7 volts
I had the battery, fuses, alternator, and starter checked, and they all are good. I even cleaned the connections for them and they are getting 12 volts. At first, I put my multi-meter on the wires for the starter and it only said 2.4 volts. So, I cleaned it and then it said 7 volts. The car still wont turn over. What do you guys think it could be?

What could be wrong with engine?
2004 Dodge Intrepid. Engine ran hot. Burned all oil. Smoke coming from under intake manifold. No leaks anywhere. No oil mixing with coolant. When engine cooled. Refilled with oil. Engine ran normally until hot. Let sit again. Engine ran normally. Could this be a bad water pump problem? Or thermostat? Or pcv valve? Or what???
