Good car; at least from my point of view. $50 an hour charge too much. Try doing it yourself

Great ride, roomy family sedan, but lousy reliability and dodgy (no pun intended) service excuses

1999 Dodge Intrepid review from North America

"Good car; at least from my point of view. $50 an hour charge too much. Try doing it yourself"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Power steering line burst at 120,000 miles.

Oil drain plug managed to get stripped.

Instrument panel lights tend to flash bright to dim at times.

My shifter light panel at times doesn't want to light up, or takes 30 minutes of driving before they come on.

Had two windows go out on me (no power), and had the drivers side window break off from its window hinge.

Trunk release button stopped working.

My car would suddenly die while driving, or at idle and at times it wouldn't start at all until I pushed the car, allowing the wheels to move slightly. This problem perplexed me for some time. It turned out the problem was due to ignition problem.

Replaced the center tie-rod bushing twice.

General comments?

Like many others, I agree, the car has plenty of room and isn't bad on gas (get about on average 25 mpg).

I bought the car with many miles on it a (110,000), and I owned it for a number of years. Yes, it has had some issues, but what car doesn't. My car now has 194,000 mile on it but has served me very well. If it wasn't for the accident that I was involved in last week (where the other driver didn't yield the on-coming traffic), I would still be enjoying it.

Some of the issues that I did have trying to retrieve items that had fallen deep in my truck (yeah, you know what I'm talking about).

What about that battery! I'd like to meet the brain surgeon who thought that placing it in the wheel well area would be a great joke (ha, ha, ha... real funny)
