1996 Dodge Intrepid Base review from North America
"Very bad reliability risk!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Overheated at 32,000 miles due to failed water pump. Dealer replaced it under warranty.
Rotor failed at 33,000 miles.
A/C Compressor failed at 55,000 miles.
Overheated - water pump failed again at 60,000 miles. Replaced with non-Mopar water pump.
Sway bar links failed at 65,000 miles.
Overheated again at 80,000 miles due to coolant recovery tank leakage.
General comments?
I totaled my Intrepid recently and am glad to be rid of it.
I actually wondered if I'd make it to work every day.
They are very bad reliability risks in my opinion.
