1993 Dodge Intrepid ?? review from North America
"If you like to hitchhike. This is the car for you"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The alternator died after a week of use.
Three of the power windows failed.
I changed the fuel pump twice, not to mention the time it was changed before I bought it.
The windshield wipers do not turn on. When they do they don't turn off.
The headlights stay on after they were switched off.
The car blew countless fuses.
Thermostat caused it to overheat.
The radiator fans shorted out.
The ball joint separated from the control arm (both sides).
General comments?
The car can pull it's weight when you need it to.
It's big and roomy also.
On a more positive note the car did start reliably in very cold weather. I live in northern Minnesota.
From the moment I bought it I had trouble with it.
In slippery conditions the front end slides where it wants to when it wants to regardless of the tire condition.
I've had this car for nearly two years and it's sat in the garage for more than eight months of the time.
This car has died numerous times while driving, leaving me stranded on the side of the road.
I realize now it's just not worth the effort to keep it running.
Just don't buy one. Please.
