1996 Dodge Intrepid ES review from North America
"A sporty nightmare"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car needed a complete tune-up at 100000 miles. I got that done.
The cradle mounts were bad so they were replaced at $350.00.
The car will overheat when the A/C unit is on and cook out the anti-freeze. This has been going on very week and the dealership cannot repair it until it is sitting and does it in front of them. And of course it won't happen then.
The car was a gas hog until the repairman changed the fuel sensors, but it still have a surge when traveling very slow.
The paint is fading on the roof, hood and truck areas.
General comments?
The car is very roomy and is quick.
The seats are comfortable and if it were reliable, it would be a great car to travel long distances in.
