1999 Dodge Intrepid review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car started knocking at 48000 miles, and the engine had to be replaced.
The engine was replaced with a 2.7liter that I found used, and two months later the same thing happened.
General comments?
I was told by an ex-Dodge mechanic that the 1998s and 1999s were both defective, and that the problem I experienced was through no fault of my own. The car was meticulously maintained, so I already knew that, but I found it sickening to have spent so much money on another engine just to have it go out the same way in such a short period of time.
