1999 Dodge Intrepid ES review from North America
"Piece of crap 1999 Chrysler"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Doors wouldn't power lock after 15 km/hr. had the dealership fix it 5 times on warranty, when warranty expired, had it fix at another dealership for $70 which they only fix through their computer and been working fine after paying.
The car would stall with engine light on at the same time it would stick to second gear. Dearlership charged me $589.00 for a $35 replacement part speed sensor. they broke a nut and charged me $59 which I got back because I told them I was going to sue. they told many things like oil change had to be done when in fact I had an engine flush and new oil put in. they told me my rad was leaking when it fact I had a small oil leak under the oil pan. I would nevr take this car or any car again to any Chrysler Dealership since they are very dishonest. its not just one dealership, but all of them. My next car will be either a toyota or Honda.
My brakes makes constant noise which speedy and midas brakes tell my its the manufacture design. I have one shock rear driver side that makes funny noises, and My A/C wasn't working on hot days, had the coolant replace with new type coolant. all this under 2 years having the car and under warranty except for the speed sensor and the power locks?
Now I have to get car engine flush and transmission flush every 5000km/hr from what I heard on here.
General comments?
What an expense for a almost new car. trust me, buy an import, its the only way they will learn and pay for their mistakes. American Made??? my ass.
BUY Canadian made cars or Japanese made cars only.
America makes garbage cars, period!
Don't buy this piece of crap Chrysler.
