1998 Dodge Intrepid ES review from Mexico

"High maintenance, but great looking"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Radiator fans had to be replaced at 37,000 miles.

Radiator exploded and had to be replaced at 56,000 miles.

Transmission pan is leaking, had to get the gaskets replaced.

Started to shut down by itself whenever it wants after 65,000 miles, at least once a day, it will start 5 to 10 minutes later. Dealer does not know the failure and computer does not show errors or failure codes.

It is overheating without prior notice, temp level shows under middle and starts blowing steam out of the filling reservoir, it corrects by itself when you turn air conditioning on. Started at 59,000 miles. Dealer does not know how to get it fixed, they took out the thermostat and still is doing it.

Automatic Temperature control device will not light up, but it works, now I have to guess the temp I want instead of looking at the numbers on the screen. Started after 50,000 miles.

Had to replace rear struts, basically had to remove rear seats, and almost everything and also the speakers to get to the bolts that secure the struts. It was done at 68,500 miles.

General comments?

The engine is 3.2 and works great, silent, but powerful, has enough power.

It's quick to response on driving rough roads and has great stability.

Comfortable, roomy, leather seats gives you great sense of luxury, all devices extra like electrocromic mirror and Automatic Temperature Control, gives you extra features that other cars don't have.
