1998 Dodge Intrepid review from North America
"When works, I like it very much!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I purchased my Intrepid NEW in 1998 as it looked so cool. I like it even today.
Here is my list of major problems:
1. Complete transmission rebuild @ 35000K and replaced @ 40000K!!! Still not good even today. I can crush it in few km if I want. How? I come from 80Km/h, solid break to 35Km and floor. You will here a crack in the transmission every time till one day...bang. I am driving like a lady now using 100 of the 200HP Chrysler guaranties.
2. Fuel pump replaced @ 30000Km
3. Font brakes and rotors @ 45000Kms and @ 110000Km
4. Tires replaced 25% under warranty and 75% from my pocket @ 50000K
5. Extended Insurance replaced some "steering rods" afterwords ($ 900.00) as new tires gone in less than 30000K
6. OIL pressure gauge replaced
7. Driver's window support clip broken and not functioning from 60000K. Does not work even today extended Insurance does not cover "glass" and dealer cannot replace only clip.
