1997 Dodge Intrepid 4 Door review from North America
"Should have purchased another brand"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Heater blower motor failed 3 times - replaced under warranty.
Started failed twice - replaced under warranty.
When outside temp. is hot, all electrical components in car's interior fail. I.E. no turn signals, no lights, no fan and no air conditioner, electric windows and door locks don't operate. Car has been to Dodge shop twice while under warranty, but they were unable to duplicate the problem. Once car cools off (leaving all doors open), the above items will function.
Car started burning oil at 78,000 miles and trailing blue smoke from exhaust. Oil & oil filter changed every 3000 - 4000 miles.
