1997 Dodge Intrepid ES review from North America
"Fast car, but good luck stopping!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I can't keep the car in alignment!! The brakes SUCK!! It seems like every time I get out of the car the front brakes are smoking. The dealer says there is nothing wrong, but there has to be! The car had tie rod end, ball joints and alignment done under the warranty (thank god). Paint is chipping from the front bumper and A pillars.
General comments?
This is a fast car. It may be a 4dr sedan, but it can move. You can go 100mph in this car and not realize it!
