1998 Dodge Intrepid Es Base review from North America
"A nightmare on 4 wheels!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car was fine until the summer of 2006 we replaced the rack & pinion. Got that fixed in Jul 2006. Now here it is Mar 2007 and Now the car has to have a new fuel pump, fuel injectors, and the spark plugs replaced. Also about 8 mos ago the airbag light came on and they can't tell me why. We have replaced the fuses. I love Dodge cars I was raised up on them. I own a 2004 Dodge Stratus and I have no problems yet with my car. But this intrepid is becoming a headache. The idle tension Pulley just fell off. Lucky the car doesn't need that to run. I have kept the maintenance up on this car. Why all these headaches.
