2002 Dodge Intrepid SE review from North America
"I wish I had left it on the lot!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The check engine light came on 2 days after my 30 day warranty.
It would stay on for a couple of weeks and go off.
Then I would look up again and it would come back on.
Finally the transmission went out at 95,000 miles and come to find out, that was the reason for the engine light going on and off.
It cost me 18,338 to get the transmission rebuilt.
I am still paying for the car.
Then two weeks later the wheel bearing on the driver side brakes that was $287.00.
Three weeks before the transmission went out I had to get a complete brake job that cost me almost $500.00.
Now the check engine light has come back on for three weeks now. I give up!
The next car I get will be GM or Toyota.
General comments?
I should of known better than to buy the car when the VIN wouldn't go through for the insurance and tag.
Come to find out the car was from Canada and Chrysler is the maker Dodge.
