1998 Chrysler Intrepid review from North America
"Worst car I ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
If you are about to buy one... the base 2.7 engine is not good.
I replaced the alternator twice, a month after buying it and at the end of last year... maybe that's a record, the starter, try finding the battery, the thermostat housing is plastic and due to be replaced for the second time, replaced the timing chain, have spent 3000.00 in the past 12 months.
I recently went to the local car show in our area, guess what stand I would not set foot on.. OK I`m a little jaded, but the good news is as of last week, it's someone else headache.
General comments?
Comfortable cruiser, but absorbs other outside noises, so you think the noise is coming from the car.. scary.
