1998 Chrysler Intrepid review from North America
"It sure is pretty and that's about it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
- EGR valve (caused rough idling)
- Sixth fuel injector (stalling, rough idling)
- Battery.
- Crank censor (car wouldn't start after long commutes)
- Left Ball Joint (too much play... could of been tragic)
- Radiator (very unexpected... had to replace the whole rad plus rad cap)
- Brake pads, and rotars (cheap pads on old rotars when I bought it)
- Intake gaskets and rings around fuel injectors (caused a vacuum seal leak and to much moisture)
- Now the head gasket possibly, but the problem had mysteriously stopped??
General comments?
This is only my second car, but the first I have bought on my own and I can't help, but feel that the people that sold it to me saw me coming lol! Other than all the problems with the engine (which is the 2nd one) my car is pretty reliable. It always gets me to where I have to be before it decides to break down lol!
