1999 Chrysler Intrepid review from North America
"The timing chain will blow and your bill for the damage it causes will be through the roof"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The timing chain broke and blew 12 pistons.
General comments?
This is the worst vehicle problem I have ever had. The shop cost was so expensive that it would have been cheaper for me to blow it up and drive my car that is valued at $1,000 because it is more reliable.
I have noticed that a lot of people have had exactly the same problem and I believe something serious should be done in regards to this engine problem.
