1999 Chrysler Intrepid review from North America
"This car is Serious Junk! Don't buy!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The oil pump is bad.
The timing chain is bad.
The engine lights never worked.
The engine blew at 92,000 miles.
General comments?
My mechanic told me it would be around $4000 to fix - rebuild the engine.
He also told me that this is a problem he sees regularly with the 2.7L engine.
Chrysler blames the problem on poor maintenance, however, their shop took care of all maintenance.
Many Many Many other Intrepid owners have the same problem.
