1998 Dodge Intrepid Reviews - Page 20 of 23

The rotors warp easily. It seems like the pads will never wear. If you had this car you will change the rotors, the radiator fans. and the tie rod bushings to keep the car perfect.

I love the car. It has a very smooth ride and drive train. Follow the maintnance schedule and the car will not leave you stranded. Great highway mileage. Comfortable and roomy. Great handling car. Looks like the sleekest sedan ever made.

The transmission had to be replaced at 61,000. Luckily, it was still under warranty.

Currently at 78,000, the engine must be replaced with an estimate cost of $4,700 due to low oil pressure.

Sometimes the doors lock automatically while standing still.

Rear passenger window works infrequently.

I love the looks, sporty design and the ride is very comfortable, but lacks dependability where the engine is concerned. There should be a recall!!

Dodge now knows the original 2.7 is a junk engine and should compensate the consumers that are now paying dearly for their mistakes.

If anyone knows of a class action suit, count me in.

I am very disappointed in Dodge.

Power window on the driver's side quit working when the car was 2 years old. Rear power windows work periodically.

Replaced brakes at 50,000 km and was told they need to be replaced again.

Had to add oil often.

Engine seized up at 72,000 km with no warning. Regular maintenance was performed on the car.

This car looks and drives well, but I keep hearing the same complaint - 'the engine seized up due to sludge in the engine'. The engine replacement is from $5000.00 - $10,000.00 and is completely unacceptable for a vehicle that has been maintained and with low km's.

Regulator went out shortly after I purchased the car.

Next, I had to replace the horns, Dodge wanted $50 for labor, about $60 for the parts. Needless to say I picked some up at a salvage yard and did the work myself.

The interior lights flash on and off.

Right before my engine seized 030103 I found dried coolant under the hood on some hoses. Average repair for that engine is $5000.00.

Oddly enough is that I work with about five people with the Dodge Intrepid who have either had to replace their engines or the car is *ticking* which was later explained to me as knocking... aka engine failure.

Do not buy Dodge products... Seems to me Dodge is rolling out lemons from the start, how is this legal?

Any information on a class action suit would be greatly appreciated.

My engine blew at 90,000.

I have been told by a lot of different professional people that the 2.7 engines are just bad. They get starved of oil for various reasons. The 2.7 is in such demand, the salvage yards are charging $2200-3000 for one. A rebuilt engine will cast almost 5,000. The bearings are on national back order.
