1993 Dodge Intrepid ES review from North America
"Was worth the money for me... sometimes you get a lemon, and sometimes you don't"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Since I've had the car, the only one problem I've encountered which just started happening the last few nights are.. my brakes... as I come to make a stop this doesn't happen all the time... as I come to slow down there like a grinding noise... now it sounds like when you wear your pads all the way down and the caliper is just grinding on the rotor.
Now I had both front tires off... I have a decent amount of pad on both sides. I seem to have a little bit more on the right than the left.. so it's not my brake pads... it's gotta be a warped rotor or a defective caliper...
Any way I was just asking what anyone would think... if any one else had this problem maybe they would know right off the bat before I replace the rotors calipers and pads.
General comments?
I bought my 93 Intrepid ES for 960 $ from the original owner. Got all the paper work, everything ever done to the car, all the recalls were fixed, and the car ran fine.
Only problem was the wind shield was cracked; not a major thing.. and the idle air control valve needed to be replaced and the throttle bodies cleaned out.
The one famous problem it has is the bucking tranny.. it wants to keep going as you coming to a stop.. but not a major problem, doesn't bother me too much. It's a just a first car to get me back and forth to school, work etc. I would buy another one though anytime.
