1998 Dodge Intrepid ES review from North America

"Dodge should make go-carts, they haven't a clue how to build a car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Cooling system problem. Cooling fans stopped working and blew fuses, coolant boils over while temp. gage is normal. Dodge dealer stated fans needed to be replaced, wanted to rip me off $1175.00 for the fans install. Did work on my own with $150 NEW fan assembly and it took me 1 1/2 hours to install. Thieves. Cooling system still doesn't work, obviously the fans weren't the problem.

Transmission blew at 120000 miles. Auto-stick feature always had problems, transmission would slip and then wouldn't shift to a higher gear, had to shut down car to reset computer (if computer was an actual brain, this car would be considered retarded).

Ignition fell apart, not sure when but any car should die before it's ignition goes out.

Clear coat came off car's paint job, pathetic and unprofessional manufacture paint job.

Many parts are completely inaccessible and bad placement of engine components. EX. battery is underneath the air intake system, terminal posts located in random areas of engine compartment and wired to the battery. Car is built by morons.

A/C stopped working at 110000 miles.

General comments?

Car has problem after problem that always cost more than the car is worth.

Completely unreliable, never know what problems to expect every time I turn the key.

Monkeys could build a better car.

I dream of driving it off of steep embankments with me in the car!

Every Dodge/Chrysler car I've owned were utter pieces of crap. Went through 2 used Le barons and 1 used town and country in one year.

Friend owned a new Avenger, stated that engine components were buried and inaccessible (spark plugs located underneath exhaust manifold, cost $3,000 to change spark plugs), put him in $35,000 debt.
