1999 Dodge Intrepid LS review from North America

Oh well let me just start by saying, every 2,000 to 5,000 miles the front brake pads needed to be replaced, and usually the rotors too. I had to do that 4 times in two years, about ($300) each time. This was probably happening because the back brakes were not helping to stop the car at all, and all the weight was placed on the front.

Another thing was the blower for the heat and air only worked when it was on high, I thought I fixed that problem ($250) for a new blower motor, and of course 3,000 miles later it went again.

The starter went, which left me stranded at work until finally I got it jumped, I never took care of that problem because I was broke from fixing the brakes, the blower, the engine tune up because of the ticking, and don't let me forget... The windows came off the track 3 times. Took care of that problem ($50).

Oh don't let me forget the front end was completely out of whack ($1,100). Finally around 90,000 miles I could feel that tranny starting to slip and there was a weird noise coming from the engine. Reading other reviews I was not in the financial state to pay over 5 grand for a car with so many miles. I threw in the towel and started to look for a new car.

Total for car: $5,000.00

Total cost for keeping it for the short time I had it: 2,700... I could only imagine what I would pay if I kept it for another year.

Don't get yourself into this mess!!!
