1993 Dodge Intrepid ES review from North America
"Don't, but a 1993 Intrepid"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Six transmissions, all replaced by the dealer at their cost, but what a headache. Air has failed numerous times, now the evaporator coil has failed. Took it to another shop, they recharged it in the spring and it has lasted all summer. So I will recharge every spring at $100 before I pay $750 for another coil. Front end lasted 100,000 before $1200 rebuilt it. Water pump cover warped, $500, head gaskets blew, $500. Tranny now clunks in reverse, but I will baby this car to 200k. Radio doesn't come on. Power windows are seizing up. Car handles great, gas mileage is good, over 20 in the city. My side panels peeled too, but bought new ones for $100 instead of painting old ones. All in all I probably won't buy another Dodge.
General comments?
Front end floats in the rain even with new tires.
