1997 Dodge Intrepid Sport review from North America
"The 97 has been a all round good car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well tie rods and a the ball joints have gone bad. No grease certs on any ball joints. Very costly to replace.
Front brakes 2 times, rear brakes 1 time. Normal wear and tear as I see it.
Had a transmission line leak at the
cooler, normal wear and tear.
General comments?
I have been very pleased with the Intrepid's performance and reliability.
It hugs the road well around sharp corners, has a pleasantly smooth ride.
I'm still using the original maintenance free battery, which is totally amazing even in our cold wisconsin weather.
The auto stick feature is one of the best features about the car.
