1999 Dodge Intrepid LX review from North America
"A poor autombile and manufacturer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The 1st shift sensor went at ~35000 miles.
The 2nd shift sensor went about 11 months later at about 47000 miles.
The 3rd fuel injector sensor went at 54000 & the tie rods were also replaced.
The rear windows works occasionally.
The front driver window fail off track and broke a clamp off and now that window doesn't work.
At about 69000 miles the engine went.
General comments?
I want to join a class action law suit!
The 1999 Dodge Intrepid, is a joke! I feel like I live in the "Bedrock" days.
I dealt with the various sensors going out every 8 to 10 months and paying the normal $50.00 warranty deductible.
I also learned to live with only 2 operable windows, but then the engine went out.
I was on my way home and the car did a few jerks as if it wasn't getting enough gas. But that wasn't the end the began to make a banging noise and I pulled off the freeway just in time for the car to die.
The rest of my story is the same as everyone Elses at this point, except I provided what they ask for. Three oil receipts and a lot of calls, but the 5 star dealership mechanic told the warranty company that there was sludge in the engine before they even tore down the engine. I took my car back before they did and charged me another $500.00 for what they already new.
Never the less I'm still paying for this piece of junk lawn ornament.
