1999 Dodge Intrepid review from North America

I have had to replace the driver's side brackets for the power window. $125.00 (As soon as I rolled the window down off the lot).

I replaced the braking system front and back. $425.00.

I replaced the malfunctioning alarm system. $300.00.

I had to replace the starter which the alarm system caused to malfunction. I got off because I know people $230.00. Reg. price $475.00.

I was told that the car was driven by a Chrysler business exec. here at the world headquarters in Auburn Hills, Mi. I bought the car for only $3800.00 & thought I was getting a great deal. $3800.00 quickly became $5000.00. Still thought I was getting a good deal.

After getting the aforementioned fixed, I haven't had any major problems or so I thought. The check engine light was on when I bought the car, but I didn't think anything of it until reading about 300 complaints on just this site alone. There was also that mysterious lurching forward that I had noticed, but didn't put much weight into. My major problem is after overhauling the braking system (front & back), the car shakes & squeals so violently you would think that the wheels are about to come off. I have taken the car to 4 different 5***** dealerships & they all said that it was a maintenance problem. How can that be when I bought it from a car lot who had the paperwork from the Chrysler exec who maintained the car? Are they trying to say that he didn't keep up the maintenance on it? Or the dealerships that did the maintenance didn't know what they were doing?

I don't know, but I may be able to get in on a class-action suit or start a new one. My 98' Neon also has the exact same braking problem.

'The New Dodge' motto should be screw the Americans! Go buy a Pontiac.
