1996 Dodge Intrepid review from North America
"Looks good, but it is just a trouble"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Everything was wrong with this car. First I had a leaky injector, I paid a few hundred dollars and got it fixed, and then the same problem came up in the injector rail, that I paid $450. Then I had the water pump broken in the middle of Atlanta highway, and I paid $300. Besides all this, many times I had check engine light on for no reason. Then I had rough idle, and sudden stops. And finally the spring box got broken, and I had to sell it for very little money to get rid of it.
General comments?
This car is just a junk. Never buy a Dodge, everything is on it is a production mess. Everything is designed so complicated that labor is always high when you need a mechanics. It looks nice, but when you drive it, it is a trouble maker.
