1998 Dodge Intrepid ES review from North America
"Great car overall, very little problems, but problems are a little costly"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not long after buying this car new from the dealer, the window wouldn't roll down, I think on the passenger's side, but really can't remember now. Fixed under warranty. The only REAL problem I've had with this car is the front brake rotors and some front wheel bearing issues. Bearings have been replaced twice I think, and rotors maybe 3 times. OEM rotors lasted around 80,000 miles, replacement set lasted maybe 20,000. This last set a little more. I also have a windshield washer pump fail and the light for the console flashes some in the day, like it is switching from high to low intensity on it's own. Otherwise the car has been great. Roomy and peppy, but I have to say the handling isn't that great. It's decent handling for a big car, but handling in general isn't great.
