1998 Dodge Intrepid SE, BASE review from North America

"Very beautiful, expensive garbage"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Just about everything:

Rotors warped.

Brakes need constant replacement. Don't last more than 10,000 miles.

Engine fans died within weeks of each other over heating the car.

A/C system needs constant repair.

Battery dies about every 11 months, has to be replaced constantly.

Numerous other thing, to much to list, including engine failure, even though the oil was changed constantly, with Mobil 1.

General comments?

If your in the market for a car avoid anything build or made by Chrysler. You will live to regret it. I baby-ed this car, and did all kinds of preventive repairs, and still I couldn't prevent the unavoidable, knowing of the 2.7 sludge problem, and still the engine died on me while I was driving. Stalled in the middle of the street going 30 mph, almost hit a bus. It's not worth the money or the headaches. Chrysler refuses to initiate any type of recall to repair the problems. It was a defiantly a love and hate relationship with this car. one good thing about this car is the handling during winter, other than that Good Luck. I used nothing, but Mobil 1 synthetic oil ever since I owned her, and I still ended up having the engine seize on me. It defiantly has the looks, but not worth the massive financial headaches. NEVER EVER WILL I BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER, DODGE, OR ANY OTHER AMERICAN CAR.
