2002 Dodge Intrepid SE review from North America
"I will probably never own another Dodge or Chrysler"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The thermostat wasn't working properly, it was at normal all the time. It leaked as well.
There was a leak in the water pump casing.
Now the dealer is claiming that there is a crack in the engine block.
General comments?
I don't think that the engine block in a 2002 should have any cracks in it unless it was faulty in the first place.
I don't understand how the thermostat would always read normal.
I had no indication that something was wrong, I serviced the car according to the recommendations.
