Transmission went at 36,000 miles. but was covered by extended warranty.
Brake rotors tend to warp. I believe due to improper torque at tire changes.
Heater fan has bothersome noise.
Power steering pump and rack and pinion unit went at 81000. Very costly and General Motors says my serial No. is not included their recall for this common problem.
Gas tank door works about 10% of the time.
This car is a joy to ride. The family loves it on long trips.
My daughter loves the Boise sound system so much she wants me to keep the car another 3 years so she can have it for her first car.
The engine is very responsive and not bad on miles per gallon.
I bought a 1998 Intrigue in march 15 th 2005 with 55,000 milles. Let say that I like this car. But let me tell you what was wrong. Replace rack pinion (dint knew that their
was a recall at GM... maby someone can't brief me on that mather) Replace air conditionning condensor... in the front.
Replace left front bushing (table arm).Replace the front
shocks.The wright passenger power window do not work (had to operate it with my main control on my side). Now it is the electic mirror control who who failled. Replace the
rear left coil spring (was broken at 2 places).The 3.8 L engine:enough power, but poor fuel economy in the citie.
Engine has an oil leak somewhere. A mechanic told me that
this was common with the 3.8 L block. Fuel door jamming. jmlarin@sympatico.ca or jean.marc.larin@danone.com.
