"GM rushed to production then rushed to phase out"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Premature warped brake rotors.

DEX-COOL coolant engine corrosion of lower and upper intake gaskets and manifold.

Excessive engine oil consumption between changes, valve cover leak.

Power window motors replaced.

Idler pulley replaced.

General comments?

Great driving car if not for the inherent cooling system problem.

Inherent oil consumption.

Inherent brake clunking noise and rotor wear.

Car maintained above and beyond book with every additive and lifetime warranty replacement maintenance part to run at it's peak and only got 115000 miles before engine needed re-manufacture.

The Intrigue was not made until 1998. It was only in production for 5 years (1998-2002)

Actually, as is true with all cars, 98 models were introduced in 97. Model years are offset from production by one to two quarters.

But they are still classified as 98's. New model lines are bound to have some defects like every other introduced.
