If you do not start the car within a few days the battery goes dead.

The looks of this car are great.
We have had to put a lot of time and money into it. Every time we turn around it is something else.
Our transmission is our newest problem and from the looks of it, we need to just get rid of it.
We bought this car because it was "American Made"
I've had the same problems. Both hood shocks were replaced and my driver's seat is now worn to the point that the metal frame has ripped the seat and is now ripping clothes when exiting the car.
Seats are probably the easiest and cheapest big part to replace on these cars. If the junk yards don't have them, Ebay does. Chrysler did one smart thing on the LH body cars: most of the seats in either leather or cloth are GREY, regardless of body color!
What in the world are you people doing to your seats? Get some hemorrhoid treatment and stop fidgeting.
I have a 97 intrepid now for 2 years the only thing that went wrong is the thermostat an the the inner tie-rod ends and the flasher just recently. I guess I have a unique car because every part for the 97 does not match my car whether it be the thermostat housing or the flasher?? the year is right I checked as for the seats hmmm... lose some weight he he.
