Dodge Intrepid
| | Model of the car: | Dodge Intrepid | | | General comments: | Do not buy a Dodge Intrepid, it is unreliable and there appears to be a pattern of engine failures on the 98, 2.7 liter engine. (Two other very similar 98 Intrepid Engine failures are currently posted on this web site.)My well maintained engine(I have the maintenance records) that had 80,000, primarily highway miles, suddenly lost oil and failed. Chrysler | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | The ENGINE FAILURE is obviously the major weakness but the Idler Pulley on the serpentine belt broke into pieces ($400), the driver side power window motor($400), the rear muffler (driven in North Carolina, i.e. no snow or salt) failed my state imspection at 18 months. ($260 that was still only avilable from the Dealer.) None of these repairs were covered under the Warrantee. | | | Previous car: | 2001 Chevy Impala LS. No comparison, the GM products and the dealer service is far superior. (I also had 95,92,89 and 86 Buick LeSabres.) The Impala LS comes with a reliable 3.8 Liter engine (Same as the LeSabres.)with more power and a proven track record |
