Dodge Intrepid
| | Model of the car: | Dodge Intrepid | | | General comments: | Well i dont know where to begin....I love the styling and handling of this car but the repairs i have had to endure make me wonder if Ill ever buy this product again....This car was a rental,yes i know how they are driven,but i figured that an automobile this new would be ALOT more reliable then it has been.....I must say the dealership from where i bought the car has been outstanding but that doesnt compensate for the time my car has been in the shop.....I had the car for only TWO days when the bottom end of the engine let go,thank god for extended warranties(i suggest on getting the wanrantee if you plan on bying a `99 intrepid).....They rebuilt the bottom end with no qiests asked along with replacing the oil pump,timing belt and pullies......This satisfied me until about 3 days after it was fixed the lifters(told it was this from and engine rebuilder of mine)started making an annoying ticking noise which the dealership say is normal(NOT).....along with this,the passenger window motor has to be replaced,the driver side window came out of its tack and shattered all to pieces and ive noticed a loud noise coming from the rear end of the car when i go to place the breaks on.......And,the sway bar links had to be replaced all of this work was covered under my extended warantee(thank god)........All in all the car handles well,plenty of power to my liking and gas mileage is ok but could be better........I would never recommend buying this car to anyone........ | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | Bottom end of engine had to be rebuilt(crank shaft and bearings),window motor on passenger window is shot,oil pump had to be replaced,timing belt and pullies also replaced,sway bar links had to be replaced which was making a rattle noise in front end over bumps,annoying lifter noise(clicking),and now there is a problem with the back breaks making a clunk when i apply the breaks | | | Previous car: | `93 dodge colt(extremly reliable car),grand am,cavalier |
