Well the only major problem that I had was the Timing Belt. At first I thought it was that the engine blew, but I had a friend check it out and found that all it was was the Timing Belt. The A/C also went out, but that was not a major problem that I had and the cruise control stopped working, but when it did work it worked perfect.

General Comments:

This car handles great.

Has get up and go.

Did great on mileage.

Overall it's a great car to have and the fog lights helped a lot with driving.

Faults:

Sway bars were clunking right when I bought the car.

Rotors had to be resurfaced.

Water pump/timing belt had to be changed after 1500 miles from buying the car. Needed new battery and transmission flush.

Very nice car. I wanted a Dodge Intrepid and got a good deal on a '97. Car needed new brakes at the dealership, when I picked up the car, drove it on the highway and hit the brakes the car shuttered. It needed the rotors resurfaced. Also sway bars were clunking on both wheels. These were replaced under warranty. 3.5 litre V6 has unbelievable power!! Water pump and timing belt had to be replaced, quoted by a Dodge dealership at $700. It however was also covered under warranty. Overall no major issues. I sold the car to an exchange student because I got my Pontiac Grand AM back. He put a new belt tensioner in it and new brakes. He has already put 2000 miles over the past 2 months and loves the car!!

My two biggest problems have been all four of the struts breaking and gas leaking from around one of the fuel injectors. The problem was hard to locate, but was fairly simple to fix and my husband did it himself.

This car moves when you hit the gas!

The interior is very roomy and comfortable and still looks great.

This is the first car I have owned that has been completely reliable in every way.

Faults:

Black paint is very dull and peeling off.

Replaced thermostat several times due to being stuck and causing overheating.

This is a powerful and fun to drive car.

Faults:

I can't keep the car in alignment!! The brakes SUCK!! It seems like every time I get out of the car the front brakes are smoking. The dealer says there is nothing wrong, but there has to be! The car had tie rod end, ball joints and alignment done under the warranty (thank god). Paint is chipping from the front bumper and A pillars.

This is a fast car. It may be a 4dr sedan, but it can move. You can go 100mph in this car and not realize it!
