General Comments:

This car has cause me great pain in my pockets. When I purchased the car, it had 5,400 miles. I purchased this junk in January 1998. Over the years, I have put out over $9,000 dollars in repairs. On April 29th, I took my car in for repairs due to hearing noise under the hood, which cost me $1,827. My car would not pass an emission test due to a failed Transmission Control Module. I also had my engine flushed, two belts replaced, both tie rod ends replaced and the basic tune up brake inspection. On May 1, I called the Dodge dealership back to inform them that the noise was still their. I took the car back to service on May 8th. I was then told that my engine was going bad. I questioned them as to why I wasn't told this when the car was there on April 29th. They just said to me, we didn't know. I could have cried like a baby once they said it would cost me $5,000 to replace the engine. I will never purchase another Dodge Intrepid again.

At 61,000 Power flickering occurs again. What's next?

General Comments:

This car is a mechanical nightmare! One thing after another has gone wrong. Chrysler is well aware of it's defects, but fails to honor their customers safety or loyalty. Although this car is spacious and comfortable, do not buy an intrepid unless you would like it to be a permanent fixture in your driveway!

I Will never buy Chrysler again!!!
