1999 Dodge Intrepid Base 2.7 from North America
Faults:
I bought the car from an independant dealer. When I bought the car the windows all worked. With in 1 week the 2 rear windows stopped working. I took it back to the dealer I bought it from, and they said "The seals are sticking" they fixed the problem temporarily. A couple days later the rear windows stopped working again. I took it to a local 5-star Dodge dealer. Without even looking at the car they told me that I would need new motors for the rear window. I decided not to fix it. A year later someone told me to hold down the switch and slam the door. I did this with both windows and I fixed the problem myself. To make a long story short, try holding down the switch and slamming the door. It worked for me and I haven't had any problems since.
The only other problem that I have had is at 60,000 miles the heater switch went out, and the blower only worked on high. I had it fixed at a 5-star dealer for a cost of $150 labor and parts. Now with 75,000 miles, the same problem has occured. I am not in too big of a hurry to fix it again.
Dodge logo fell off during a car wash at 68,000 miles.
Other than that and regular maintenance the car has been very dependable and a good family vehicle.
General Comments:
