Re: Intrepid Recommend or Not?

I have a 1998 chrysler intrepid.

It is the best looking and confortable car I got in my life.
But it is the worst reliable car also.
It as only 47 000 milles on it and I got many reliability problems that 
never occur in 12 years with my 1992 ford tempo.

Just to mention some

1-On day it refuse to go out of park and it cost me a fortune at the 
dealer to repair it
2-Fan blower resitor block has a one shut thermistor (The thermistor 
worth less than 1$) but the dealer will change the resistor block and it 
will cost you arround 100$ (a women said that a dealer charged her 
around 600$ for the repair)
3-My suspension is to be changed
4-Today I just lost my brake suddenly, like in James Bond movies, I was 
lucky to survive and more lucky not to kill any one. It was a chance 
that my emergency brake was brand new ( I had to change it 3 months ago)

I am not the only one to have problems you can look at:

After around 3000$ of repair in the last 12 month, I could not say that 
it is a reliable car.

But it is a nice looking and confortable car
