that is what is so disappointing about it I guess - I love the car, the room in it, the way it drives and such that is why I didn't hesitate to get another. It's just frustrating that it is a known problem and the maker doesn't back it up. If I spend the money to fix it - is it going to be replaced with the same possible defect or have they improved it so I don't have to worry about another expense like this? Having just my single income and raising 4 kids these repairs make it almost impossible for me to drive the car and make the payments and insurance. Thanks for your response Geoff.

I traded the '96 rather than put the $1200 into it; the '98 got a new rack but then the transmission got flakey. These are not trouble-free cars by any means, but they are fairly well built and on par in terms of quality with any other domestic make. --Geoff Web: <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dodge_intrepid> Subscribe: <mailto://[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Unsubscribe: <mailto://[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Moderator: <mailto://[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Yahoo!
