My daughter and son in law were driving to town when they heard God awful sound coming from under hood. It made sound like something in bicycle spokes. I could hear over phone. They stopped in auto store; they said was pistons and lever. They said it would be cheaper bY new car than fix it. They don't have money for either. Its 2000 Dodge Intrepid. I wouldn't have one; and car dealers sell them knowing they lemons.
