I BOUGHT MY DAUGHTERS A 99 DODGE INTREPID (82K). AFTER THREE WEEKS OF DRIVING THE CAR BROKE DUE THE 2.7 ENGINE FAILURE. I'M A SINGLE MOTHER OF THREE AND I ONLY MAKE 15,000 A YEAR. I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX THE ENGINE OR BUY ANOTHER CAR. MY KIDS NEED TO DRIVE TO AND FROM PRACTICES AND WORK. *JB

I WAS DRIVING MY 1999 DODGE INTREPID YESTERDAY TO WORK WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN I HEARD A SMALL RATTLE. IT BECAME LOUDER AND LOUDER UNTIL THE ENGINE OIL LIGHT STARTED FLICKERING OFF/ON. AFTER THAT THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON AND THE CAR DIED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. CHESTERFIELD DODGE TOLD ME I HAD EXPERIENCED COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE AND COULD DO NOTHING ABOUT IT EXCEPT REPLACE THE ENGINE FOR 5500.00 PLUS INSTALL. IT IS SITTING THERE NOW WAITING TO BE TOWED AND SCRAPPED. THE MOTOR IS 2.7L/V6. *JB

1999 DODGE INTREPID 2.7L ENGINE FAILED AT 75,100 MI. CAR ENGINE STARTED KNOCKING AND STALLING WHILE DRIVING TO WORK. DEALER SAID $5-7 THOUSAND TO FIX. I TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT SERVICE FACILITY. THEY SAID THERE IS KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE AND SLUDGE BUILDUP AND IT ALSO SOUNDED LIKE THE TIMING CHAIN. I'M STILL WAITING ON THEIR ESTIMATE TO FIX THIS AS THEY CAN'T GET TO IT FOR SEVERAL DAYS. IN THE MEANTIME I AM OUT OF A VEHICLE. I'VE SENT A CUSTOMER COMPLAINT TO CHRYSLER AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM THEM.

I AM WRITING TO TRY TO GET SOME INFORMATION ON ANY ACTION I CAN TAKE AGAINST CHRYSLER FOR MY ENGINE FAILURE. I HAVE A 1999 DODGE INTREPID WITH AROUND 81,000 MILES ON IT. I RECENTLY WAS DEPLOYED BETWEEN LATE OCTOBER THROUGH JANUARY. SOON AFTER LEAVING, MY CAR ENGINE BEGAN KNOCKING VERY BADLY AND THE ENGINE QUIT WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING. THIS OCCURRED WHILE SHE WAS TRAVELING WITH OUR 3 CHILDREN?INCLUDING A NEW BORN?.AT AROUND 45 MPH. AFTER GETTING A RIDE BACK TO OUR HOUSE MY WIFE CONTACTED THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE WAS SHOT AND THAT ONE OF THE RODS HAD GONE. THEY ALSO EXPLAINED THAT THE ONLY FIX WAS A NEW ENGINE. WHICH VARIED IN PRICE FROM $3200.00-$9000. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE SAME EXCUSE BY SEVERAL PEOPLE ALSO THAT IT WAS MY FAULT AND THAT I WAS PROBABLY NOT CHANGING THE OIL AS REQUIRED. SINCE THIS WAS OUR ONLY FORM OF TRANSPORTATION I HAD TO RETURN FROM MY DEPLOYMENT TO ASSIST MY FAMILY. NOW I FEEL THAT SINCE THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE TO FINALLY ACCEPT THEIR FAILURE AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I WOULD APPRECIATED AND ASSISTANCE AND INFORMATION FOR WHO OR WHERE I NEED TO CONTACT. I HAVE ALREADY CONTACTED A LOCAL NEWS AGENCY AND THEY REQUESTED THAT I CONTACT THEM BACK AND LET THEM KNW IF I DO GET ASSISTANCE OR NOT SO THAT THEY CAN GET INVOLVED. I REQUEST AN EXPEDITIOUS REPLY TO THIS SITUATION. THANK YOU. *AK ANGELO RODRIGUEZ

I OWN A 1999 DODGE INTREPID WITH A 2.7 LITER ENGINE. THE ENGINE HAS A BAD ENGINE AT ONLY 55,700 MILES. IT STARTED KNOCKING REALLY BAD AND LOST ALL POWER WHILE ON THE FREEWAY.
