Consumer Description

THE ENGINE ON MY 2000 DODGE INTREPID, WITH 64K MILES; SIMPLY DIED. TOWED IT TO MY INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO SAID THE ENGINE WAS WORTHLESS, BECAUSE OF NO OIL IN THE PASSAGES. THIS CARS OIL HAS BEEN CHANGED RELIGIOUSLY, AND HAS NEVER HAD THE OIL LIGHT REGISTER A PROBLEM. AFTER INVESTIGATING THE PROBLEM, JUST A BIT ON THE INTERNET, AS WELL WITH THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERS, I FOUND: IN JUST 2 SMALL DEALERSHIPS IN MY AREA, 17 AUTOS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAD TO EITHER DISCARD THE AUTO OR REPLACE THE ENGINE ($4900 APPROX.) THE INTERNET SHOWED NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS, INCLUDING ONE WHO WAS STARTING A CLASS-ACTION SUIT. I HOPE YOUR AGENCY CAN HELP ME AND OTHER OWNERS WITH THIS SERIOUS CONSUMER PROBLEM. THANKS. *JB
