Consumer Description

DODGE INTREPID 2.7L-V6 ENGINE FAILED WHILE DRIVING. HE CAR WAS DRIVEN BY OUR 18 YEAR OLD SON ACCOMPANIED BY 2 OF HIS FRIENDS. HE LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES DUE TO FAILURE OF ENGINE. FORTUNATELY HE COULD BRING THE CAR TO A SAVE STOP WITHOUT INJURING ANYBODY. REASON ACCORDING TO DODGE DEALERSHIP: OIL SLUDGE DUE TO WHAT SEVERAL ENGINE EXPERTS HAVE STATED IS DUE TO INTERNAL OIL PASSAGES THAT ARE TOO NARROW FOR ENGINE OIL TO PROPERLY CIRCULATE.*AK
