Consumer Description

I PURCHASED MY DODGE INTREPID JANUARY 2001, I HAD A LITTLE PROBLEM, I THOUGHT WITH THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING, BUT THAT PROBLEM STOP IMMEDIATELY. I DID WORRY ABOUT IT THEN I NOTICED-- I WAS LOW ON OIL FROM TIME TO TIME BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. I HAD IT CHECKED WHEN I CHANGED MY OIL, BUT THEY COULDN'T TELL WHERE IT WAS BURNING FROM. THEN THE WORST HAPPENED NOV 25, 2003 THE CAR START BURNING OIL AND SMOKING LIKE CRAZY, STILL COULD NOT FIGURE IT OUT, NOW I DO BELIEVE THAT MY MOTOR IS GONE. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY A CAR NOTE AND PAY REPAIR BILLS OR REPLACE A MOTOR AT THE COST OF $2000-6000 AND STILL OWE A $10,0000 BALANCE ON THE CAR. I HAVE MADE TWO COMPLAINTS ON OTHER SITES AND HOPE THAT THIS WILL HELP ALL OF US THROUGH THIS ORDEAL. I NEED TRANSPORTATION AND AS OF RIGHT NOW I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY DOWN ON ANOTHER CAR. I WILL HAVE TO FIND SOMETHING IN REASON FOR THE SAME COST OF THE REPAIR. *JB
