Consumer Description

MY 2000 INTREPID WITH ONLY 77,000 HAS A BLOWN ENGINE. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHTS, AND ONLY DRIVING 15 MINUTES LOUD KNOCKING NOISES OCURRED WHICH I PULLED OVER TO INVESTIGATE AND THEN COULD NOT RESTART THE CAR. AFTER TOWING TO MY MECHANIC, HE ADVISED ME MY ENGINE WAS SO HOT HE DIDN'T KNOW HOW IT DIDN'T START ON FIRE. THE REPAIR COST IS $6000 WHICH I STILL OWE $5000 FOR THE CAR. WE DID ALL THE REQUIRED MAINTENACE SUCH AS OIL CHANGES, FILTER CHANGES, ETC. THERE IS NO REASON FOR SUCH A VAULTY MOTOR TO BE ALLOWED AND WITH 89 COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEB SITE ALONE PLUS ALL THE MOTORS COMPLAINTS THERE MUST BE OUT THERE,SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE HERE. I AM SURE IF SOMEONE CONTACT EVERY CHRYSLER'S CUSTOMER OF THESE 2.7 LITER MOTORS I AM SURE THERE WOULD BE A CLASS ACTION SUIT. PLEASE ADVISE ME ON HOW TO HAVE MY MOTOR REPAIRED BY CHRYSLER. *AK
