Consumer Description

THE TIMING CHAIN AND TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER STARTED MAKING A CLATTERING NOISE IN MY 2000 DODGE INTREPID, IT HAS A 2.7 DOHC V6 ENGINE IN IT AND THE MILEAGE IS JUST OVER 58,000. THE OIL HAS BEEN CHANGED EVERY 3,000 MILES AND THE CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED AT THIS LOW A MILEAGE. THERE IS A LOT OF ENGINE OIL SLUDGE BUILDUP IN THE TOP OF THE ENGINE. HE SAID THAT CHRYSLER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THESE ENGINES BUT ISN'T DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS IS COSTING ME OVER $1,000 TO GET FIXED. LUCKILY I GOT IT INTO HIS SHOP BEFORE THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE AND COMPLETELY SCREWED UP MY ENGINE. *JB
