Consumer Description

I OWN A 2000 DODGE INTREPID AND HAVE HAD SEVERAL MECHANICAL PROBLEMS. I HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT WHEN IT WAS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. JUST THIS PAST THURSDAY I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY ENGINE JUST STOPPED, CAUSING ALL POWERE STEERING, ETC. TO GO OUT. I HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD ME THE ENGINE WAS LOCKED UP AND ESTIMATED $3100 TO REBUILD MY ENGINE $3900 FOR USED ENGINE AND TWICE AS MUCH FOR A NEW ENGINE. GRANT IT, AT THIS POINT I'M STILL UNDECIDED AS TO WHAT I'M GOING TO DO. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT MY ENGINE OVERHEATED AND LOCKED UP. MY CAR SHOWED NO INDICATION OF OVERHEATING...NO LIGHTS CAME ON, NO TEMPERATURE GAUGE READING HOT AND NO SIGNS. MY CAR WAS DRIVING NORMALLY AND JUST STOPPED. *AK
