Consumer Description

DEAR SIR: MY DODGE INTREPID ENGINE SEIZED UP ON ME WHILE DRIVING ON 5/27/04 IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD AND SOMEONE ALMOST HIT ME AS MY CAR STOPPED SUDENNLY, PLUS CARS STARTED TO PASS ME ON A ONE LANE ROAD WHICH WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED A BLOWN ENGINE WITH SLUDGE BUT IT HAD A FULL OIL PAN. HE SAID THE CAR HAD FULL OIL BUT THE ENGINE WAS NOT GETTING OIL SO IT BLEW SO IT IS A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. IT IS A DANGEROUS PRODUCT AS WELL. I BOUGHT THIS CAR ABOUT A YEAR AGO THINKING IT HAD A LIFE OF ABOUT 10 MORE YEARS AND IT WAS IN GREAT CONDITION. I MAINTAINED THE CAR AS RECOMMENDED PER THE OWNERS MANUAL AND HAD IT IN FOR SERVICE INCLUDING OIL CHANGES EVERY 3000 MILES OR 3 MONTHS. I TOOK CARE OF THIS CAR BUT DODGE DID NOT TAKE CARE OF ME BY SELLING A CAR WITH A DEFECTIVE ENGINE. I WILL DO WHATEVER I CAN TO PUNISH DODGE FOR WHAT THEY DID TO ME AND TO RECOUP MY LOSSES. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU COULD OFFER ME. THANKS, KEITH BARNES. *AK
