Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2001 DODGE INTREPID. AT THE BEGINNING OF 2004 I WAS DRIVING WITH MY TODDLER AND MY CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. WE WERE STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER. I HAD IT TOWED TO A GARAGE AND THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT MY TIMING CHAIN BROKE AND MY ENGINE WAS FILLED WITH OIL SLUGE. WE ALWAYS CHANGED OUR OIL AT 3,000 MILES BUT I NEVER THOUGHT TO SAVE THE RECIEPTS. WHEN I CONTACTED DODGE THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE MY WARRANTY WAS UP AND MY CAR HAD ALMOST 100,000 MILES. MY CAR WAS REPAIRED AND 2 MONTHS LATER MY CAR DIED AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE GARAGE SAID THAT MY CAR WAS CONTINUING TO BE FULL OF OIL SLUDGE. I OWE 12,000 ON MY CAR AND THE GARAGE TOLD ME THAT IT WILL CONTINUE TO DO THIS THE ENTIRE TIME I OWN MY CAR.
