Consumer Description

(1) I WAS DRIVING MY 2000 DODGE INTREPID AND A CLICKING NOISE BEGAN TO COME FROM THE ENGINE AREA. THE CLICKING NOISE PROCEEDED TO GET LOUDER AND LOUDER AT WHICH POINT I PARKED THE CAR IN A PARKING LOT AND CALLED A RELATIVE TO PICK ME UP. I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THIS PREVIOUSLY OWNED VEHICLE FROM CARMAX IN 2001 WITH 20,000 MILES. THE CAR NOW HAS 80,000 MILES AND HAS RECEIVED REGULAR MAINTENANCE. (2) I HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED TO A LOCAL SHOP AND WAS INFORMED THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO SLUDGE BUILDUP IN THE ENGINE. TWO OTHER LOCAL SHOPS ALSO SUGGESTED REPLACING THE ENGINE DUE TO THE SAME REASON. I WAS FURTHER NOTIFIED THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ENGINE PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. (3) CURRENTLY, I AM GETTING ENGINE REPLACED WITH REMANUFACTURED ENGINE FOR AROUND $4,900. *AK
