Consumer Description

NO WARNING--OTHER THAN A PROBLEM WITH THE HEAT THAT WE DIDN'T REALIZE WAS RELATED UNTIL AFTER. AS MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE CAR HOME, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY DIED, IN TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A MECHANIC, WHO INFORMED US THAT THE CAR HAD AN ENGINE SLUDGE PROBLEM, LIKE MANY OTHER INTREPIDS HE HAD SEEN, AND IT WOULD COST US ROUGHLY $6,000 TO REPLACE IT. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY SITTING AT THE MECHANIC'S BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE AN EXTRA SIX GRAND LAYING AROUND, SO IT IS INTACT IN IT'S UNREPAIRED STATE. I FEEL IT COULD HAVE BEEN A HORRIBLE NIGHTMARE HAD TRAFFIC BEEN HEAVIER AND ONE OF MY KIDS HAD BEEN DRIVING. THIS IS A REAL PERSONAL INJURY DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN TO OTHER INTREPID OWNERS.*AK
