Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2000 DODGE INTREPID WITH 2.7 ENGINE THAT STOPPED RUNNING WHILE I WAS ON THE FREEWAY. I LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO MERGE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH NO POWER WITHOUT GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT. MY CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO A CHRYSLER DEALER. WE WERE QUOTED $6,500 FOR A NEW REBUILD ENGINE DUE TO OUR OLD ENGINE BEING FULL OF SLUDGE. OUR WARRANTY WAS 75,000 MILES AND THEY REFUSE TO HELP US. WE ARE FINDING OUT MORE AND MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHRYSLER 2.7 ENGINE AND IT'S PROBLEMS. THE DEALER WANTS YOU TO BELIEVE THE ENGINE FAILURE IS YOUR FAULT BUT IT IS CLEARLY AN ENGINE DEFECT THAT CAUSES THE SLUDGE BUILD UP. WE NOW HAVE A CAR THAT IS WORTH NOTHING BECAUSE IT ISN'T RUNNING AND STILL OWE ABOUT $9,000 ON THE LOAN. PLEASE REVIEW THIS AND OTHER COMPLAINTS AND HAVE CHRYSLER DO THE RIGHT THING AND RECALL THESE MOTORS AND HELP THE CONSUMERS. THANK YOU! *AK
