Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A 1999 DODGE INTREPID WITH A 2.7L ENGINE LESS THAN A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. I MAINTAINED REGULAR OIL CHANGES AND HAD NO PROBLEMS UNTIL ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE STARTED JERKING AND CHUGGING AND WOULD NO LONGER START. SEVERAL MECHANICS CHECKED THE CAR ONLY TO TELL ME THAT I WOULD NEED A NEW ENGINE WHICH WOULD COST $4000-$6000 DOLLARS TO REBUILD AND INSTALL. EVERY MECHANIC THAT I HAVE CALLED OR TALKED IMMEDIATELY TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A BADLY MANUFACTURED ENGINE AND THAT THESE ENGINES USUALLY DO NOT LAST PAST 60 OR 70,000 MILES. KNOW I AM WITHOUT A CAR AND OUT OF $5000 DOLLARS WHICH IS WHAT I PAID FOR THE CAR, AND NEED ANOTHER $5000 TO REPAIR THE ENGINE. *AK
