NHTSA Complaint #10091254 — 1999 DODGE INTREPID

MY 1999 DODGE INTREPID HAD SLUDGE IN THE OIL MAKING THE ENGINE IN THE CAR DEFECTIVE. I RECENTLY SAW THE REPORT ON WLS IN CHICAGO AND I WOULD LIKE SOME ANSWERES. THIS CAR WAS VERY WELL MAINTAINED AND THIS SHOULD HAVE NOT HAPPENED. I WOULD LIKE THE MAKERS TO AT LEAST HE A RECALL FOR THE REPAIRS MY CAR NEEDS CONSIDERING THAT THE ENGINE THAT THEY PUT INTO THESE CARS ARE NOT EQUIPPED TO HANDLE TE SIZE OF THIS VEHICALE. WE ALSO HAVE 4 OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS WITH THIS TYPE OF CAR AND I'M AFRAID THAT THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO THEM. I'M NOT ALONE THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE, I'M SURE THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TO THEM AS WELL, BUT WITH ALL THESE PEOPLE REPORTING THE SAME SLUDGEAND THE 2.7 ENGINES IN THESE CARS GOING OUT, THIS IS A DEFECTIVE ENGINE IN THIS CAR. WHAT CAN I DO WITH THE HELP OF YOU TO GET MY CAR RUNING AGAIN. MY FAMILY NEEDS THIS CAR. RIGHT NOW IT IS SITTING IN A SHOP BECAUSE TO GET ANOTHER ENGINE COSTS UP TO IF NOT MORE THAN $5,000.00 WHICH WE DO NOT HAVE, AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE DEALER CONSIDERING THAT THE ENGINS IS WRONG FOR THE CAR. CAN YOU PLEASE CONTACT AND HELP ME WITH THIS DEFECT THANK YOU. *AK
