Consumer Description

IN JUNE OF 2004, MY 1998 DODGE INTREPID STALLED DURING NORMAL HIGHWAY DRIVING DURING MID AFTERNOON DRIVING. LUCKLY, WE WERE ABLE TO SAFELY STEER THE CAR ONTO A OFFRAMP. IF THIS HAPPENED DURING RUSH HOUR, THERE WAS A GOOD 99% CHANCE THAT MY CHILDREN WOULD HAVE LOST A PARENT THAT DAY! AFTER TOWING THE CAR INTO A REPAIR SHOP, WE LATER FOUND OUT THAT WE NEEDED A NEW ENGINE (OIL SLUDGE PROBLEM, $5000)! DURING RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND NHTSA, I FOUND OUT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH INTREPIDS. I HOPE SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE, DODGE WILL OWN UP TO THIS MISTAKE.*AK
