Consumer Description

WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE INTERSTATE THE ENGINE BEGAN KNOCKING ON MY 2001 INTREPID. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO GARAGE THEY SAID ENGINE WAS FULL OF SLUDGE AND NEEDED REBUILT OR REPLACED WE CHANGED THE OIL EVERY 3000-4000 MILES UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION THIS IS KNOWN TO BE A CHRYSLER PROBLEM BUT THEY REFUSE TO FIX THE PROBLEM THE ONLY WAY THEY WANT TO HELP IS THAVE IT TOWED TO GARAGE AND CHARGE YOU FOR INSPECTION AND THEN WANT YOU TO PAY 5000.00 TO 9000.00 TO REPAIR IT IS A HOAX I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR 2 YEARS NOW IT IS UNDRIVEABLE AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX IT. I OWN A COMPANY AND HAVE SEVERAL DOD GE AUTOS IF THIS IS THE WAY THEY ARE GOING TO SOLVE PROBLEMS I WILL BE SWITCHING MAKES OF CARS I BUY IN THE FUTURE. *AK
