NHTSA Complaint #10107524 — 2000 DODGE INTREPID

AT UNDER 60,000 MILES ON MY 2000 DODGE INTREPID, W/2.7L V-6 ENGINE DEVELOPED AN EXTREMELY LOUD ENGINE KNOCK. IN SPEAKING WITH OTHERS IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY, THAT MAKE THEIR LIVING WORKING ON CARS, THEY'VE ALL TOLD ME THAT "YES, THIS IS INDEED A PROBLEM WITH THAT ENGINE", AND THAT THEY'RE PERSONALLY AWARE OF NUMEROUS OTHERS THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FATE. CHRYSLER CORP IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT WHATSOEVER, AND I'M LEFT WITH A NON WORKING CAR THAT I STILL OWE $4,000 ON, AND FOR A NEW ENGINE, I'M LOOKING AT CLOSE TO $6,500, AND THE CAR CAN'T BE SOLD FOR THAT MUCH. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO GET CHRYSLER CORP TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE, AND HONOR THEIR NAME, AND PAY FOR OR REIMBURSE THE THOUSANDS OF CONSUMERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THEIR VEHICLES. JUST DO A SEARCH ON THE INTERNET, AND YOU'LL FIND ENDLESS COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME EXACT THING, LOW MILEAGE ENGINE FAILURES ON THAT PARTICULAR ENGINE, THE 2.7 L V-6. *NM
