Consumer Description

MY 2001 DODGE INTREPID AT 70,000 MILES IS ALREADY SHOWING SLUDGE IN THE MOTOR EVEN THOUGH IT HAS HAD REGULAR MAINTENANCE. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE 2.7 ENGINE HAS WIDELY DOCUMENTED PROBLEMS AND THAT CHRYSLER IS WELL AWARE OF THEM. MY MECHANIC EXPLAINED TO ME THAT IT IS A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE ENGINE "BLOWS." THERE ARE NO REPLACEMENT ENGINES AND IF I DO FINE ONE, IT WILL OBVIOUSLY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. GOING TO A DIFFERENT ENGINE REQUIRES CHANGES IN THE COMPUTER ETC. MANY OF US WITH THIS PROBLEM ARE GOING TO OR HAVE ALREADY EXPERIENCED SEVERE FINANCIAL STRESS BECAUSE OF THIS. (IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT CHRYSLER HAS CHOSEN TO TAKE CARE OF THE MERCEDES CUSTOMERS!!!!!) OF COURSE THE OTHER PROBLEM IS THAT THE ENGINE COULD BLOW AT ANY TIME WHICH IS A DANGEROUS TIME BOMB TO BE CONSIDERING. I WOULD LIKE TO JOIN ANY LAWSUIT. WE DESERVE TO BE COMPENSATED FOR THIS.*AK
