Consumer Description

(1) DRIVING NORMALLY WITH REGULAR OIL CHANGES 3000 MILES OR LESS. (2) DRIVING ON INTERSTATE WITH INFANT AND SELF AND CAR SEIZED UP AND CONTROL AND BRAKES WENT OUT!!!!! (3) TOLD WILL NEED NEW 2.7 ENGINE. SEEMS THAT IT'S COMMON KNOWLEDGE THAT THE 2.7L ENGINE IN THE DODGE INTREPID IS NO GOOD BECAUSE OF OIL FLOW PROBLEMS. DODGE HAS SO FAR AVOIDED HAVING TO PAY FOR THE NEGLECT. PLEASE DO SOMETHING!! THISE IS SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS!!!!! I'M A FAIRLY LARGE LADY THANK GOODNESS. IF I HAD BEEN JUST A LITTLE WEAKER THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO WAY THAT I COULD HAVE STOPPED THAT BIG BEAST OF AN INTREPID. THE ENGINE JUST QUITE ON ME AND THE POWER TO THE STEERING AND THE BRAKES ALL WERE USLESS. I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE WITH MY NEW BORN SON!! EVEN THE SCDOT GENTLEMAN ON DUTY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED, HE ACTUALLY TOLD ME!!! NOW IF EVERY MECHANIC AND EVERYONE FAMILIAR EVEN A LITTLE WITH THE INTREPID KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 2.7L ENGINE IN THE DODGE INTREPID THEN WHY OH WHY IS DODGE NOT RECALLING THEM??? IS IT ALL ABOUT MONEY AGAIN IT SEEMS TO ME THEY STAND TO LOOSE FAR FAR MORE IN THE LOST SALES OF THE FUTURE FOR NOT OWNING UP TO THEIR ERROR. IT REALLY BOTHERS ME THAT MY LIFE AND ESPECIALLY MY NEW BORN SONS LIFE IS LESS IMPORTANT TO THEM THEN THIS!!! THANK YOU FOR TAKING CARE OF THIS MATTER.
