NHTSA Complaint #10121945 — 2001 DODGE INTREPID

2001 DODGE INTREPID, 2.7 LITER, BOUGHT IN JULY 2001 FROM DODGE AND WAS A ONE PERSON OWNER. IT HAD, WHEN WE BOUGHT IT, 28,000 AND STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRENTY. WE BOUGHT THE EXTENDED WARRENTY OF 100,000 7YEARS. ENGINE TAPPING, TOOK TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND WAS BLAMED ON NOT CHANGING OUR OIL PROPERLY. HAD TO GET IT FIXED. WE TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC THAT WORKED ON IT ENOUGH TO WERE WE COULD DRIVE IT AND AT THE TIME THOUGHT IT WAS FIXED FOR GOOD. COME TO FIND OUT THIS WAS ONLY A TEMP FIX. AT THE TIME WE WERE NOT AWARE OF THE ALL THE PROBLEMS THE 2.7 LITER ENGINES WERE HAVING. JUST RECENTLY STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT AGAIN AND THIS TIME IT IS SO BAD WE CANNOT DRIVE IT. DODGE REFUSED TO HONOR THEIR WARRENTY AND ME AS A CUSTOMER AM OF THE OPION THAT THIS IS WRONG. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT CRYSLER/DODGE HAVE ADMITTED TO THE PROBLEM AND MODIFIED THE ENGINE. WELL, IF THEY ADMITTED TO THE PROBLEM THEY SHOULD BE FIXING THEIR CARS.
