Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2000 DODGE INTREPID THAT I BOUGHT IN OCTOBER OF 2003, IN SEPTEMBER OF 2004 THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULDN'T GO OFF. AFTER SPENDING $900.00 AND 2 TOWING BILLS THE DODGE DEALER FINALLY GOT THE LIGHT TO STAY OFF BY REPLACING THE CAM AND CRANK SENSORS. APPROX 6 1/2 MONTHS LATER IN APRIL OF 2005 WHILE DRIVING AT 20 MILES PER HOUR THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING A LOUD CLICKING NOISE. I TOOK IT TO MY REGULAR MECHANIC THAT TOLD ME A ROD HAD BLOWN IN THE ENGINE.HE TOLD ME IT WOULD PROBABLY RUN ME AROUND $5000.00 TO REPAIR. HE ALSO SAID HE'S HEARD ABOUT ALOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THESE ENGINES. I THINK DODGE SHOULD BE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ESPECIALLY AFTER I SEE BY YOUR COMPLAINT LIST I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE. I STILL OWE ALMOST AS MUCH AS THEY SAY IT WILL COST ME TO REPAIR IT.
