Consumer Description

AM WRITING ABOUT A COMPLAINT ABOUT DAIMLER-CHRYSLER'S 2.7L ENGINE IN MY 1999 DODGE INTREPID. THE TIMING CHANGE BROKE AT 89,000 MILES AND RUINED THE ENGINE. THIS IS AN ALL TO COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE - THERE ARE OVER 17,000 WEBSITES ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. DAIMLER-CHRYSLER IS COPPING OUT BY BLAMING THE CONSUMER FOR NOT CHANGING THE OIL REGULARLY AND REFUSING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE ENGINE. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP AT DAIMLER-CHRYSLER TOLD ME THEY WERE UNAWARE OF ANY PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE. I HAVE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL MECHANICS, EVEN 2 FORMER DAIMLER-CHRYSLER MECHANICS WHO ALL SAY IT IS DUE TO FAULTY ENGINE DESIGN. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
