Consumer Description

ON JUNE 13, 2005, MY 2001 DODGE INTERPID 2.7 L ENGINE FAILED ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. THE CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL DODGE DELAERSHIP WHERE IT WAS TO BE LOOKED AT. THE MECHANIC SUPERVISOR INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS SLUDGE IN THE ENGINE AND THAT THE ENGINE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED--COSTING SEVERAL THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. HE TOLD ME THAT THE DELAERSHIP HAD REPLACED FOUR OR FIVE 2.7L DODGE ENGINES ALREADY. I WAS TOLD THAT THE 2.7L HAS LOTS OF FLAWS AND DEFECTS THAT I WAS NOT TOLD OF UPON PURCHASING. I STILL OWE MONEY ON THE CAR AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO TRADE A VEHICLE IN WHEN IT WON'T EVEN START. RIGHT NOW, I AM OUT A VEHICLE AS WELL AS MONEY.
