Consumer Description

MY NAME IS [XXX] AND I OWN A 1997 DODGE INTREPID W/86K MILES. I HAVE WELL CARED FOR THIS VEHICLE. THIS PAST WEEKEND, I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE ENGINE SEIZED/QUIT ISSUE WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH ON THE EXPRESSWAY WITH MY TWO KIDS. I FIGURED IT WAS THE HEAT; SO I LET IT COOL DOWN. STARTED BACK ON OUR ROAD TRIP.. WHICH IT HAPPENED AGAIN 10 MILES LATER. MIND YOU; THERE WAS A FULL TANK OF GAS FROM SHELL, RECENT OIL CHANGE AND FUEL FILTER CHANGE. ONE YEAR EARLIER, I HAVE REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT/INJECTION RAIL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE AT CHRYSLER-DODGE BUT THE RECALL FOR THIS YEAR IS ONLY WITH THE 3.5 ENGINE; NOT THE 3.3 ENGINE-SO THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR AT THE DEALERSHIP. THANK GOD MY OLDER MOTHER WASN'T DRIVING THE CAR; FOR SHE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE MANUAL STEERING AND ABLE TO GET THE CAR SAFELY TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT CAUSING A SEVERE ACCIDENT. I JUST WANTED TO BE HEARD AND SHARE MY STORY W/YOU. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
