Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2000 DODGE INTREPID WITH A 2.7L V6 ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS PROPERLY MAINTAINED AND ONLY HAS 44,000 MILES ON IT AND NEVER TRAVELED FARTHER THAN 300 MILES ON ANY TRIP. I STOPPED THE VEHICLE AT A LOCAL STORE AND WHEN I RETURNED IT WOULD NOT START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL GARAGE WHO WOULD NOT WORK ON IT BECAUSE THEY EXPECTED IT TO BE THE TIMING CHAIN WHICH THEY SAID WAS A COMMON OCCURANCE WITH THIS MODEL DUE TO A DESIGN DEFICIENCY. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO CONFIRMED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE AND THE ENGINE WAS FULL OF SLUDGE AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACE. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE FOR A CAR WITH ONLY 44000 MILES. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE NHTS SITE AND HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR REPORTS FOR THE SAME ENGINE. MY LAWYER HAS RECOMMENDED WE BEGIN A CLASS ACTION SUIT.
