Consumer Description

I OWN A 2000 DODGE INTREPID. I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE STALLING. PLUS WHITE SMOKE WOULD COME OUT OF THE EXHAUST. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED IT WAS A FUEL SENSOR. THEY REPLACED THE SENSOR, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. IN FACT, IT GOT WORST. I TOOK THE CAR TO A DIFFERENT DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED ME THAT THE ENGINE WAS BAD DUE TO SLUDGE BUILD UP DUE TO THE OIL NOT BEING CHANGED. I FOUND THIS VERY HARD TO BELIEVE. I CHANGED THE OIL AND FILTER EVERY 3000 MILES. THE GUY AT THE DEALERSHIP WANTED ME TO PROVIDE RECEIPTS OF THE OIL CHANGES. I ADVISED HIM I DID THE OIL CHANGES MYSELF. I DO NOT KEEP RECEIPTS FOR OIL AND OIL FILTERS. EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO FIX THE ENGINE. THEY ADVISED THE REPAIR WOULD COST OVER $7000.00. DAIMLER CHRYSLER SHOULD RECALL THIS ENGINE.
