Consumer Description

WE HAVE A 2000 DODGE INTREPID WITH 68000 MILES ON IT. WE WERE IN NORTH CAROLINA ON VACATION AND THE CAR JUST QUIT FOR NO REASON. WE HAD IT TOWED TWICE AND THE LAST TIME WAS TO DODGE DEALER ON TOLD US IT WOULD COST AROUND $900.00 TO FIX IT BUT COULD NOT GIVE US THEIR WORD THAT THIS WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. THE FELT THAT THE ENGINE COULD BE DAMAGED. WE ENDED UP RENTING A U-HAUL WITH A CAR DOLLY TO GET THIS CAR BACK TO OHIO. WE WERE IN THIS U-HAUL FOR 14 AND HALF HOURS. IT WAS VERY HARD TO PULL IN THE MOUNTAINS OF NC,VIRGINIA AND WV. I FEEL THAT THIS WAS A VERY TRAFFIC HAZARD CONSIDERING THAT WOULD COULD NOT GET IT UP THE MOUNTAINS PAST 50 MILES A HOUR ON BUSY HIGHWAYS. NO ONE SEEMS TO WANT TO HELP US WITH THE CAR. WE HAVE SPENT $1000.00 TO JUST GET THIS CAR TO OUR HOME AND NOW WE FIND OUT THAT WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THESE 2.7 LITER ENGINES. WE HAVE NOT FIXED THE CAR YET BECAUSE WE NOW DO NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES TO PUT A COMPLETE ENGINE IN THIS CAR, WHICH SEEMS TO BE THE NORM FOR THESE CARS. SO THEREFORE WE ARE PAYING FOR A CAR THAT IS NOT RUNNING. DODGE IS TRYING TO SAY THAT PEOPLE DID NOT TAKE CARE OF THE MANTAINCE ON THESE CARS AND WE ARE AT FAULT FOR THE ENGINE BEING JUNK. THIS IS BS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER FOR LOTS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE THESE 2.7 LITER MOTORS.
