Consumer Description

DT: CONTACT STATES WHILE DRIVING 2001 DODGE INTREPID, THE ENGINE FAILED. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED, THE ONLY EVIDENCE THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WAS WAS A GRAY MIST THAT CAME THROUGH THE AIR CONDITION VENT INSIDE VEHICLE.

THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS CRACKED. DEALER HAD NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THE ENGINE FAILED. THEY DID SAY THIS HAPPENED DUE TO SLUDGE BUILD UP IN THE ENGINE FROM CONVENTIONAL OIL BEING USED IN THE VEHICLE. CONSUMER DID NOT KNOW TO USE SYNTHETIC OIL IN HIS VEHICLE. *THE CONSUMER DOES NOT HAVE THE ADDRESS FOR THE DEALER WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED.*AK
