Consumer Description

WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS ON HIS WAY TO WORK FROM OUR HOME IN YACOLT WA. HEADING TO SALEM OR., THE ENGINE IN OUR 2000 DODGE INTREPID QUIT WITHOUT WARNING, HE WAS ON I-205 AT 5:00 AM IN THE DARK HE EASILY COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED AS WELL AS ENDANGERED OTHERS ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS VEHICLE HAD BEEN MAINTAINED VERY WELL AND WE HAVE OWNED SINCE 17,00 MILES. I NOW AM AWARE THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO AND YET THE DAIMLER-CHRYSLER CORP. HAS NOT ACTED TO INFORM THE CONSUMERS THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM OR A SAFETY ISSUE. WE HAVE THREE CHILDREN WHO UP UNTIL TWO MONTHS AGO WERE ALWAYS IN THIS VEHICLE WITH ME BECAUSE IT WAS MY DAILY DRIVER. IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED QUITE EASILY WHILE MY CHILDREN WERE IN THE CAR ON A MAJOR ROADWAY. *NM
