Consumer Description

THE ENGINE IN MY 1999 DODGE INTREPID FAILED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WITH NO WARNINGS WHATSOEVER. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT NOT A DEFAULT, BUT IT WAS THE FACT THAT THE OIL NEEDS TO BE CHANGED EVERY 3000 MILES ON POINT AND USE 5W 30 OIL. IF THIS IS TRUE, WHY WAS THIS INFORMATION NOT INCLUDED IN THE MANUAL OR EVEN RELAYED TO US BEFORE WE BOUGHT THE CAR. IF YOU KNOW THAT OIL HAS TO BE CHANGED EVERY 3000 MILES EXACTLY, SHOULDN'T THERE BE A SENSOR THAT LETS YOU KNOW THAT. WHO WOULD BUY A CAR IF THEY WERE TOLD THAT YOUR ENGINE WOULD MALFUNCTION IF YOU GO OVER 3000 MILES WITHOUT AN OIL CHANGE . IN MY OPINION , THIS IS A DEFECT. *JB
