Consumer Description

MY DODGE INTREPID SHOWED NO SIGNS OF ANY PROBLEMS, TIMELY OIL CHANGES ,BUT ON THIS EARLY MORNING WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON THE EXPRESSWAY. THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THEN SUDDEN ENGINE SHUT DOWN ,LUCKY FOR ME THAT THERE WASN'T ANY TRAFFIC ON THE ROAD OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS CAR CRASH. CAR TOWED TO AUTO SHOP. THEY SAID THAT THIS TYPE OF DODGE ENGINE HAS A SERIOUS DEFECT WITH THE ENGINE. THE TENSIONER OIL PORT IS TOO NARROW AND IT GETS PLUGGED WITH OIL SLUDGE WHICH CAUSES ENGINE FAILURE. *NM
