Consumer Description

I HAVE A 98 DODGE INTREPID READY TO BE RE-POSSESSED. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2001 WITH 53000 MILES ON IT. 2 YEARS LATER THE ENGINE BLEW WITH NO WARNING AS I WAS GETTING OFF I-95. IT COST ME $4200 TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. A YEAR LATER THE 2ND ENGINE BLEW AND AGAIN WITH NO WARNING AS I WAS DRIVING ON I 95. I REPLACED THE ENGINE AGAIN AT $2400 BECAUSE I STILL OWED MONEY ON MY LOAN. THE SECOND ENGINE LASTED ABOUT ANOTHER YEAR AND NOW OVERHEATS AFTER DRIVING IT FOR A HALF HOUR. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT THE HEADS ARE BAD AND THE ENGINE IS CRACKED. I WILL NOT PUT A 3RD ENGINE IN THIS CAR. I STILL OWE $5000 ON MY LOAN AND CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY FOR IT ANY MORE SINCE I WENT AND BOUGHT A 2001 HONDA THAT I NEED TO GET TO AND FROM WORK. *JB
