Consumer Description
2000 INTREPID W/54K MILES BLEW (2) HOLES IN THE TIMING CHAIN COVERS WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY ROUTE 422 IN OHIO AT 11 PM 2/5/06. TOWED CAR IN FOR REPAIRS AND SLUDGE BUILD UP WAS UNDER THE VALVE COVERS. PURCHASED CAR FROM HALPER CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP ON 2/17/05. WE ONLY ADDED 13K MILES ON IT IN 12 MONTHS. WE DID REGULAR OIL CHANGES BUT IT STILL BUILT UP SLUDGE IN THE MOTOR. OUR 19 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING OUR CAR BACK TO COLLEGE WHEN IT BLEW. WE ARE GLAD HE IS SAFE AND HE IS A STRONG ENOUGH YOUNG MAN TO HOLD THE WHEEL WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THE ADD ON WARRANTY WE PURCHASED WILL NOT COVER THIS REPAIR SINCE IT APPEARS THE OIL WAS NOT CHANGED REGULARLY SO WE NOW HAVE A $7K IN REPAIRS TO MAKE OR A $7K DRIVEWAY ORNAMENT UNTIL IT'S PAID OFF. *NM
