Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2001 DODGE INTREPID WITH APPROX 70K MILES. I HAD NO WARNING ANYTHING WAS WRONG AND WHEN I STOPPED TO PICK UP MY 6 YEAR OLD CHILD THE CAR NEVER STARTED AGAIN. I BROUGHT IT TO A LOCAL (TRUSTWORTHY) MECHANIC AND AFTER A 215.10 BILL I WAS TOLD MY ENGINE FAILED AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY APPROX 5K TO REPAIR IT. MY MECHANIC ASKED IF I KEPT UP ON THE OIL CHANGES AND I STATED THAT I DID. AFTER RESEARCH HIMSELF HE INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE 2.7 ENGINES. I STILL OWE ON THE VEHICLE 5K AND I AM A SINGLE PARENT AND NOW HAVE NO CAR AND STILL PAYING ON IT. *NM
