Consumer Description

I HAVE BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY ENGINE OIL LIGHT FLASHING AT RANDOM. ALSO THE OIL JUST SEEMS TO DISAPPEAR INTO THIN AIR. I HAVE HAD THE OIL SIGNET UNIT REPLACED AND I FOLLOW REGULAR OIL CHANGE SCHEDULES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE AUTO MECHANIC ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS DUE TO SMALL OIL LEAKS. I HAVE HEARD HORRIFYING STORIES CONCERNING THE 2001 DODGE INTREPID AND THEIR ENGINE FAILURES. I HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE TRUE BECAUSE AS OF RIGHT NOW TWO OF MY CO-WORKER'S 2001 DODGE INTREPIDS ARE SITTING ON OUR COLLEGE CAMPUS DUE TO ENGINE FAILURES. I AM SO TERRIFIED OF DRIVING THIS CAR. MY JOB REQUIRES THAT I DO A LOT OF TRAVELING AND I ONLY HAVE THIS ONE VEHICLE. BASED ON MY RESEARCH IN THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS THAT CHRYSLER IS WELL AWARE OF THIS MAJOR DEFECT AND SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. *NM
