Consumer Description

WITHOUT WARNING MY 2.7L ENGINE SEIZED UP WHILE I WAS DRIVING CAUSING A COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL I HIT A CONCRETE POST. HIGHWAY PATROL CAME BUT DID NOT PRESS CHARGES AGAINST ME FOR PROPERTY DAMAGE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS BUT WELL DOCUMENTED DESIGN FLAW OF THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE AND I HOPE I CAN RECOVER ENOUGH MONEY FROM THE TEXAS BASED IMPARTIAL SERVICES GROUP TO BUY A NEW ENGINE BECAUSE I LOVE MY DODGE INTREPID. I'M ONLY 18 YEARS OLD AND CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER VEHICLE. JUST TWO DAYS AFTER I BOUGHT THIS INTREPID - WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ALL THE GAUGES INCLUDING THE SPEEDOMETER FAILED AND I HAD TO PAY $1414.32 TO HAVE A NEW COMPUTER INSTALLED AT MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP. *JB
