NHTSA Complaint #10178094 — 2002 DODGE INTREPID

OIL LIGHT COMING ON AT IDLE AND THEN GOING OF WHEN PRESSING GAS. LOUD TICKING NOISE IN ENGINE. 66600 MILES ON VEHICLE OF THIS 66600 I PUT 49000 ON VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD THE ENGINE DIAGNOSED AND IT NEEDS A NEW ENGINE. FAULTY ENGINE, IT WILL COST SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS JUST TO TRY TO REPAIR THE ENGINE AND NEW ONE COST 4000 TO 8000 DOLLARS. THIS VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS AND I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF OTHERS WITH THIS PARTICULAR MOTOR THAT DAIMLER CHRYSLER MAKES WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND MILEAGE HAS NO EFFECT OR HOW OFTEN IT IS MAINTAINED. I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THIS MOTOR AND DAIMLER CHRYSLER WILL NOT HONOR NOR OFFER WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM AND BLAMES THE CONSUMERS. I REQUEST AN INVESTIGATION, THESE ARE LEMON CARS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. WHAT IF MY CHILDREN AND I WERE KILLED BECAUSE OF AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS ENGINE FAILURE? MAYBE THAT'S WHAT IT WILL TAKE FOR SOMEONE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. IT IS NOT FAIR TO THE CONSUMERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*JB
