NHTSA Complaint #10180741 — 2004 DODGE INTREPID

I OWN A 2004 DODGE INTREPID WHICH I HAVE HAD FOR 2 YEARS. I WAS DRIVING TO WORK A WEEK AGO WHEN I LOOKED DOWN MY OIL LIGHT WAS ON. THEN AFTER THAT MY CAR COMPLETELY DIED. I TRIED TO JUMP IT, BUT IT WOULDN'T GO. IT WAS ALSO -1 OUTSIDE. I THEN HAD MY CAR TOWED TO A PLACE TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT. THEY CALLED ME BACK AND TOLD ME THAT MY ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY SHOT. THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO REPLACE IT. SOMETHING TO DO WITH LACK OF LUBRICATION INSIDE THE ENGINE. NOTHING TO DO WITH ME. I HAD OIL IN THE ENGINE. THE REASON FOR MY COMPLAINT IS THAT WHEN I CALLED TO GET SOME HELP FROM SOMEONE THEY HAD TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T HELP ME DUE TO THE FACT I DIDN'T BRING IT TO WHERE THEY TOLD ME TO. I STILL OWE 9,000 AND NOW I HAVE TO TAKE OUT ANOTHER LOAN TO COVER THE COST OF THE ENGINE WHICH IS 5,300. I ONLY HAD 105,000 MILES ON THE CAR. I THINK IT SHOULD NOT MATTER WHERE YOU BRING YOU CAR TO HAVE IT WORKED ON. I THINK WE SAY IT'S A FREE COUNTRY AND WE CAN CHOOSE SO MANY THINGS, BUT WHEN YOU HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET TO WORK DUE TO A ENGINE BEING REPLACED IS CRAZY!! I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A DODGE INTREPID. I THOUGHT THAT DODGE WAS A GOOD COMPANY BUT WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT THEY ARE TERRIBLE. I THINK THAT THEY COULD OFFER TO HELP OUT WITH THE COST OF THE NEW MOTOR, BUT I DIDN'T GO WHERE THEY TOLD ME TO SO NOW I HAVE TO SUFFER. I AM NOT BACKING UP DODGE AT ALL. I AM VERY ANGRY WITH THEM. IT'S NOT MY FAULT THAT THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE A ENGINE, BUT I AM THE ONE WHO SUFFERS. NOT THEM. *JB
