Consumer Description

IN JULY OF 2007 I BOUGHT A 1999 DODGE INTREPID FOR MY DAUGHTER'S FIRST CAR. I PAID 3,000.00 FOR IT FROM AN ELDERLY LADY IN TOWN. WITHIN 2 MONTHS THE TIMING CHAIN SNAPPED AND WOUND ITSELF AROUND INSIDE THE ENGINE AND BLEW THROUGH THE CAM COVER. IT WAS TOWED TO A SERVICE STATION AND THE ENGINE WAS TAKEN APART. I WAS TOLD THAT THE 2.7 L ENGINES ARE NOTED FOR OVERHEATING CAUSING OIL SLUDGE TO BUILD UP AND THE TIMING CHAINS TO BREAK. I WAS ALSO TOLD IT WOULD COST ME 4400.00 TO REPLACE THE ENGINE WITH A USED ONE.*JB UPDATED 12-12-07. *KB UPDATED *JB
