Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A 2003 DODGE INTREPID IN MAY OF 2007. SHORTLY THEREAFTER I BEGAN TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE. I HAD A TUNE UP, AND OIL CHANGE, THEN THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR WENT BAD. I HAD TO HAVE THAT REPLACED TWICE (THE FIRST SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE) THEN I NOTICED MY OIL LIGHT FLASHING DIMLY. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIR THE RESULT WAS A CLEANING OF MY OIL PICKUP TUBE AND SCREEN AND ANOTHER OIL CHANGE. I USED HIGH MILEAGE OIL AND LUCAS OIL ADDITIVE I ALSO USED PLUS GRADE GAS AND STILL THIS HAPPENED. FROM WHAT I NOW KNOW THE 2.7L V6 DOHC IS "TRASH" AS QUITE A FEW MECHANICS HAVE CALLED IT. *TR
