Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2000 DODGE INTREPID AND I BOUGHT IT FROM EXTREME DODGE IN JACKSON MI IN 2001. IN JUNE 2005 I WAS DRIVING AND IT STARTED MAKE THIS AWFUL NOISE SO I PULLED OF INTO A PARKING LOT AND TURNED IT OFF CALLED MY HUSBAND AND WHEN HE GOT THERE THE CAR WOULDN'T START SO WE HAD THE CAR TOWED HOME AND HAD OUR MECHANIC COME OVER TO CHECK IT OUT AND HE TOLD US THE TIMING CHAIN WHEN OUT. SO WE BOUGHT THE PARTS AND HAD HIM TAKE CARE OF IT. THEN I DROVE IT FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN SO THIS TIME WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND HAD THEM FIX IT THIS TIME. AGAIN DROVE IT FOR ABOUT 18 MONTHS AND NOW IT IS BROKE DOWN AGAIN SAME THING. I CANT AFFORD TO KEEP PUTTING TIMING CHAINS IN THIS CAR EVERY 8 TO 10 MONTHS AT 1,800 TO 2,300 DOLLARS A POP. AND I HEAR SO MANY PEOPLE SAY HOW BAD THE INTEREPIDS ARE KNOWN FOR THIS PROBLEMS. WELL I WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOW THIS BEFORE I BOUGHT THE CAR BECAUSE I NEVER WOULD HAVE BOUGHT IT. *TR
