Consumer Description

MY DODGE INTREPID 2003 WITH THE 2002 2.7 LITER MODEL ENGINE LOCKED UP ON ME FOR NO REASON AT 76,000 MILES APX. I SPOKE WITH ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL WITH THE SAME ENGINE AND IT LOCKED UP AT 15,000 MILES. LUCKILY I WAS NOT IN THE MAIN ROAD, BUT I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF PULLING OUT INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION AND MAY HAVE NOT TURNED OUT GOOD. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION AND WHEN COMING TO A STOP THE ENGINE JUST LOCKS UP AND IT WOULDN'T EVEN TURN OVER AGAIN. I HAD TO HAVE LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT HELP ME GET THE VEHICLE OFF OF THE ROADWAY, WHICH HAPPEN TO BE PASSING BY AT THE TIME. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY SITTING DEAD IN THE DRIVEWAY. I WAS ALWAYS UNDER THE IMPRESSION CHRYSLER PRODUCTS WERE GOOD AND DEPENDABLE AND THIS WILL PROBABLY BE THE LAST TIME I BUY ONE OF THEIR PRODUCTS DUE TO THIS. *TR
