Consumer Description

I BOUGHT MY 2000 DODGE INTREPID IN OCTOBER OF 2000. WITHIN 2 YEARS I HAD THE INNER TIE RODS AND WEATHER STRIPPING/DOOR TRIM REPLACED. WHENEVER I WOULD TAKE MY CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE EVERY 3000 MILES, THE MECHANIC WOULD NOTIFY ME OF SLUDGE BUILD UP. NOW THE ENGINE IS GONE. BEYOND REPAIR WITH ONLY 94,000 MILE LEFT ON THE CAR. THIS WAS JUST AFTER I PAID TO REPLACE AN EVAPORATOR COIL THAT WAS LEAKING AND THE INNER TIE RODS FOR THE SECOND TIME. I ALSO PAID OVER $200 TO REPLACE THE WEATHER STRIPPING FOR THE SECOND TIME. I HAVE REPLACED A RADIATOR THAT WAS LEAKING AND A SHIFT CABLE THAT HAD SEIZED UP PREVENTING MY CAR FROM SHIFTING INTO GEAR. I FIGURE THOSE WERE DUE TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR BUT THE ENGINE IS WHAT REALLY BLOWS MY MIND WITH SUCH LOW MILES AND REGULAR MAINTANENCE. PLEASE HELP. *TR
