Consumer Description

I HAVE A DODGE INTREPID 2000 I HAVE A LOUD MOTOR KNOCK, WITH NO WARNING OF ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON AT ALL. I WAS TAKING IT DOWN THE STREET TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND IT JUST DIED, NO IT WILL NOT START. I AM TOLD THE ENGINE IS SHOT, THAT THE TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER FAILED, WHICH CAUSED IT TO KNOCK WHILE DRIVING IT. THE DEALER SAID THE ENGINE PROBLEM IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE OF OIL SLUDGE BUILD UP. I ONLY HAVE 110,000 MILES ON THIS CAR, AND IT IS ALREADY THE 2ND MOTOR THAT CHRYSLER REPLACED. *TR
