Consumer Description

MY 2004 INTREPID HAS NOT FAILED BUT IT IS SHOWING SOME OF THE SAME SIGNS AS MANY OTHERS HAVE DESCRIBED. ABOUT 3 OR 4 MONTHS AGO MY ENGINE OIL LIGHT STARTED COMING ON WHILE THE CAR WAS SITTING AT IDLE OR GOING AT A SLOW SPEED. RECENTLY THE CAR HAS STARTED NOT BEING ABLE TO COME OUT OF SECOND GEAR UNTIL IT HAS RAN FOR A WHILE. IT ALSO KNOCKS WHILE I AM AT A STOP. I AM ON A FIXED INCOME AND REPLACING AN ENGINE IS SOMETHING I CANNOT AFFORD TO DO. WHAT CAN BE DONE RIGHT NOW TO AVOID THIS WHOLE SITUATION? WHY IS THE 2.6L V6 ENGINE SO TERRIBLE? THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THIS 2004 INTREPID FROM HAS BEEN BOUGHT OUT AND IS UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT. I DO NOT WANT TO END UP WITH A CAR PAYMENT BUT NO CAR. *TR
