Consumer Description

I BOUGHT A DODGE INTREPID IN APRIL 08. IT HAD 53,000 MILES, IN GREAT CONDITION AND SPOTLESS CARFAX. THE CAR STARTED MAKING PROBLEMS AT 57000 MILES. IT OVERHEATED, SO WE GOT THE RADIATOR FIXED WHICH SOLVED MY PROBLEM FOR A WEEK OR SO. AFTER THAT WEEK, WHILE DRIVING ON THE LONG ISLAND EXPRESSWAY MY ENGINE QUIT ON ME, AND STARTED STEAMING WHEN TRYING TO TURN IT BACK ON. THERE WAS NO WARNING OF THAT HAPPENING WHATSOEVER. NO LIGHTS ON, NO ENGINE OVERHEATING, NOTHING. I HAD TO GET THE CAR TOWED TO A MECHANIC, WHO TOLD ME THE ENGINE WAS BROKEN BEYOND REPAIR, AND WE DONATED THE CAR. *TR
