Consumer Description

I GOT MY CAR IN 2004 WITH APPX 30,000 MILES ON IT. EVERY SINCE I GOT IT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD GO ON AND OFF. JUST RECENTLY THE VEHICLE STARTED MAKING A LOUD NOISE WHEN I DRIVE IT SO I TOOK IT TO 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICS AND THEY ALL CONFIRMED THAT I NEED A NEW ENGINE AND STATED THAT THIS IS TYPICAL OF A 2.7 ENGINE FROM CHRYSLER/DODGE. ONE OF THE MECHANICS STATED THAT HE REPAIRED 3 DIFFERENT DODGE INTREPIDS IN THE LAST QUARTER OF LAST YEAR FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD QUITE A FEW THINGS REPLACED ON THIS CAR BUT NOW I HAVE TO GET A NEW ENGINE? I STILL OWE APPX $5,000 ON MY CAR AND B/C IT IS A DODGE WITH A LOT OF MILES ON IT, IT IS NOT WORTH ALOT. THERE ARE SO MANY ISSUES WITH THE 2.7 ENGINE THAT I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE WASN'T A RECALL AND THE COMPANY IS REQUIRED TO REPLACE THESE ENGINES. I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN THAT HAVE TO RIDE IN MY CAR AND I FEEL THAT IT IS VERY UNSAFE TO RIDE IT BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN THE ENGINE WILL GO OUT. *TR
