Consumer Description

ON JUNE 4, 2009 I PAID MY 2001 DODGE INTREPID OFF. ON JUNE 20, 2009 WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE I HEARD MY CAR MAKING A KNOCKING SOUND. AS I PULLED OVER TO GET OFF ON THE EXIT THE CAR DIED AND I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AS I CAME OFF THE EXIT. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK TO GET IT TO STOP. THIS IS SCARY BEING THAT MY YOUNG CHILDREN WERE IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME. ON YESTERDAY THE MECHANIC HAS ADVISED ME THE ENGINE IS GONE. I'VE HAD THE OIL SENDING UNIT REPLACED, THE TIMING, THE CAM AND CRANKSHAFT SENSOR, THE WATER PUMP, THE SERPENTINE BELT, NOT TO MENTION THE $600 JUST SPENT ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO TO HAVE THE AC FIXED. WHEN THE OIL LIGHT FIRST BEGAN TO FLICKER THE MECHANIC ADVISED ME THAT THIS WOULD BE THE OUTCOME. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS! *TR
