Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY 2001 DODGE INTREPID SE AND WITH NO WARNING THE HEAT WENT OUT AND THE CAR BEGAN TO SMOKE AND CUT OFF AND I HAD TO COAST OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ON A DARK ROAD AND WAIT TILL THE ENGINE COOLED DOWN. IT TOOK ABOUT FIFTEEN MINUTES BEFORE THE CAR STARTED AGAIN. I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR IN JULY AND IT DIED ON ME IN NOVEMBER. THE ENGINE IS A 2.7 AND IS KNOWN FOR THESE ISSUES. I TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE ANTIFREEZE IS MIXING WITH THE OIL,THE HEADGASKET IS GONE AND HE GIVES IT A MONTH BEFORE THE MOTOR GOES. I GOOGLED THE 2.7 AND READ SIMILAR STORIES. *TR
