Consumer Description

ENGINE BLOWING DUE TO RINGS DETERIORATING BEFORE REACHING 100,000 MILES. COMPRESSION LOW, CAR SHAKES, CLOSE TO STALLING OUT. HARDER TO START. ONLY WAY TO FIX IS BY REPLACING ENGINE. HAVE SEEN THOUSANDS OF REFERENCES TO THIS ON MANY DODGE FORUMS AND OTHER SITES. DOES NOT JUST INCLUDE THE 03 NEON SXT, ALSO SE, SRT, INTREPID, AND ONE OF THE CHRYSLER MODELS. *TR
