ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON, VEHICLE FAILED TO START AND WAS TOWED TO GARAGE. MECHANIC DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS TIMING CHAIN SENSOR WEAR, DUE TO STRETCHED TIMING CHAIN RELATED TO WELL DOCUMENTED OIL SLUDGE PROBLEM IN 2.7L V6 ENGINE. AFTER THE SENSOR WAS REPLACED, DROVE THE VEHICLE FOR TWO WEEKS AND ENGINE LIGHT REAPPEARED. FOR APPROXIMATELY 18 MONTHS, VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN WITH ENGINE LIGHT TURNING ON AND OFF ON ITS OWN. AT TIMES, THE VEHICLE WAS DIFFICULT TO START, PARTICULARLY IN COLD WEATHER, BUT WOULD RESOLVE ITSELF AND START FINE WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT TURNING OFF. AFTER 18 MONTHS, THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED LIT ALL THE TIME. IT WOULD STALL IN TRAFFIC AND THE OIL LIGHT WOULD APPEAR. AT THIS POINT, AFTER READING THOUSANDS OF OTHERS COMPLAINTS ON THIS VEHICLE/ENGINE AND UNDERSTANDING ENGINE REPAIR COSTS WOULD ECLIPSE THE VALUE, I DECIDED THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE.
PURCHASED 2001 IN 2004 DRIVING TO WORK CAR STALLED ON FREEWAY AND CUT OFF. TOOK TO AUTO SHOP DETERMINED ENGINE FROZE. REPLACED ENGINE 2009(NEEDED TO SAVE UP) ENGINE HAS GIVEN OUT AGAIN 2017. THERE IS OIL SLUG IN ENGINE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 DODGE INTREPID. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH AND APPROACHING A STOP SIGN, THE ENGINE STALLED. AS A RESULT, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE HORN FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 249,000.
WATER PUMP FAILURE THEN TIMING CHAIN SLIP. *TR
CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED WHILE ON THE EXPRESSWAY AT 60 MILES AN HOUR. I HEAR THIS IS NOT UNUSUAL BUT SEEMS TO BE A FREQUENT COMPLIANT ABOUT THIS CAR. IF SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR SAFETY FACTORS. BUT I AM SURE THE BIG CAR COMPANY WILL NOT ALLOW ANY OF THIS TO COME TO FRUITION AND FOCUS ON THE SAFETY OF THE CONSUMER. *TR
