Engine And Engine Cooling
I HAVE A 98 DODGE INTREPID READY TO BE RE-POSSESSED. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2001 WITH 53000 MILES ON IT. 2 YEARS LATER THE ENGINE BLEW WITH NO WARNING AS I WAS GETTING OFF I-95.

I HAVE A 98 DODGE INTREPID READY TO BE RE-POSSESSED. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2001 WITH 53000 MILES ON IT. 2 YEARS LATER THE ENGINE BLEW WITH NO WARNING AS I WAS GETTING OFF I-95. IT COST ME $4200 TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. A YEAR LATER THE 2ND ENGINE BLEW AND AGAIN WITH NO WARNING AS I WAS DRIVING ON I 95. I REPLACED THE ENGINE AGAIN AT $2400 BECAUSE I STILL OWED MONEY ON MY LOAN. THE SECOND ENGINE LASTED ABOUT ANOTHER YEAR AND NOW OVERHEATS AFTER DRIVING IT FOR A HALF HOUR. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT THE HEADS ARE BAD AND THE ENGINE IS CRACKED. I WILL NOT PUT A 3RD ENGINE IN THIS CAR. I STILL OWE $5000 ON MY LOAN AND CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY FOR IT ANY MORE SINCE I WENT AND BOUGHT A 2001 HONDA THAT I NEED TO GET TO AND FROM WORK. *JB

BOUGHT MY 1998 DODGE INTREPID IN NOVEMBER OF 2004. I DID A ROUTINE OIL CHECK EVERY 3000 MILES. THE ONE TIME I DON'T GET IT CHANGED AT 3,000 MILES WITH IT ONLY BEING OVER BY 700 MILES MY ENGINE BLOWS. I'VE DROVE MANY CARS AND I DIDN'T GET THE OIL CHANGED AT EXACTLY 3000 MILES. I WAS DRIVING WITH MY TWO LITTLE GIRLS. I CAME TO A STOP AT A STOP LIGHT AND IT THE OIL AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WITH MY ENGINE MAKING A VERY LOUD NOISE AND MY CAR SHAKING. I MANAGED TO GET IT INTO A PARKING LOT I SAT THERE FOR AN HOUR WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO HELP. JUST TO FIND OUT ITS A BLOWN ENGINE AND ITS GOING TO COST ME OVER FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS TO REPLACE. MY CAR HAS 117000 MILES ON IT. I'M UNABLE TO AFFORD TO FIX IT AND I HAVE HEARD OF MANY PROBLEMS WITH THE 2.6 L. WHY IS THERE NOTHING BEING DONE ABOUT THEM OR A RECALL ESPECIALLY WITH AS MANY PEOPLE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEM. I HAVE NO TRANSPORTATION NOW WITH TWO LITTLE GIRLS WORKING AND GOING TO COLLEGE SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. *NM

I BOUGHT THIS CAR ON 3/2002. SINCE I BOUGHT IT I HAVE REPLACED THE STARTER THREE TIMES; HAD A FULL FRONT END REPLACEMENT; NEW ENGINE PUT IN; NEW TRANSMISSION; STUDS BROKE FROM THE FRONT TIRE AND WHILE THE TIRE WAS ROLLING DOWN THE ROAD MY CARD WAS SKIDDING DOWN THE ROAD WITH MY 2 MONTH OLD GRANDDAUGHTER IN THE CAR. NOW THE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM IS COMPLETELY SCREWED UP AND THE CAR IS NOT EVEN RUNNING. I HAVE ALL MY PAPERWORK WHERE THE REPAIRS WERE DONE. I BELIEVE THAT CHRYSLER NEEDS TO REPLACE THIS VEHICLE "NO QUESTIONS ASKED" BECAUSE WE HAVE SPENT OVER $6,000 FIXING THIS PIECE OF JUNK. *JB
