2000 Dodge Intrepid

WE LUST PURCHASED A USED 2000 DODGE INTREPID IT HAD 105,000 MILES ON IT , IT WAS IN GREAT CONDITION UNTIL MAY 21,2010, I WAS ON MY WAY TO MY PARENTS HOUSE AND THE CAR STARTING MAKING FUNNY NOISES AND IT JUST CUT OFF WITH US, WE TRIED TO START IT BACK BUT IT FAILED, HAD IT LOOKED AT, THEY ARE TELLING ME IT NEEDS A NEW ENGINE, NEEDLESS TO SAY THE COST IS OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!! I LOVE MY CAR, BUT AS I READ ON THE INTERNET THERE IS ALOT OF ENGINE PROBLEMS WITH THE 2.7L ENGINES, IS THERE ANY THING THAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS? *TR

I PURCHASED A 2000 DODGE INTREPID WITH A 2.7L ENGINE FROM A PREVIOUS OWNER. I PUT AN ADDITIONAL $400.00 IN MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PARTS (INCLUDING FRESH OIL AND FILTER) INTO IT AND THE ENGINE LITERALLY BLEW UP THE FIRST TIME IT WAS DRIVEN 20 MILES. I AM A 55 YEAR OLD WOMAN THAT HAD TO ABANDON THE VEHICLE ON THE ROAD AND ARRANGE FOR REMOVAL. REPLACING THE ENGINE WITH A NON-DEFECTIVE ONE IS COST PROHIBITIVE TO ME. *TR

30 MILES FROM HOME JAN. 2010 DRIVING A 2000 DODGE INTREPID WITHOUT WARNING BLINKING OIL LIGHT, HAMMERING ENGINE, LESS THAN A MINUTE LATER COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE. CAR NOW SITS IN MY DRIVEWAY.HAVE MADE NO REPAIRS AS IT IS $3500, I'VE BEEN QUOTED. STILL 10 PAYMENTS TO GO ON THIS VEHICLE. CAR RAN LIKE A DREAM BEFORE THIS EXPERIENCE. NO PROBLEMS AT ALL, REG OIL CHANGES AND MAINTENANCE. *TR

THIS IS A BASIC VEHICLE COMPLAINT THAT I FEEL DODGE/CHRYSLER SHOULD BE MADE TO FIX ON THEIR 2.7L ENGINES. I AND AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET HAVE FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2000 DODGE INTREPID AND THE COMPANY IS DOING NOTHING TO HELP FIX IT WHEN IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE. OTHER MECHANICS HAVE SAID THE SAME THING. I THINK THAT SOME AUTHORITY SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS AND HAVE THEM RECALL THIS ENGINE. PEOPLE PAY A LOT OF MONEY FOR THEIR VEHICLES AND NEED THEM TO WORK. *TR

I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT ON THE 2000 DODGE INTREPID, 2.7L ENGINE. I HAD A FRONT END CRASH WITH NO APPARENT ENGINE DAMAGE. WHEN THE COSMETICS WERE REPAIRED AND I CRANKED THE ENGINE AGAIN THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND IT WAS NOT RUNNING SMOOTHLY. OIL LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF AT TIMES AND NOW HAS KNOCK IN ENGINE. I BLAME THIS ON A DESIGN FLAW IN THE OIL GALLEYS OF THE 2.7 ENGINE. *TR

HELLO MY NAME PAULA HOWARD. MY 2000 DODGE INTREPID JUST DIED WHILE DRIVING THE OTHER DAY. I CALLED MY HUSBAND, WHEN HE LIFTING THE HOOD OF MY CAR THERE WAS STEAM COMING OUT OF THE ENGINE. HE THEN CHECKED THE OIL AND SAW ANTIFREEZE IN THE OIL. I HAVE SINCE TAKEN THE CAR BACK TO MY DEALERSHIP SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR LESS THAN A YEAR. THEY OF COURSE WILL NOT TOUCH IT OR WARRANTY IT. THEY WANT A LOT OF MONEY TO EVEN LOOK AT IT. I STARTED RESEARCHING AND FOUND THAT I AM BY FAR NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS PROBLEM. CAN YOU HELP? *TR

ENGINE FAILURE ON 2.7 LITRE ENGINE IN A 2000 DODGE INTREPID. I WAS DRIVING ON A 100KM SPEED LIMIT HIGHWAY WHEN I HAD ENGINE FAILURE. THERE WAS NO PLACE TO GET OFF SAFELY SO PULLED OVER TO THE RIGHT AS FAR AS I COULD. STILL TRAFFIC HAD TO STEER AROUND MY DEAD VEHICLE CAUSING AN UNSAFE ROAD CONDITION WHICH COULD HAVE ENDED IN A BAD OR FATAL WAY. THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THIS ENGINE WITH MANY COMPLAINTS REGISTERED WITH DIFFERENT ENTITIES DESIGNED TO COLLECT THIS INFORMATION. THE MAKER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE FLAW AND COMPENSATE IN ONE FORM OR ANOTHER. THIS ENGINE MAKE IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND THE MAKER SHOULD BE MADE ACCOUNTABLE. *TR
