Engine And Engine Cooling
I WAS ON VACATION FOR THE WEEKEND IN CANADA, ON THE WAY BACK, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN HEARD A LOUD KNOCKING SOUND. I PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY INTO A HOTEL PARKING LOT, AND THE KNOCK WAS SO LOUD, IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO EXPLODE. IT IS ONCE AGAIN A 1998 DODGE INTREPID 2.7 LITER ENGINE, THAT HAS GONE BAD.

I WAS ON VACATION FOR THE WEEKEND IN CANADA, ON THE WAY BACK, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN HEARD A LOUD KNOCKING SOUND. I PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY INTO A HOTEL PARKING LOT, AND THE KNOCK WAS SO LOUD, IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO EXPLODE. IT IS ONCE AGAIN A 1998 DODGE INTREPID 2.7 LITER ENGINE, THAT HAS GONE BAD. I HAVE OWNED IT SINCE 2001, AND HAVE CHANGED THE OIL EVERY 3000 MILES WITH SYNTHETIC OIL. I EVEN HAD THE TIMING CHAIN AND TENSIONERS CHANGED JANUARY 2007, BECAUSE I HEARD THESE GO BAD AND RUIN THE ENGINE. I AM A FORMER MECHANIC, WHO REALLY TAKES CARE OF MY VEHICLES. EVERY MECHANIC TOLD ME IN 2001 THAT THESE ENGINES ARE JUNK, AND NOT TO BUY IT, BUT I DIDN'T LISTEN TO THEM. NOW THE CAR SITS IN MY DRIVEWAY, AND I STILL OWE MONEY ON IT. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED WITH ABOUT 100,000 MILES FOR $2,000. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL CAR IN AND OUT FOR THE PRICE GREAT CONDITION! I'VE NOTICED THAT WHEN I START IF UP TO LET IF WARM, IT WAR EXTREMELY LOUD, BUT I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS A BIG DEAL SINCE IT'S COLD OUT AND IT NEEDED TO WARM. TONIGHT I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WHEN I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND WHEN IT WENT SILENT, AND STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A !@#$% HIGHWAY AT A RED LIGHT TOO. NO LIGHTS CAME ON TO INDICATE A PROBLEM. I FINALLY GOT IT STARTED AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF HARASSING DRIVERS AND GOT IT TO A PARKING LOT WHEN IT STALLED AGAIN RIGHT WHEN I PULLED IN. STARTED IT AGAIN AND PARKED IT. CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS BONE DRY. I BOUGHT AND PUT PLENTY OF OIL IN IT LET IT RUN DROVE A LITTLE AND IT WORKED GREAT. DROVE HOME WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. ITS NOW SITTING IN TOWN UNTIL I HAVE IT TOWED TOMORROW. NICE CAR INSIDE AND OUT!!!! DANGEROUSLY SHOTTY AMERICAN MOTOR. *TR

PAID $500.00 DEDUCTIBLES AT DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED ENGINE. HAD PROOF OF OIL CHANGES. 2002 BROKE DOWN AGAIN. THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE AND BROKE OTHER PARTS. THIS COST $800.00. ALSO, I HAVE REPLACE ALL WINDOW MOTORS AT LEAST ONCE AND TWICE AGAIN ON TWO MORE. AND RELAY SWITCHES. AT THIS POINT BECAUSE I PAID $21,000 FOR THIS CAR ALSO ALL THE MONEY IN REPAIRS. TOO MUCH INVESTED TO JUST LET IT GO. I STARTED USING FULLY SYNTHETIC OIL AND CHANGES OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. THIS WAS ALSO EXPENSIVE. I HAD TO TRY SOMETHING TO SAVE THIS CAR. WELL THAT DIDN'T WORK EITHER. 2005 THE ENGINE BLEW AGAIN, OIL SLUDGE. I HAS SET AT THE GARAGE UNTIL 12/06. I HAD TO BORROW A CAR FOR THE PAST YEAR UNTIL I COULD FIX THE INTREPID AGAIN. NOW I HAVE PAID ANOTHER $2000.00 TO SWITCH THE ENGINE WITH AT 3.2 LITER ENGINE. I GET IT BACK TODAY!! I CAN NOT FIND EVEN A JUNKYARD SALVAGE YARD THAT WILL THAT THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. THAT IS SAD!! I HAVE BEEN TOLD BE EVERY MECHANIC AND SALVAGE COMPANY I HAVE CONTACTED, THAT EVERYONE IS AWARE OF THE 2.7 PROBLEMS AND WILL NOT TOUCH ONE. *NM
