2003 Dodge Intrepid

MY DODGE INTREPID 2003 WITH THE 2002 2.7 LITER MODEL ENGINE LOCKED UP ON ME FOR NO REASON AT 76,000 MILES APX. I SPOKE WITH ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL WITH THE SAME ENGINE AND IT LOCKED UP AT 15,000 MILES. LUCKILY I WAS NOT IN THE MAIN ROAD, BUT I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF PULLING OUT INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION AND MAY HAVE NOT TURNED OUT GOOD. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION AND WHEN COMING TO A STOP THE ENGINE JUST LOCKS UP AND IT WOULDN'T EVEN TURN OVER AGAIN. I HAD TO HAVE LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT HELP ME GET THE VEHICLE OFF OF THE ROADWAY, WHICH HAPPEN TO BE PASSING BY AT THE TIME. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY SITTING DEAD IN THE DRIVEWAY. I WAS ALWAYS UNDER THE IMPRESSION CHRYSLER PRODUCTS WERE GOOD AND DEPENDABLE AND THIS WILL PROBABLY BE THE LAST TIME I BUY ONE OF THEIR PRODUCTS DUE TO THIS. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2003 DODGE INTREPID IN MAY OF 2007. SHORTLY THEREAFTER I BEGAN TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE. I HAD A TUNE UP, AND OIL CHANGE, THEN THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR WENT BAD. I HAD TO HAVE THAT REPLACED TWICE (THE FIRST SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE) THEN I NOTICED MY OIL LIGHT FLASHING DIMLY. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIR THE RESULT WAS A CLEANING OF MY OIL PICKUP TUBE AND SCREEN AND ANOTHER OIL CHANGE. I USED HIGH MILEAGE OIL AND LUCAS OIL ADDITIVE I ALSO USED PLUS GRADE GAS AND STILL THIS HAPPENED. FROM WHAT I NOW KNOW THE 2.7L V6 DOHC IS "TRASH" AS QUITE A FEW MECHANICS HAVE CALLED IT. *TR
