CAR BEGAN STEAMING, AND SMOKING. HAD TO PULL OVER TO LET IT COOL DOWN, NO EXTRA ANTIFREEZE AVAILABLE. ONCE COOLED, LIMPED IT TO MECHANIC. MECHANIC STATED FUEL PUMP IS OUT AGAIN, AFTER ONLY 45,000 MORE MILES ON BRAND NEW DODGE WATER PUMP. MECHANIC ALSO STATED THAT OIL PRESSURE IS TOO HIGH AND SEALS BAD, OIL SPEWING OUT EVERYWHERE. HE SAID THIS IS A DEFECT OF THE DODGE 2.7 LITER ENGINE AND SINCE WATER PUMP IS INCORPORATED INTO MOTOR, THE COST TO REPLACE IT, PUT ALL NEW SEALS AND FIX THE OIL PUMP WOULD NOT BE WORTH THE VALUE OF THE CAR AND HE WILL NOT DO IT BECAUSE HE REFUSES TO "SPEND OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY ON A JUNK MOTOR." HE STATED THAT EVEN REBUILT DODGE 2.7 LITER MOTORS ARE BAD AND WILL QUIT AFTER ONLY A FEW THOUSAND MILES. HE SAYS YOU CAN NOT GET A GOOD 2.7 LITER DODGE MOTOR FOR ANY INTREPID BUILT BETWEEN 1998-2008. HE HAD PAPERWORK SHOWING DODGE KNEW IT WAS A POOR DESIGN THAT WOULD BLOW AND NOT BE WORTH THE COST OF REPAIR. I WANT THIS CORRECTED AND ANYONE WHO OWNED ONE OF THESE LEMONS REIMBURSED FOR THE COST OF REPAIRS FOR THESE VEHICLES! DODGE KNOWINGLY SOLD THESE LEMONS AND DID NOTHING TO FIX THE ISSUE UNTIL 2008! THIS IS A CLEAR CUT CASE OF CONSUMER FRAUD! *TR
