| 1998 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE | I CURRENTLY OWN A 1998 CHRYLSER INTREPID WHICH HAS 110,000 MILES ON IT. IN THAT AMOUNT OF TIME I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE TWICE. THE FIRST TIME OCCURED ON 1/1/1999 WITH ONLY 12000 MILES ON IT. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THE MOTOR SEIZED UP DUE TO THICK OIL. THE OIL HAD LOTS OF METAL SHAVINGS FROM INSIDE THE ENGINE. THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE STAING DUE TO LACK OF MAINTAINENCE. AFTER THAT I FAITHFULLY MADE SURE I HAD RECEIPTS ON ALL ENGINE MAINTENENCE ITEMS. IN JULY OF 2003 THE ENGINE DID THE SAME THING AND ANOTHER REPLACEMENT WAS NEEDED. I WENT DIRECTLY TO A NON-DEALERSHIP LOCATION TO HAVE THE SECOND ENGINE PUT IN BECAUSE 1. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT IS NOT THERE. AND 2. BECAUSE OF THE ATTITUDE AND PROBLEMS I HAD FIGHTING THE FIRST TIME WITH CHRYSLER. THIS COMPLAINT IS BEING FILED TO MAKE OTHERS AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE.*AK |
