2000 Dodge Intrepid review from North America

"2.7 liter engine failure needs quality corrective action"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I had maintained the car as instructed in the owner's manual. Despite this, the engine experienced sudden failure. I drove it home from somewhere, turned it off, and came out 5 minutes later to start it. When I started the engine, it had a very loud banging in it. After speaking to four mechanics over the phone, I came to one conclusion. I had no choice, but to get a new car. All four mechanics told me about the history of the 2.7 liter engine and suggested not repairing it.

General comments?

Currently a Cleveland law firm is putting together a class action suit for all owners of the 2.7 liter engine. Research the Internet for more details. I loved driving my Intrepid, but it isn't so pretty sitting dead in the driveway. Every automotive company needs to be quality certified. I think Chrysler's corrective action procedure should be questioned. They have done nothing for the consumer in this situation. Instead, they have made a strategic move to protect future sales of Dodge products by not making the Intrepid after this year. This way, they eliminate a product with a bad reputation and hope the problem just goes away. It's a lack of integrity for large companies to not follow through on their responsibility to the consumer. Lack of integrity often leads to a corporation's downfall. Corporation downfall leads to more lost jobs for Americans.
