Bad Intrepid ES???
Dodge Intrepid 2001
Engine: 2.7.
Engine knocking due to built up of sludge.
The front windows make sound like they grind.
My oil light stays on when I brake even after I finish changing the oil.
The car braked two times on me while on the freeway in heavy traffic.
Add me to the law suit list.

OK, it finally happened to me as well. I did not know about this issue until yesterday. We purchased our '01 Intrepid in 2002 with 9k miles on it. I've been using Mobile 1 10w 30 and K&N filters since day 1 and change my oil every 3000 miles. We currently have 119k miles on it.
Yesterday my wife said the car was overheating. I told her to stay put and then drove over to look at it. There was very little coolant. I checked to see if there was a leak but there wasn't, so I added some. The oil was a touch low, so I had her drive to the auto parts store about 1/2 mile away. When I removed the cap to put in oil, I noticed foamy white stuff in the cap. I knew it was water in the oil and thought that the head gasket was going. Upon talking to a mechanic, he informed me of this issue. I added 1/2 a quart of oil. I didn't realize how serious it was, so we drove the car about 1 more mile. Now it won't start. Had it towed to a garage and are waiting for a verdict. I now know what this issue is. We haven't much trouble with this car at all and were hoping to get another 2 years out of it. Guess I search for a different car... and I'm not having other taxpayers help me buy one!
