ENGINE BLEW UP (FAILURE), HAD TO HAVE CAR REPOSSESSD OR PAY AN ADDITIONAL $5,000.00 for a new *used* motor! DO NOT BUY A DODGE!!
Terrible. never again a Chrysler product.
The engine in a Dodge Intrepid 2.7 is not a Chrysler product, it is a Mitsubishi engine.
I was in the same boat. My engine blew and I had to let them repossess our vehicle cause I had to purchase a new one and couldn't pay for both or afford the $7500.00 for a new motor. This sucks!
The 2.7 is a Chrysler design, not a Mitsubishi one. It was touted as the first all-computer-designed engine by Chrysler when they premiered it.
And even if it was a "Mitsubishi engine," it's Chrysler that put it in the car and Chrysler who refuses to back up the engine when it dies prematurely due to sludge. So yes, it's very much Chrysler's fault.
