1999 DODGE INTREPID ENGINE SEIZED AT ONLY 5600 MILES. THE DEALER SAID THAT THERE IS A SLUDGE BUILD UP IN THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD FROM AT LEAST 10 DIFFERENT AUTO SHOPS THAT THE 2.7 LITER DODGE ENGINE IS POORLY MADE AND THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THIS SAME PROBLEM TIME AND TIME AGAIN. IT RUNS WAY TOO HOT AND IF YOU DON'T CHANGE THE OIL EVERY 1500 MILES OR SO, SLUDGE WILL BUILD UP IN THE ENGINE AND CAUSE SEIZURE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS 2.7 ENGINE OR A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AGAINST DODGE.*AK

I OWN A 1999 DODGE INTREPID WITH A 2.7 LITER V6 ENGINE. THE CAR HAD BEEN WELL MAINTAINED WITH ROUTINE OIL CHANGES. WITH NO WARNING THE ENGINE BLEW AT 63,000 MILES. WE CONTACTED DODGE, AND WERE TOLD IT WAS NOT COVERED AND THAT OUR WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. WE NOW CANNOT FIND A MOTOR TO FIT THIS CAR IN ORDER TO REPAIR IT AND ARE STUCK PAYING FOR SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT RUN. IT IS A FINANCIAL STRAIN AND DODGE WILL NOT OFFER US ANY HELP OR SOLUTIONS AFTER SEVERAL CONTACTS. I BOUGHT A DODGE PRODUCT IN GOOD FAITH - NO CAR THAT WAS TREATED AS WELL AS MINE SHOULD HAVE A BLOWN ENGINE AT 63,000 MILES. I BELIEVE IT WAS DEFECTIVE. *AK

I HAD TO HAVE COMPLETE ENGINE REBUILD AT COST OF $3000 AS I COULD NOT AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER MOTOR. I CONTACTED DEALER ABOUT PROBLEM AND THEY SAID THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS. SAID THEY WOULD LOOK INTO IT AND GET BACK WITH ME AND NEVER DID. FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE 2.7 ENGINE AND EVERYONE SEEMS TO BE AWARE OF IT BUT CHRYLSER.

1999 DODGE INTREPID 2.7 6 CYLINDER ENGINE FAILURE AT 61000 MILES. NO WARNING OF APPROACHING ENGINE FAILURE. OIL CHANGED 1200 MILES PRIOR TO INCIDENT. CAR WAS FOUND TO HAVE OIL IN PAN WITH "SLUDGE" AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAN UPON INSPECTION AFTER THE INCIDENT. VEHICLE NEVER RAN "HOT." UPON CONSULTATION WITH LOCAL MECHANICS AND THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2.7 ENGINES IN THIS SERIES OF DODGE INTREPID. MECHANICS AND ENGINE BUILDERS HAVE BOTH ADVISED THAT THIS ENGINE HAS A FUNDAMENTAL DESIGN FLAW IN THE OIL DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM THROUGHOUT THE ENGINE, EVENTUALLY LEADING TO ENGINE WEAR AND EVENTUAL FAILURE. CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP (THOUGH UNWILLING TO REPLACE THE ENGINE AT NO COST) OPENLY ADMITS THAT THERE ARE SERIOUS ISSUES WITH THIS ENGINE. CHRYSLER MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR POORLY DESIGNED ENGINE THAT IS DOOMED FOR PREMATURE FAILURE.*AK

I PURCHASED A 1999 DODGE INTERPID ON APRIL 11, 2003, AFTER HAVING IT FOR 25 DAYS, THE TRANSMISSION WENT. WAS REPAIRED. IN THE SHOP FOR 2 WEEKS. AFTER HAVING IT FOR 9 DAYS, A LOUD NOISE IN ENGINE WAS NOTICED. IT WAS NOT DROVE, BUT WENT INTO THE SHOP AGAIN AND IS CURRENTLY THERE. THE ENGINE HAS GONE. REPAIR SHOP CALLED CHRYSLER COMPANY AND THEY SAID TO REPLACE IT. OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY WANTS ME TO AUTHORIZE REPAIRS AND WILL DECIDE WHAT PERCENTAGE THEY WILL PAY FOR IT. BUT THE POLICY WE HAVE STATES ENGINE REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENT., ACCORDING TO THEIR BOOKLET. THE COST TO REPLACE IT, $8,300.00! THAT IS MORE THAN WHAT WE PAID FOR THE CAR. THIS CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEABLE FOR 25 DAYS BEFORE FIRST BREAKDOWN WITH TRANSMISSION JOB, UNDRIVEABLE AND IN THE SHOP FOR 14 DAYS, OUT FOR 9 DAYS AND IS NOW IN THE SHOP AWAITING A NEW ENGINE. I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET ABOUT OTHER 1999 DODGE INTERPID OWNERS WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME TROUBLES AS I AM WITH THEIR CARS. PLEASE HELP THIS ENGINE IS RUINNED! NEEDS TO BE REPLACES, 2.7L, V-6.. *AK

THE AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR AND WE TOOK INTO DEALER TO SERVICE AND WERE TOLD THAT THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND THE A/C FAN AND THE RADIATOR FAN WERE SEIZED. THEY CANNOT TELL US WHY THIS WOULD HAPPEN ON A VEHICLE ONLY 4 YEARS OLD BUT COULD ONLY SAY THEY "SELL A LOT OF THESE FANS ON THESE VEHICLES AND THE STRATUS VEHICLES." THIS SOUNDS LIKE TO ME THAT IT IS A PROBLEM WITH A DEFECTIVE PART RATHER THAN SOMETHING THE CUSTOMERS SHOULD HAVE TO BUY "A LOT OF" ...
