Hi Connie, sad to say but it does sound like the same problem hugh? Did you put the same engine back in??? I love my car and have took awesome care of it. I only have a few minor scratches on it. I mean I take care of it!!! No one has hardly sat in the back but a few time sand I keep her clean. She is a pretty color or green that looks like it is gray sometimes. I would love to keep mine also. I am with you though...we spent alot on them, and if you are not going to get much...why not replace the engine as to loose money trading out. ----- Original Message ----- From: connie_14727 To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, March 31, 2007 10:56 PM Subject: [dodge_intrepid] Re: poor 2.7
Hi, I also have a Dodge Intrepid with a 2.7L motor. I am not sure if this is what is happening with yours but the best I can tell you is that these motors are junk. They get sludge in them and then quit. We also talked to a dealership about trading it in and no one would give us a decent price. Chrysler of course says they have no clue about what causes it, they blame it on the owners. We changed the oil in ours every 1500 miles and still had to replace the motor($1600!) before it had 100,000 miles on it. The only reason we replaced it was because we couldn't justify buying another car after what we paid for this one-my husband put the motor in which saved us mega bucks. Good luck with yours and I will keep my fingers crossed that you aren't having the same problem I did.
