My 1998 Dodge Intrepid experienced sudden engine failure. It will cost me approximately $6500 to fix the problem. This will involve replacing the engine which has sludge build-up and a mass air flow sensor. I maintained regular service on this vehicle and was told by Chrysler that it was my fault. Upon investigation, I discovered that I am by no mean the only victim of this type of problem. Please help me get justice.
