Engine Knocking Noise problems of the 1999 Dodge Intrepid - part 2

While driving 45 mph, the engine made a knocking sound, then stalled. The vehicle was towed to the dealership, the engine had to be replaced. The engine lost power and stated to run rough. (complete failure while making a left turn) per mechanic, the engine failure was caused by a defective lubricating system.

While driving at any speed consumer heard a knocking noise coming from the engine. Vehicle was taken to the dealer, who checked the motor, and informed the consumer that a new motor was needed.

While driving, my 99 Intrepid loss power and the engine started making a terrible knocking sound. The engine to my car has died at 95999 miles. It is a shame. I have alway been such a big fan of Chrysler. I was in the process of looking for a minivan to trade this car in for. Now I still owe more than $7000 on this car and stuck with it. I have no clue as to what I am going to do. I priced engines. They range from $3600-$4800 and that does not include labor. The worst part is I had my children in the car when it died. Luckily no one was hurt. Also the steering makes a funny knocking sound when I turn. I am no longer a Chrysler fan and will most likely never own another one.

At just over 73000 miles knocking sound began from engine. I stopped driving and took to mechanic, I was informed motor was shot and would need complete rebuild. Car had been serviced since purchase according to chrylser recommendations. As I contacted service & salvage shops to explain my need, they (5 different shops) started telling me the problem before I could finish. Said 2. 7 motor was defect from factory. 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.

I own a 1999 Dodge Intrepid with 26,400 miles on it. It has never been in an accident of any type and usually driven 10 miles per day. After 26,000 miles the engine developed a knocking noise. I was informed the roller bearing on the timing change had failed. After paying more than $1,400 for the replacement of the roller bearing and a new timing chain, it was determined that the timing chain problem had damaged one or more of the valves, which required the engine to be torn down and a valve job to be required for an additional cost of $900. 00. All of this to a car with only 26,000 miles. 2 weeks after the engine repairs were made the transmission stopped shifting gears.

1999 Intrepid started making loud knocking noise in engine. Took to dealer and now dealer says that I am lucky I did not denotate the engine. Needs whole new engine to the tune of $8000. 00. Have always maintained engine oil change. Not due to that, due to the fact that Chrysler put aluminum rods in engine.
