I have the same old Dodge 2. 7l engine complaint. My 2000 Dodge Intrepid with only 90k miles started making noise, than boom. . . The end of another 2. 7l motor. Found it was combo of sludge and timing chain. Our local junk yards won't even take the car because they have to many as it is!!! so I get to stare at my expensive lawn ornament from my door every day.

I own a 2000 Dodge Intrepid with a 2. 7l engine. I was driving down the highway when the oil pressure symbol popped on . The engine started to make a knocking and pinging sound that got worse as I went down the road. The motor finally stop running so I pulled on side the road. I tried to restart it but it would not turn over. I had to have it pulled to the house . I had made it a habit to change the oil every 3,000 miles and to make sure the oil level was full every time I left the house. I don't know of anything that I did or didn't do that would have cause the motor to seize up. I do know that there are a lot of complains about the 2. 7l engine and that it is not a very dependable motor that will quit and seize up for no reason t all. I believe that this motor should be recalled and that the consumers should be compensated with a new or rebuilt 3. 2l or 3. 5l engine to replace the 2. 7l engines in these vehicles.
Engine made noise. Took to dealer who stated the car needed a new engine. The car has 85,000 mile, used by experienced drivers. Serviced fairly regularly approximately every 4000 to 5000 miles. Dealer says car has lot of sludge. We fail to understand why a serviced car should have lot of sludge. Was the service done properly? is the Intrepid designed badly?.
To whom it may concern, I was around 700 miles from home for my son's wedding in may and the engine started to knock, my husband who is a certified auto mechanic by the state of ohio for over 25 years looked it over and found nothing. The next day we were driving back home and the knocking stopped . The car drove fine after that and did not make the noise again. We always had the oil changed every 3000 miles and we have always used synthetic oil in the car. 1 month later on my way to work I was driving on state route 571 when the car started jerking and stopping then starting again I almost got rearended by a semi truck before I could get the car off the road. I called my husband to tell him what had happened I was very shook up scared out of my mind I thought I was going to be ran over by a semi. He told me to drive on the side of the road until I could turn off on a side road so I did. I was able to nurse it home and take another car to work that day. We took it down to the Chrysler dealer in town and they told us there was sludge in the oil and told us it would be 7200 dollars to fix the car I don't have that kind of money laying around so the car is sitting in my driveway while I try to come up with the money to fix it.
