Engine Failure problems of the 2004 Dodge Intrepid

Engine failure. 2004 Dodge Intrepid. Low oil pressure light on dash flickers, found out that 2. 7 engine is known for this problem costing $5500. 00 dollars for new engine. My family and I bought this car brand new and have relentlessly had oil changed through the years every 3000 miles.

The 2. 7 liter engine in my 2004 Dodge Intrepid had to be replaced due to bearing failure and a thrown rod. I bought this vehicle as a program car with less than 12000 miles and the original manufacturers warranty was in effect. I do not have a warranty complaint since my vehicle was no longer under warranty. I do feel that my engine failure was due to the sludge problem that seems to be prevalent in the Chrysler 2. 7 liter motors.

2004 Dodge Intrepid with 80,000 and good maintenance has engine failure due to oil sludge.

Engine failure.

2004 Dodge Intrepid with Mitsubishi 2. 7l engine on January 28, 2007 my teenage daughter was driving referenced car when without any warning engine failed causing steering to fail, and my daughter was forced to allow the car to coast into a safety zone. Although automobile had recently been serviced and had the bushings replaced, there was no indication either to me or the mechanic that the engine was in immediate danger of failure. The car has less than 45,000 miles on it. I see from several websites that the engine in my Intrepid is defective and many, many engines both in the u. S. And canada have the same problem. However, I an told now that regardless of maintenance of the vehicle, any warranties, the early failure of the engine, I have no recourse but to replace the engine at a cost of around $3500. But, there is a problem. So many of these engines have had to be replaced that I cannot get an engine, even if I could pay for it. So, I continue to make car payments for a defective vehicle that I cannot drive and cannot repair because there are no engines. Help, please help.
