Driving on freeway at 65mph when engine jumped to high rpm then dropped to low rpm and quit. Steam coming out from under hood. Found the water outlet box had blown the top off, engine overheated, and piston rod broke. Many complaints of the plastic welded seam on the water outlet box failing on the Dodge Intrepid. This stranded me on the freeway in a bad area. Very poor design water outlet box. . Repair box is now a two piece assembly bolted together. They obviously knew of this defect and changed the design without recalling or repairing any. Now need new engine due to overheating when the box failed.
