I went to leave work and my car would not start. At first I thought maybe it was the battery or starter. After having both of these tested and several mechanics later was told that my engine was seized. I have always checked the oil and had it changed accordingly. This is not fair I trusted that this car would be reliable and dependable now I am stuck with no vehicle in a town with little to no public transportation. How could Chrysler/Dodge knowingly let people purchase this engine when there are several thousand complaints on it? how about a recall and some integrity and honesty in your product instead of screwing single mothers like me. . .
While driving home from work on 10/11/04, my Dodge Intrepids engine just shut off and all power went off. The engine light went on and I pulled over to the side of the road. After about 5 minutes of trying to get it going again, it restarted. This happened three more times, in a period of about an hour, over 30 miles. The following morning, I took it in to moss brothers motors and rented a car (they have no service vehicals). Two hours later, moss calls that the car is ready, I was told it was a "computer service problem". The lengine light was no longer on when I picked the car up. The same day, on my way home, the samething happend (10/12/04). The car suddenly shut down on a very busy trafic corner and I had know time but to swerve out of my lane and do a ninty degree turn, over the curb and into a empty parking lot to avoid a major accident. I had no power steering and no brakes. The following morning, I took the car back to moss brothers motor and left it, relating my same problems as the day before. Two hours later, moss calls telling me the car is ready. I was told it wad another "computer related" problem. Since then it has not shutt down.
