She states that her husband had the oil change, then attempted to drive the auto when it just cut off and would not start.

  • Automatic transmission

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. Have always maintained engine oil change. Not due to that, due to the fact that Chrysler put aluminum rods in engine.
