Complete engine failure on 1999 Dodge Intrepid, 2.7 lite engine with 50,000 miles on it. Seized up while driving kids to school. Was luckily able to pull off road to avoid accident. Dodge acknowlodges awareness of engine problem but refuses to do anything about it-no recall issued. Found website with other complaints about same engine, so seems to be a common problem that Dodge is ignoring. Total repair cost was over $3,700.

1999 Dodge Intrepid 4 door sedan, equipped with 2.7 liter V-6 engine, and automatic transmission. At approximately 69,500 miles traveling at 60 mph on interstate highway, and dash oil light came on. Had to travel three miles on highway to reach a safe exit. Engine started to make ticking sound which increased in volume. Engine finally seized while coasting to off ramp. No injuries, no vehicle fire. Vehicle towed to Dodge dealer and diagnosed as "engine failure." Mechanic reported appears to be "some sludge" high in engine, seen through oil filler hole in valve cover. Dealer advised there is a factory rebuilt short block available from daimler Chrysler for $6750 plus tax. Would still have to pay for dressing short block with valve covers, oil pan, throttle body, fuel rail, accessory drives, etc from my old failed engine to make a complete engine. He also said "may be able to get a used engine from a salvage yard for $3500-$4000 but would not be sure of 'reliability' of used engine." Oil change frequency was 11-12,000 miles per customer manual. Have since discovered that there are many other engine failures of the DC 2.7 liter V-6 engine.

1999 Chrysler Intrepid engine siezed up, no warning, driving on very busy expressway, luckily I was able to get over, or it could have been really bad. Apparently a lot of this has been happening to Intrepids because of the aluminum engine design. It is very scary, unsafe, and also very, very costly. So much for the Dodge/chrylser quality, uh?
