2000 Chrysler Intrepid with less than 70,000 miles used primarily by my wife for work. (85 miles per day). Car started to knock. We brought it to the dealership for investigation and were told we had an engine failure. Dealership replaced small block with what I was told as being a new as an after market part. We started to have oil changes done at dealership only every 3,000 miles(although owners manual states 7,000 for our the type of driving. At less than 40,000 miles the engine started to knock again. Dealership would not stand behind product or repair again. I brought it to a local repair shop that was recommended to me by a friend in the business. This repair shop has had some luck with repairing the problem. Unfortunately for me not this time. I have contacted Chrysler several time with same results as mentioned, service not performed by dealership to bad, I was also told this by dale frank the service manager at the dealership. I have all my vehicles service at or before 3,000 miles. I fine it very absurd that the spark plug change is at 100,000 miles when this engine has no change of ever seeing that number of miles.

On January 15, 2004 I brought my Dodge Intrepid VIN#2B3hd46rxh103584 to dohn bohn Dodge in metairie, la for replace of the drivers side recliner seat bolts. This was being done per a recall notice I received. The NHTSA campaign number id number is #03V035000. An invoice was issued stating the repairs were completed. On September 15, 2004 the same drivers side seat recliner bolt sheared in half and I lost control of the car and had an accident. I am under doctors care for injuries sustained. I reported this information to dahimler Chrysler on 10/04/2005 and they gave me a claim number #12695236. I contacted a local dealership lakeshore Dodge and they informed since I had the recall already done I would have to pay for the service. I declined and had the bolt replaced by my insurance company and retained the bolt.

I have also replaced front passenger side door lock actuator. Now the driver side back lock actuator is going out. I have not fixed the radio, dash lights or dome lights. I am out of money for the time being. I had to refinance and add $4900. To get most of the repairs done. My engine blew due to sludge and I now have a used rebuilt one that will probably do the same thing.

I have a huge loan left on my 2000 Dodge Intrepid and now I have to put more money into it to get a new engine. I was driving to work one day and I heard a knocking sound in my engine but there wasn't any lights that came on that said 'service engine soon'. I had my mechanic look at it and he found that the tming chain broke. I looked on the internet and this is happening a lot and not just with the 2000 Dodge Intrepid, it's with whatever vehicle's that have a 2.7 liter engine in them. Please look into this and let me know if there is anything I can help you with.
