My 2002 Intrepid stalled on the highway less than a year from the purchase date. I was on the expressway doing approximately 60mph, when the engine completely stopped running, the oil light came on...luckily I was able to pull over to the side of the highway safely. The dealership stated that the engine seized due to sludge, however, the oil was changed as scheduled. The estimated bill was $5,000. After investigating this issue, I have found numerous websites dealing with the same issues, with consumers telling the exact same story that I had. It appears to be an issue with the 2.7 liter engine in the Intrepid and all of the people who commented were accused of non maintenance of the vehicle because of sludge. Chrysler refuses to take the blame. I am still looking into whether or not my vehicle is covered under the lemon law, it has less than 18,000 miles since purchase and has been 1 year since purchase.

Problems brake rotors and odometer on 2002 Dodge Intrepid ES. The vehicle made an unusual noise and then shut down. The dealer indicated that the start-up alarm system needed to be regulated. The dealer made the repairs but the problem continued. A few days later the noises continued, the odometer stopped and the vehicle didn't indicate what gear it was in. The vehicle was taken to another dealer who corrected the problem. The consumer later learned that the vehicle needed new rotors and brake pads on all four wheels. The vehicle was returned to the sales dealer who was no longer in business. After contacting Chrysler, she was told there was nothing they could do. The consumer doesn't think the rotors should have failed within four months or ownership.
