“WHILE DRIVING MY 2004 DODGE INTREPID, THE CAR STARTED TO JERK, SO I PULLED INTO THE GAS STATION AND CALLED MY HUSBAND. WE GOT THE CAR BACK HOME, NOTICED THE SPARK PLUGS WERE COVERED IN OIL, SO WE CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS AND CLEANED UP THE OIL. THEN THE CAR WOULD NOT START. TOOK THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THE TIMING CHAIN HAD BROKEN AND BENT VALVES. I WAS TOLD I WOULD NEED TO GET A NEW ENGINE IN THE CAR. I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 04 DODGE INTREPID 2.7L ENGINES. DODGE SHOULD REALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AS IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN TO A LOT OF PEOPLE. *TR”
