I also owened a 2001 Dodge Intrepid. It was a great car up until about 2 months ago.I Started having alot of things happen (expensive things). First the airconditiong condenser went (700.00), Then the engine had oil sludge. They said it would cost 3000.00 dollars to fix I do not have that kind of money now the car sits and I cannot drive it because I cannot afford to get it fixed. I have always driven Chyrsler vehicles…… but no more.

Hi, I bought a 2006 Dodge Magnum with the 2.7. I have the oil issue, the slipping tranny, Various components on the shifter assembly have now gone bad ( i can’t take the key out of the ignition), and to top it all off now I have the Throttle control sensor on. This car is a piece of junk. I will never ever buy another dodge ever again.

I have the same issue with my 2001 Sebring and it has been sitting at a dealership because I can’t afford to replace the engine because my extended warranty states it is an existing problem prior to me buying my warranty and it isnt their reposibility. I have also spoken with the National Highway on getting them to recall & investigate this issue with the 2.7 V6 engine and they have 30 complaints but they need more – I said well thats sad that this issue has to take more complaints or for someone to die before anyone does something about this Major Problem .
Here is the Link to their website on the bottom left is their phone number please everyone call them and report these problems we are all facing with this engine so they get off their booties and do something before someone dies. http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/defects/defectmonthlyreports.cfm

I have a 2002 Dodge Intrepid with a worthless 2.7 engine and have nothing but a problem. My oil light flickers when at an idle. Engine overheats if I run the AC. Have changed the water pump, thermostat, had oil changed regularly and still is no good. I had mechanic at Dodge dealership look at it and he told me I needed a new engine… he said just a matter of time before it no longer runs. What do we have to do to get a RECALL? Junk happens but take reponsibility for it when you create it … was a faithful dodge buyer but will not be after this.

A lot of sad stories but no useful information and, yes, I have a Sebring been sitting in a parking lot for 5 months now. Does anyone know the current status of this lawsuit?

I also purchased a used 1999 Dodge Intrepid I spent approx $1500.00 fixing issues here and there, plus a transmission. Then noticed the oil light was constantly coming on, had oil changed but the oil light would not go away. Then the car started making a knocking noise and turning off constantly. Per the mechanic the motor is blown due to a company glitch having something to do with the oil. The car was used for 3-4 months and is now sitting outside useless. How can I join this suit, per the mechanic I need to replace the engine and I don’t have the thousands of dollars it costs to repair.
