Intrepid 4D 2.7L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 126,000 miles

First the oil indicator came on, then suddenly a loud noise, and then "bang", and the engine shuts off. That's it. The car is disabled. When I called for a tow company, the driver immediately tells me that this problem is common with Dodge Intrepid 2.7L. How do you know I asked? We tow many of these cars for engine shutdown problems. Generally after testing mechanics always blame it on the nature of the beast "the 2.7L engine of this car is simply worthless". NO MORE DODGE OF ANY KIND FOR ME ANYMORE. HOW CAN WE COMPETE WITH JAPANESE AND GERMAN CARS IF WE DON'T SATISFY OUR OWN "AMERICAN" CUSTOMERS? SHAME ON CHRYSLER/DODGE FOR BUILDING THIS TYPE OF JUNK. IT HAS BEEN HARDSHIP FOR MY FAMILY BECAUSE WE HAVE TO FINISH MAKING PAYMENTS ON THIS PIECE OF JUNK, BUT WE CAN ONLY DRIVE ONE CAR, TO SCHOOL, TO WORK, ETC. SHAME ON CHRYSLER/DODGE FOREVER.

problem #1

Intrepid 2.7L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 150,000 miles

Dodge intrepid stalls with the check engine light on. Code ran for #6 ignition coil, so I replaced it. The car started
and drove for a day, when the check engine light comes back on and stalled again. New code ran for intermittened loss
of the cam and crankshaft position sensors, so I then replaced those along with doing the spark plugs as well.
Now the car will turn but won't start. The spark plugs smell like gas after cranking so I don't think that it's a fuel problem.

I can not afford to send the car to the shop so if you have any ideas
please reply...
