The car started smoking and using oil when it had less than 80,000 miles on it. I have seen many other Intrepids leaving a cloud of smoke. I know that the engine is faulty and has a terrible design. It costs several hundred dollars in labor to replace the water pump because of the location in the engine. You have to take off the tire to replace the battery. The engine design is lousy. I have talked to mechanics who tell me that lots of people have had major problems with the 2.7 liter Chrysler engine. It is not the consumers fault and I feel that Chrysler should pay for my engine being rebuilt.
